FANGST
Fangst is a small company based in Denmark that is committed to the further development of Nordic food culture. Traditional Nordic foods and forgotten preparation methods are to be rediscovered and adapted to modern times. This also includes the art of preserving fish and seafood. With respect for nature and gastronomic craftsmanship, the Scandinavian company produces canned delicacies from the Nordic Atlantic.
SUSTAINABILITY AS A PRIORITY
The catching and preserving traditions of fish and shellfish in Denmark are characterized by their sustainability principles and their focus on the Nordic seas and fjords. Most of Fangst's preserved products are wild-caught and carefully sourced from the rich waters of the Nordic regions. Recognizing that industrial fishing can have a significant impact on the environment, the Danes are committed to a responsible approach, particularly through the selection and preservation of small fish species such as sprats and mussels.
The focus on smaller fish species is not only a pragmatic decision, but also a sustainable practice. By specifically selecting fish species that are lower in the food chain, the Danes minimize potential ecological impacts on higher levels of the marine community. This helps to maintain the ecological balance in marine ecosystems and support the long-term conservation of fish stocks.
ORGANIC-QUALITY INGREDIENTS
Fangst's sustainable philosophy extends not only to the selection of fish and seafood but also to the careful selection of oils and herbs. Particular attention is paid to controlled organic cultivation to ensure that the oils and herbs used meet the highest quality standards. The cold-pressed rapeseed oil, which serves as the basis for many of the preserved products, is sourced from Danish and Swedish farmers. These farmers use sustainable farming methods and thus contribute to an environmentally friendly supply chain. The herbs that underline the unique taste and freshness of Fangst products come from a small importer on the island of Funen.
Careful selection and collaboration with local suppliers not only supports the local economy, but also promotes the preservation of traditional farming practices. These partnerships help to strengthen regional farming communities while ensuring high quality ingredients for Fangst products. Another important aspect of Fangst's sustainable commitment is the use of 100% recyclable aluminum cans for their products. This decision underscores the company's commitment to not only providing high quality food, but also implementing environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
