Cod (Gadus Morhua)

15% of Faroe Seafood's export. Cod is caught all around the Faroe Islands and in the Barents Sea. The Faroese season is all through the year, but the season is at its height in March-April and in June-July. The main catches are made by using bottom trawl, long-line and jigging. The catch is mainly on 100-250 m depth where the ocean temperature is approx. 6-8° Celsius. The average size of the fish is 2-5 kg when approx. 4-7 years old. Cod is available fresh and frozen as fillets and portions, and in FAROE Brand for Retail & Catering.

30% of Faroe Seafood's export. Cold Water Shrimps are mainly caught in
the North Atlantic region. Faroe Seafood is the biggest Faroese
exporter of shrimps. The cooked shell-on shrimps are available all
through the year and are normally packed in 5 kg bulk boxes.
Furthermore, shrimps are available in 500g and 800g retail poly bags as
well as 800g retail boxes. A special production of raw shrimps for the
Japanese market is packed in 1 kg boxes. All processed and frozen at
sea by most advanced factory trawlers.

 

Salmon from the Faroes

15% of Faroe Seafood's export. Salmon is farmed in the clean, ice-cold waters surrounding the Faroe Islands providing ideal conditions for farming. The fish farmings are situated in close distance to the plants, thereby securing the freshness of the products. Faroe Seafood is vertically integrated in the production and by being at the source of the supply, Faroe Seafood is able to offer high quality products at competitive prices. Salmon is available all through the year.
