Fish Offal Supplier
Dramm Corporation, based in Manitowoc, WI, has been producing liquid fish fertilizer, marketed as “Drammatic Liquid Fish Fertilizer,” for over 20 years. Our fertilizer is compliant with the USDA National Organic Program requirements and is OMRI and CDFA listed for use by organic farmers. The primary ingredient, fish offal, is collected from various sources on The Great Lakes, and typically includes salmon, trout, whitefish, walleye, perch, and rough fish offal. At our processing facility in Algoma, WI, the raw material is processed into a liquid, then aged, and filtered to create a final product.
If your business processes wild-caught fish, and you need an environmentally friendly way to dispose of it, we may be able to help. Review the “Things to Know” points, confirm you have a refrigerated storage space, then complete the supplier contact form below.
Things to Know
- Offal suppliers play a crucial role in the production process, by storing fish offal in refrigerated storage until it is picked up by Dramm. Unrefrigerated offal will not be collected.
- Dramm only collects fish offal. No other type of offal should be offered.
- Offal must be wild-caught, preservative-free, and free from any other adulteration.
- Dramm supplies collection totes for collecting fish offal. These large, square, HDPE totes have lids and are provided by Dramm. A forklift is required to handle these totes when full (~1,200 LBS.). Suppliers are provided with these containers at no cost but must return them if the relationship with Dramm ends.
- Trash and or debris contamination of an offal load can halt our grinding process unnecessarily. Suppliers not able to provide clean loads will be purged from our network.
- A collection plan is established with each supplier to set pick-up dates that suit their schedule. Refrigerated trailers transport the totes and barrels to the Algoma, WI production facility. Dramm is responsible for planning load pick-ups and will cover the cost of loads coming to the plant.
- Suppliers may receive a stipend per pound of fish offal collected, though the amount is negotiable and not guaranteed.
- Dramm's fertilizer benefits suppliers by offering an environmentally friendly alternative to questionable disposal methods, helping recover valuable nutrients for crop growing. Drammatic fertilizer enhances soil quality, promoting the growth of organic foods without synthetic chemicals.
Do you have refrigerated (28° F to 32° F) storage space for fish offal to accumulate?
