Faroese Salmon No. 1 – grilled salmon

Fangst Færøsk Laks No. 1 – grilled salmon in rapeseed oil

Fangst Færøsk Laks No. 1 is grilled salmon from the Nordic Sea. This aromatic, fatty fish is processed in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Hand-cleaned, it is first briefly but intensely grilled – what Fangst calls "flash grilled" – before being preserved in cold-pressed rapeseed oil from the island of Bornholm and sealed in golden fish tins. The Faroe salmon is truly a local product that the Fangst founders, Martin, Rasmus, and Mikkel, are rightly proud of.

Færøsk Laks – Salmon from the Faroe Islands

The founders of Fangst have been familiar with Scandinavian food culture since childhood. Martin, who grew up in a family of biologists, bird watchers, and fish farmers, wants to contribute to making good food from natural resources, like the rediscovery of Færøsk Laks. Rasmus's home is the mussel beds of the Ise and Roskilde Fjords, and even as a child, he wanted to know more about edible nature, flora, and fauna. Mikkel, an experienced chef and product developer with extensive knowledge of Nordic ingredients and processing methods, is responsible for the recipes of the first Fangst canned fish products.

The Faroes, meaning "Sheep Islands," are a group of 18 islands located in the North Atlantic between Norway and Iceland. The islands, which belong to Denmark, have enjoyed extensive autonomy since 1948 but are not part of the European Union's customs territory in terms of fishing. The fishing zone extends 200 nautical miles. The Faroese, approximately 50,000 islanders, are proud Viking descendants who for a long time primarily earned their living from fishing and sheep farming, preferring to eat their good salmon themselves rather than exporting it. Due to the long fishing tradition, there are high sustainability standards in local fish farming.

The remote, cool location in the North Atlantic, excellent water quality, and strong currents provide perfect living conditions for Faroese salmon. Furthermore, the average air temperature does not exceed 10.5 degrees Celsius even in July or August. This allows the salmon to grow slowly and develop its special aroma.

Fangst aims to bring Faroese salmon, Latin: Salmo Salar, back to the plates of Danes and the steadily growing community of canned fish enthusiasts. Fangst Nordic Canned Seafood brings the abundance of seafood from the Nordic Ocean, preserved in tins, to your table as a delicious meal or as snacks from the North.
