Furic Solutions is a company that produces and sells fresh, frozen and cooked seafood products.
Furic Solutions is based in the heart of Saint Guénolé, the largest sardine port in France and seventh largest fresh landed catch port. At our processing units, you can enjoy the sight of sardine boats returning at dawn or watch the 4.30 pm landing.
Furic Solutions has a 2,800 sqm unit for several processes:
- Cooking shellfish and crustaceans such as langoustines, brown crabs, lobsters and whelks.
- Freezing IQF portions, fillets and whole fish, mainly Pavillon France species such as monkfish, skate, hake, haddock, saithe, whiting, Atlantic pollock, white ling, cuttlefish, squid, whelk and langoustine.
- Packaging fish, shellfish and crustaceans in vacuum-sealed or modified atmosphere trays for self-service sections.
Our processing unit was refurbished in 2018 and meets all health and hygiene (hygiene airlock, boot bath, etc.) and process (forward flow, equipment, traceability, etc.) requirements.
Our cooking unit has modern equipment for traditional fresh water cooking, which delivers high quality finished products, and packaging in traditional polystyrene boxes or plastic trays with top seal films and modified atmosphere. There is also a processing unit with a saltwater cooking tunnel.
Our frozen processing unit has a nitrogen freezing tunnel. This freezing technique preserves the full sensory qualities of our products.
A testing laboratory performs daily microbiological and biochemical analyses, and a designated in-house tasting panel guarantees the sensory quality of our products.
