FASFA is the Frozen at Sea Fillets Association, a trade organisation representing trawler owners and distributors of frozen at sea (FAS) filleted fish from Norway, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Spain, Russia, Greenland and the UK. FASFA was formed in September 2000 and has worked to improve the understanding of frozen at sea fish with the consumer and trade markets by promoting environmental, quality and healthy eating messages.
FASFA and its members promote a message of quality with regards to frozen at sea fillets and to highlight the general health benefits of eating fish. For information about members, click here.
FASFA also ensures all its members fish in the well managed waters of the North Atlantic and Barents Sea to preserve the sustainability of future fishing stocks.
Frozen at sea filleted fish and the careful management of the North Atlantic and Barents Sea are vital to British interests because frozen cod and haddock fillets are now used by 98% of UK Fish & Chip shops.

The frozen at sea process ‘locks-in’ the quality and goodness of the fish within five to six hours of being caught, which guarantees freshness and quality of the fillet
