UK-based seafood exporter Ideal Foods is teaming up with Norwegian salmon giant Mowi, with a new supply agreement for byproducts.

Mowi Consumer Products UK will supply Ideal Foods with fish byproducts, including salmon heads, bellies and collars.

Ideal Foods exports fish, shellfish and fish byproducts to more than 40 countries worldwide. In the last financial year, the company sold 11,520 metric tons of fish, 87 percent of which was sold overseas.

According to the company, as a low cost and nutritious food source, there is no shortage of demand for fish byproducts.
