Good fish starts with good advice

Tell us what you would like to cook and for how many people. We can help choose fish, portions and preparation. We agree the price with you in advance.

Our VÅRLAKS salmon comes from Northern Norway. Find more about our choices on the organic fish and certifications page. Our Dutch brown shrimp are MSC-certified; we can tell you which certification applies to other fish.

Take warm kibbeling and battered fish fillets home from the shop or stall. We serve kibbeling with your choice of ravigote, garlic or cocktail sauce. Enjoy herring with onions or in a bread roll. Our recipes offer cooking ideas for salmon, cod and other fish fillets.
