Moist and rich in salmon flavor, this fjord-grown fillet comes nestled in a buttery pool of rich rapeseed oil with a satisfying hint of char.
The clear and still waters of Faroe Islands protected fjords make its salmon farms amongst the cleanest and healthiest in the world. The result is a fatty, rich fish that bursts with flavor and is every bit as delicious as it looks.
About a century ago, there were hundreds of canneries dotting the coastlines of Scandinavia, but nowadays that number has dwindled to just a handful. Much like North America, tinned seafood in Northern Europe has for many decades been synonymous with bargain prices and supermarket quality, and as a result, was largely overlooked. Enter: Fangst founders Martin and Rasmus, who for years gazed longingly toward their European cousins to the south; places like Spain and Portugal where quality tinned fish is both ubiquitous and widely celebrated. Knowing the abundance of delicious seafood from Nordic waters – much of which was caught for export – the duo set out to create a northern counterpart to Southern Europe’s rich variety of conserva brands. Today, as the premier contemporary conserva label operating in Northern Europe, Fangst is both looking toward the future and reawakening its region’s storied past, creating products that live at the intersection of sustainability, gastronomic excellence, craftsmanship, and design.
