FAQ - Icelandic Wild-Caught Fish

What makes Icelandic fish different from other seafood?

Icelandic fish is sourced from some of the coldest, cleanest waters in the North Atlantic. Slow growth rates, strong ocean currents, and strict fisheries management produce fish with clean flavor, firm texture, and consistent quality.

Is all Icelandic fish wild-caught?

Most traditional Icelandic species such as cod, haddock, halibut, and wolffish are wild-caught. Some species, like salmon or Arctic char, may be farmed depending on the product. Each product page specifies how the fish is sourced.

Is Icelandic wild-caught fish sustainable?

Yes. Iceland is recognized globally for its science-based fisheries management, strict quotas, and long-term sustainability practices. Wild-caught fisheries are closely regulated to protect fish populations.

Does Icelandic fish taste different?

Yes. Many customers notice a cleaner, milder flavor with firmer texture compared to fish from warmer or less regulated waters. Icelandic fish is rarely muddy or overly fishy.

Is Icelandic fish safe to eat raw?

Some Icelandic fish products are suitable for raw consumption when labeled as sushi-grade or intended for raw preparation. Always refer to the individual product description for preparation guidance.

Why are some Icelandic fish portions smaller?

Certain species, such as halibut or wolffish, are only available as wild by-catch in Iceland. This results in naturally smaller fish, which are often prized for their delicate texture and clean flavor.

How is Icelandic fish handled after harvest?

Icelandic fish is processed under strict quality and temperature controls to preserve freshness and integrity from sea to export. Products are carefully portioned and vacuum sealed to maintain quality during transit.

Can Icelandic wild-caught fish be frozen?

Yes. Freezing upon arrival is recommended if not consuming immediately. Thaw slowly under refrigeration for best texture and flavor.

Why is Icelandic fish harder to find in the U.S.?

Much of Iceland’s seafood supply is reserved for European markets. Direct-to-consumer access in the U.S. is limited, making Icelandic wild-caught fish less common than other imported seafood.

Nordic Catch is your go-to spot for Icelandic seafood delivery.

What’s the best way to cook Icelandic wild-caught fish?

Simple preparations work best. Gentle pan-searing, roasting, or poaching allows the natural flavor and texture to shine without overcooking.
