OUR PRODUCE
Quality – always! We go to great lengths to ensure our guests the best quality possible. This a commitment that we refuse to compromise.
We recognize that our responsibility for environmental, social and economic impacts are linked to the cooperation we have with our business relationships. Therefore, we collaborate with our suppliers and require that they live up to the same internationally agreed standards for responsible business conduct as we require from ourselves. This is just part of our mission to serve uncompromising quality.
At the same time, through dialogue, we try to boost responsible practices in our supply chain as well and assist with capacity building. Most importantly, we are open about our work in the hope that we can influence colleagues, guests and ultimately the society in which we operate.

OUR FISH
If we do not find ways to responsibly source fish from the world’s oceans there will no longer be seafood for us to serve and enjoy. As a restaurant family heavily focussed on seafood, we have an obligation to source responsibly and to inform our guests of the origins of our fish. Below, you can read a little about the fish on our menu!
SHAKE/SALMON
The salmon for our Danish and German restaurants comes from Norway, where the fish are raised with plenty of room to move. Healthy living conditions for the salmon result in a greater firmness to the meat and a fantastic taste.
The salmon in our UK restaurants comes from the grand Loch’s of Scotland. The fish swim around with lots of space and has multiple certifications, including for sustainable farming. The salmon’s taste is so good it has been endorsed by a range of high-profile chefs and has even been served at a royal wedding!
GINDARA / BLACK COD
The white fish that we grill on wooden skewers and serve as yakitori has lived a wild life in Alaska and is certified to the MSC Fisheries Standard, a set of requirements for sustainable fishing. Although, the fish appears black on the shelves when it is freshly caught it has a gleaming silver colour, hence the name Gindara, Gin means silver in Japanese. According to Japanese tradition Gindara is one of the world’s finest fish for grilling! It is so good you will be tempted to order it twice!
MAGURU / TUNA
The Tuna on our menu’s is of the Yellowfin variety and is line-caught. The best way to catch tuna is to use circular hooks when you’re in an area with a high concentration of sea turtles, then the risk of hauling in a turtle is less than with the common J-hook. Tuna caught with a circular hook is therefore a requirement we state when buying tuna.
HIRAMASA / YELLOWTAIL KINGFISH
Our Hiramasa (also known as Yellowtail Kingfish) is farmed in Denmark – on land, under controlled and sustainable conditions.
The fish comes from a passionate Danish farmer who – like us – places great emphasis on the environment and animal welfare. No medicine, antibiotics, or other additives are used in the production.
This beautiful fish with its red-white flesh has been certified for sustainable farming and fishing – proof of responsible and gentle production.
Sustainable farming means the fish is raised with care for both the environment and its own well-being. It's about cleaner water, healthier fish, and a greener future for our ocean resources.
HOTATE / SCALLOPS
We serve wild-caught scallops that live in deep water off the east coast of Canada, which are certified to the MSC Fisheries Standard. The scallops are frozen as soon as they arrive on the boat and remain frozen until they arrive in our kitchens. This preserves the freshness and the fine sea taste. Our scallops are only fished to levels below a sustainability quota, ensuring overfishing does not occur.
EBI / SHRIMP
The prawn you’ll find on our nigiri and in our tempura is a whiteleg warm-water prawn – a particularly flavorful species you can enjoy with a clear conscience.
It is farmed at a facility in Thailand certified for both social responsibility and environmental care.
After harvest, each prawn is gently dipped in tempura batter – by hand – by skilled professionals. The entire process is certified as both socially and environmentally responsible.
