Fishland is a Reykjavik-based company that delivers Icelandic fish worldwide.
Iceland is surrounded by some of the best fishing waters on 
earth as a diverse range of fish species breed in the clean and vast North Atlantic Ocean. Fishland is a local company that was founded in 2014 by Kjartan Andrésson, a man with an impressive background in the fishing industry. “A lot of the other guys selling fish abroad are salesmen,” says Kjartan. “I owned a fish store and I was a sailor, so I know how to cut, process and prepare the fish. I have a strong background in fishing.” Fishland’s main emphasis is on delivering fresh fish, caught in a sustainable manner in the Atlantic Ocean, to worldwide markets. Fishland is growing quickly due to its owner’s experience and unrivalled customer service.
