Pike Perch

SANDER LUCIOPERCA 

Pike Perch, also known as Zander, is a premium freshwater whitefish primarily sourced from European lakes and rivers, including the deep, clean waters of Lake Balaton and Lake Peipus. Highly prized for its delicate taste and fine flake, it has become a favorite among chefs and retailers across Europe. 

FORMAT

  • Skin-on or skinless fillets 
  • Available fresh or IQF 
  • Packed in bulk or retail-ready formats 

Fishing Grounds

Mainly harvested in Eastern and Central Europe, including Estonia, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. Sourced from responsibly managed inland fisheries and aquaculture facilities. 

DELICATE FLAVOUR & FIRM TEXTURE

This versatile fish is naturally lean, with white, boneless flesh that offers a mild, slightly sweet flavour and firm bite. It’s especially popular in European cuisine, both for its clean fillet yield and adaptability across culinary styles—from fine dining to home-cooked meals. 

Pike Perch is typically available as skin-on or skinless fillets, fresh or individually quick frozen (IQF). Fillets are carefully processed to meet the high standards of retail and foodservice customers, with consistent sizing and excellent plate presentation.
