About us
North Cape Seafoods is a fish processing company located adjacent to Greencastle Harbour. We are a specialist processor of cod and haddock to the Fish and Chip trade in Ireland. We also produce a range of smoked cod and coley. Established in 2014 by Peter McCormick, a young and enthusiastic individual with a love for the local fishing industry in Greencastle.
What was the motivation behind establishing North Cape?
“Fishing, it was in my veins. It was all I ever wanted to do, from running around the fish auctions as a child down on Greencastle harbour, to working on deep sea Norwegian long liners in my 20’s, the dream was to set up my own fish company.” Peter McCormick
From very humble beginnings, North Cape has grown in to one of the leading producers in our field, with a key focus on providing tailored filleting and portioning solutions to meet our customer requirements by a highly motivated team.
Modern Processing Solutions
Here at North Cape we fillet all our fish and have invested in modern filleting technology to process our cod and haddock. Our filleting machines can process a range of fish from small 300g haddock right up to 6kg cod. Our fish are inspected for bones after filleting and are portioned, graded and packed to each individual customer requirement. We can offer a full range of fresh and frozen products to meet the demands Irish Fish and Chip shops nationwide. Nothing is wasted. We remove valuable by products from our fish after filleting, such as mince, to make the best use of our valuable resource. Our factory is fully HACCP compliant and is audited by SFPA on a regular basis.
We also provide a filleting service that we process and pack fish for other companies. Get in touch with us if you need extra filleting capacity for your current organisation.
Quality
Quality is at the heart of what we do. Since we established in 2014, strong relationships have been made with boat owners and traders so we can receive first-hand information about what the markets are doing so we can make judgements on what stock to buy at any time so we can provide the best service to our customers. We have traceability systems in place that can track the journey your fish has been on from the moment it was caught until it arrives on your plate.
Sustainability
We only source our fish from accredited and responsible fisheries so that the wonderful natural resource that we love so much will be preserved for the future generations to come. All our cod comes from MSC certified fisheries in the Barents Sea, Iceland and Greenland. We source our haddock and other species from the Irish Fishing Fleet that take part in responsible fishing practices.
