Herring |
|
|
The Anthonisen Brand of herring dates back
over a 100 years. At that time virtually all herring was salted, but
today's market also includes frozen herring. The fat content of the
fish varies considerably between the Spring and the Autumn season,
being leaner in the Spring  and
fatter in the Autumn, when it is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids favourable
for good health. Herring can be prepared in many different fashions
- fresh, smoked and salted. The herring stocks were at an all-time
low in the 1970's, but are now on the way up again, and the demand
for herring is increasing. |

Mackerel |
|
|
Mackerel fished in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea is of excellent
quality. Anthonisen Seafood can supply round frozen mackerel and
mackerel  fillets.
The nutritional content of the mackerel varies during the course
of the year, and the fat percentage is 20- 30% in the Autumn and
considerably lower in the Spring. Mackerel is rich in Omega 3 fatty
acids and is thus very nutritious.
Mackerel is increasing in popularity in Europe, and is also well-known
product in Asia and Eastern Europe. Japan is still the largest market
for Norwegian mackerel, where it is mainly sold as round frozen.
The fishing season for mackerel in Norway is the Spring and Autumn.

Salmon |
|
|
Norwegian Salmon is renowned world-wide
for its superior quality. Salmon is farmed along the
West Coast of Norway, sheltered from the ocean by numerous small islands.
The salmon has optimal growth conditions in the cold clean water,
and the currents of the gulf stream keep the temperature above freezing
in the winter. Salmon is sold all over the world. Europe is still
the major market, but Japan and Taiwan are rapidly expanding. |

Trout |
|
|
Norwegian Trout is almost as well-known as Norwegian Salmon for
its superior quality. It has a
particularly strong foothold in the Japanese market, where the red
flesh is very popular. However, markets in Europe and USA are rapidly
increasing.
Anthonisen Seafood sells frozen trout, but can also supply fillets
on request. Farmed fish can be supplied all the year round, and
the quality is good enough and even regardless of season. Both salmon
and trout are nutritional being rich in Omega 3 fatty acids.
