Cod liver oil
Since 2015 we have produced cod liver oil in Grindavík, now up to 1,000 MT a year, from liver landed straight from the boats and trimmings from canning factories.
About our cod liver oil
Dried with geothermal energy
We dry indoors with hot air heated by geothermal energy. It began with a single drying container and has grown year by year into one of the largest fish drying plants in Iceland, with a capacity of around 15,000 MT of raw material a year.
How we dry
Our customers are in Nigeria
Up to 3,000 tonnes of dried fish products leave Grindavík every year for Nigeria, packed in 30 kg hessian bags and shipped by container. The products are rich in protein, vitamins and other valuable nutrients.
Using 100% of the fish
Using side products is the heart of the company. Heads and bones from fish processing are our main products, and the liver becomes cod liver oil.
