P/F Varðin Information

Varðin is a leading supplier of pelagic fish in the North Atlantic, because of our large quotas and emphasis on quality. Our products are Atlantic mackerel, Atlantic herring, capelin and blue whiting. Available forms are whole round, h/g, flaps, fillets, IQF prodcuts and surimi base. The Faroe Islands lie in the middle of the North Atlantic. Varðin is therefore perfectly located in relation to the North Atlantic fishing grounds. It’s only a matter of hours, from the time the fish is caught, until it’s processed at Varðin Pelagic. Furthermore, RWS cooling systems keep the fish at -1,5 °C on board the ships. Likewise, cooling systems keep the fish at -1,5 °C during processing at Varðin Pelagic. Finally, we pack the fish in sealed airtight bags, quick freeze it and protect it from light. This certainly gives us a competitive advantage in the market, because it ensures freshness and perfect quality. We seek partnerships based on trust and mutual understanding, that allows honest dialogue between both parties. We encourage customer feedback, as we strive to produce quality products tailored to individual buyers. This is possible, because Varðin is a vertically integrated company that controls the value chain from fishing to distribution.
