FROZEN SEAFOOD

Nowadays, almost thirty years later, it's hard to imagine supermarkets, fish shops and wholesalers without seaweed, and Hoogendijk has developed into an important player on the seaweed market. We import delicious, healthy seaweeds such as wakame and hijiki, and we make sure we fulfil all certification requirements.

HIJIKI

Hijiki is a Japanese brown seaweed that is used in the Asian cuisine in sauces or as a side dish. Hijiki is rich in dietary fibres, iron, calcium and magnesium. Hoogendijk has imported hijiki for retailers and wholesalers in the hotel/catering and fishing industries throughout Europe since the early nineteen-nineties.

WAKAME

Wakame is a brown seaweed that grows in Asian waters. Though it contains less iodine than other brown seaweeds, it has a high calcium content. Wakame has a mild, sweet taste with a fine structure and it is an important ingredient in Japanese miso soup. Wakame is also used in salads and in wok dishes. Hoogendijk has imported chuka wakame since the early nineteen-nineties. We supply this wakame, which is marinated based on an authentic Japanese recipe, to retailers and wholesalers in the hotel/catering and fishing industries throughout Europe.
