Faroese Salmon No. 3 - Smoked Salmon

Fangst Færøsk Laks No. 3 – Smoked Salmon from the Faroe Islands

Discover Fangst Færøsk Laks No. 3, a beechwood-smoked salmon from the clear waters of the Faroe Islands. This aromatic, fatty fish is processed in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. The smoked over beech wood Laks is first hand-cleaned and briefly smoked over birch wood before being preserved in cold-pressed rapeseed oil from the island of Bornholm and canned in golden tins. The Faroese Salmon is a truly local product that Fangst founders Martin, Rasmus, and Mikkel are rightly proud of.

Færøsk Laks – Salmon from the Faroe Islands

The founders of Fangst have been familiar with Scandinavian eating culture since childhood. Martin, who grew up in a family of biologists, birdwatchers, and fish farmers, wants to contribute to making good food from natural resources, such as the rediscovery of Færøsk Laks. Rasmus's home is the mussel banks of the Ise and Roskilde Fjords; even as a child, he wanted to know more about edible nature, flora, and fauna. Mikkel, an experienced chef and product developer with extensive knowledge of Nordic ingredients and processing methods, is responsible for the recipes of the first Fangst canned fish products.

The Faroe Islands, or "Sheep Islands," are a group of 18 islands located in the North Atlantic between Norway and Iceland. The islands, which belong to Denmark, have enjoyed extensive autonomy since 1948 but are not part of the European Union's customs territory in terms of fishing. The fishing zone is 200 nautical miles. The Faroese, approximately 50,000 islanders, are proud descendants of Vikings who for a long time primarily earned their living from fishing and sheep farming and preferred to eat their good salmon themselves rather than exporting it. Due to the long fishing tradition, there are high sustainability standards in local aquaculture.

The remote cool location in the North Atlantic, excellent water quality, and strong currents provide perfect living conditions for Faroese salmon. Furthermore, the average air temperature does not rise above 10.5 degrees Celsius even in July or August. This allows the salmon to grow slowly and develop its special aroma.

Fangst wants to bring Faroese salmon, Latin: Salmo Salar, back to the plates of Danes and the steadily growing fan community of canned fish enthusiasts. They have succeeded. And since all good things come in threes, after the successful No. 1 and No. 2 variants, there is now a third - smoked - salmon variant.

Enjoy Fangst Færøsk Laks No. 3 pure on fresh bread or as a delicate accompaniment to salads. Its fine smoky aroma harmonizes excellently with fresh herbs and citrus notes. It is also a true delight as part of a Nordic tapas platter.
