Longline fishing

The sustainable and gentle fishing method

The term longline fishing in many ways brings to mind a pleasant fishing trip with a rod and bait. Of course, that's not quite how it happens on the boats that catch fish for our products, but there is still some truth to it. When comparing longline fishing to trawl fishing, there are many advantages for the environment and for you as a customer.

The difference between catching one fish at a time on a line and hauling up 5-20 tons of fish onto the deck is that you ensure minimal impact on the seabed. Likewise, the fish sustain fewer injuries and undergo better bleeding, resulting in line-caught fish being whiter and firmer in flesh.

With hook and line, the fish come on board alive. Shortly after being caught, the fish are processed and frozen at sea to ensure the best quality and freshness. The fast process from catch to freezing maintains the meat's structure and texture, and it encapsulates and preserves the fish's natural vitamins and minerals.

Our cod is line-caught in the cold and clean waters near Alaska. Therefore, you can enjoy our products with a clear conscience.
