Fiskerikajen: respecting the sea

Fiskerikajen is the Danish trailblazer in sustainable seafood sourcing. Supplying fish and seafood to Denmark’s finest chefs, Fiskerikajen combines a passion for premium quality with an unwavering commitment to preserving marine ecosystems.
Our collaboration focuses on transforming challenges into opportunities, such as upcycling invasive shore crabs from Danish waters. Together, we create innovative, sustainable taste solutions that showcase how circular practices can address environmental concerns while adding value to the food system.

Deep commitment to marine sustainability
Fiskerikajen’s operations are rooted in respect for the ocean and its ecosystems. Their pioneering sustainability initiatives focus on minimising environmental impact while ensuring traceability and quality at every step.
These actions demonstrate Fiskerikajen’s leadership in advancing responsible practices within the seafood industry.

Low-impact fishing
Over 47% of Fiskerikajen's seafood is sourced from fisheries that use gear with minimal seabed disturbance. They aim to phase out bottom-trawled seafood entirely by 2026.

Regenerative farming
Products like seaweed, mussels, and oysters are actively supported for their ability to enhance biodiversity and sequester CO₂ for a healthier and more sustainable maritime future.

Full transparency
Every product is fully traceable, ensuring that Fiskerikajen provides customers with complete visibility into the journey of their seafood and reinforced trust throughout the entire supply chain.

Waste management
Ensuring optimal use of seafood, from upcycling by-products into biogas to exploring solutions for human consumption.

Educating future chefs
Partnering with institutions like Hotel og Restaurantskolen to teach sustainable sourcing practices and the importance of reducing food waste.
Innovating with shore crabs
One of the standout aspects of our partnership with Fiskerikajen is addressing the ecological impact of Danish shore crabs. With an overabundant population due to the decline of natural predators like cod, these crabs disrupt local ecosystems.
In collaboration with REDUCED, Fiskerikajen turns this challenge into an opportunity by upcycling shore crabs into high-quality, sustainable taste solutions. This approach highlights how innovative partnerships can contribute to environmental restoration while delivering functional products for professional kitchens and manufacturers. It’s a testament to the power of combining sustainability with creativity to tackle pressing environmental issues.
