Fjord in brief

Our history goes back to 1986. Their bad experience in the last century has to mean that our customers believe that what we do and the way we run the business are right. Fjord Foods is the parent company for Fjord Wholesale, Fjord Seafood and Fjord Logistics. We handle import and export of fish and shellfish for our customers all over Scandinavia, along with sales to wholesalers and fishmongers in Denmark – they appreciate the over 30 years of experience we have, our expertise on products, and the endless opportunities for new varieties we offer.
