Products
Lofoten Viking AS has access to world class raw materials from some of the world’s most well-managed fish stocks, from inshore fleets, deep-sea fleets and our own trawlers. We produce goods from raw materials of groundfish such as cod, haddock and saithe, as well as Greenland halibut and redfish, and a range of other groundfish species in modest quantities. We supply salted fish and dried fish, in addition to fresh fish  We also supply headed and gutted frozen cod, satihe, haddock and Greenland halibut for further processing.

Lofoten Viking is Northern Norway’s largest supplier of stockfish products and products from pelagic fish, such as herring, capelin and mackerel. We have a modern MSC-certified factory that produce round-frozen and filleted products. Capelin roe also fall within our product portfolio.

What all our products have in common is our proximity to the fishing areas and our integrated production chain, which enables us to deliver and process the freshest fish possible, translating the fish into an extremely high quality end-product.

Lofoten is one of the best places in the world for producing stockfish. The further west you go in Lofoten, the better – in Værøy and Røst, conditions are particularly favourable. Visiting the Lofoten Islands in May is an experience for both the nose and the eyes, when knolls and hilltops are covered with fully laden stockfish racks. The island residents open their arms and proudly declare, “That’s our money you see hanging there.”

Fresh Fish
Lofoten Viking is a large exporter of fresh fish.
