Pescanova Hake Fillets

Pescanova is one of the world's leading brands in the frozen seafood sector. Founded in 1960 in Vigo, Spain, by José Fernández López, the brand revolutionized the industry by introducing the first large freezer ships capable of processing fish directly at sea. This innovation allowed for the preservation of peak freshness and nutritional value from catch to consumer.

Today, Pescanova is primarily owned by the Spanish banking entity Abanca, which stabilized the company's financial operations. The brand maintains a massive global presence with fishing fleets and processing plants across various continents, including significant operations in Namibia, Argentina, and South Africa. This extensive network means that while the brand is Spanish, the actual hake fillets can be caught and processed in multiple international waters depending on the season and fishing quotas.
