About Fangst

Based in
Copenhagen, Denmark
Known for
Nordic tinned fish and shellfish

Based in Copenhagen, the company makes meals and snacks from what it can catch, harvest and hunt in the north, using organic ingredients where possible and seafood that is MSC or ASC certified or wild caught. It sticks to Nordic ingredients and gives a place to what it calls forgotten fish.

The company describes its tins as its catch of fish and shellfish from the waters of the North, preserved in cans. Alongside the seafood, the company makes a plant-based line called HØST.

Fangst questions

What do the MSC and ASC labels Fangst uses mean?

Fangst is a small Copenhagen company that uses only seafood from Nordic waters. Its seafood is wild caught or carries an MSC or ASC label. The MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) label means a fishery passed an independent check against a standard for sustainable fishing, and the ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) label does the same job for farmed fish.

What is smørrebrød?

Smørrebrød is the traditional open-faced sandwich of Denmark: a slice of buttered bread with toppings arranged on top, such as fish, sliced meats, cheese or spreads. The name joins the Danish words for butter (smør) and bread (brød). Fish is one of its usual toppings, and Fangst, based in Copenhagen, tins fish and shellfish from Nordic waters.
