Sustainably harvested and grown

Iceland’s Wild Fisheries are amongst the best managed in the world and the nutrient rich coastline and geo-thermal waters are spawning a rapidly growing aquaculture industry too. Icemar and its owner New England Seafood takes its’ obligation to protect our oceans and to respect and maximise the value of every fish harvested very seriously. And we play a very active role in driving continuous improvement on a wide ranging series of sustainability, social and environmental subjects.
