Caught in the deeply cold, clean waters of the Arctic, our Norwegian prawns are of a quality and purity that makes them without equal.
Before then, large prawn stocks were only known to exist in the Drammensfjord, where they were fished on a small scale – using small scoop nets.
In the early 1900s, prawns were fished from sailing ships, but they were soon replaced by steamships and motor boats. During World War I, sailing ships were once again used due to a shortage of fuel. It was very challenging to trawl for prawns in the narrow prawn fields along the Norwegian coast – it was a hard life. Today, prawn fishing in the Barents Sea and near Svalbard and Greenland is done using big trawlers.
The F/T Remøy is an arctic deepsea trawler. The vessel has been catching shrimp in Arctic areas, off the coast of Spitsbergen, and off the coasts of Greenland. The F/T Remøy is the only remaining trawler in Norway that exclusively fishes for prawns.
The Arctic Swan is a factory trawler for fishing prawns and cod in Arctic waters. The vessel has been catching shrimp and cod in the Arctic areas, off the coast of Spitsbergen, and in the Barents Sea. In addition cod from the North Sea.
Frozen food has a vital role to play in tackling the global issue of food waste. In the EU alone, 88m tonnes of food are wasted annually. Freezing and ‘perfect portions’ can help turn this around. Knut Helge Vestre CEO / Partner
The plant has produced high-quality products for more than 20 years, and its annual production is 4,000 tonnes of finished goods. The factory is approved in accordance with Norwegian and international standards and legislation (BRC-approved). The prawns are produced to customer specifications: for private labels, our own brands and in neutral packaging.
Sustainable harvesting is very important to us. We are therefore accredited to the MSC, KRAV and Friends of the Sea and meet their approval requirements. For us, however, this is not enough. We have created our own certification brand, Pure Gourmet. The goal of Pure Gourmet is to set even stricter demands as regards sustainable harvesting.
Most of all, the company, brand and products are now firmly on the map – in the fishing industry, amongst food retailers and chefs, and in homes and kitchens all over the world.
