Our Products

Every single fish we catch, process and deliver at VSV is of the highest Icelandic quality, caught in the pure waters of the North Atlantic.

As our location on the island of Vestmannaeyjar is one of the windiest in the world, our fish are as wild as can be — so you’re guaranteed to taste the wild in every bite.
Our fishermen know our fish so well that they ensure they’re caught when they have the best possible oil content – relative to when they feed and spawn – so that when they reach your customer’s plate, they’re as delicious as ever.

We use sustainable fishing methods to ensure high-quality and responsible products. Due to our unique location so close to the waters, we’re able to fish for shorter periods of time, therefore using less fuel, while also ensuring fresher fish. It’s a win, win.

Once you’ve tried our fish, you’ll know what we’re talking about. The kind of quality that can only be found in the purest waters of one of the wildest and most beautiful parts of the world — it’s incomparable. And that’s something we call The Taste of Iceland.

Groundfish

The VSV groundfish are caught year round in close proximity to the Vestmannaeyjar island. The short trips allow VSV to deliver the freshest groundfish from pure Icelandic waters. The four species most commonly processed are cod, redfish, saithe and haddock.

Pelagic Fish

VSV seasonally catches and processes quality pelagic species from the coasts of Iceland, close to the shores of Vestmannaeyjar. The most common pelagic fish produced by VSV are capelin and capelin roe, mackerel and herring.

Fishmeal

VSV produces two types of fishmeal:

NSM-meal (NorSeaMink) - High quality fishmeal
Fish meal standard

VSV also produces fish oil. The raw material for fishmeal and fish oil production is mainly parts of herring, capelin, mackerel and blue whiting that are not utilised for human consumption. Fishmeal is made from the byproducts of VSV’s fish processing: spines, fish skin and innards.

Fishmeal is rich in protein and is largely used, along with the fish oil, in the production of feed for fish farming. The buyers are mainly fish feed producers in Norway, but fish pens in various European countries, including Iceland, are also fed fishmeal and fish oil from VSV. Fish oil is also used in the leather industry.
