20-Plus Years in the Fresh

More than 20 unbroken years in the trade have made Landshandilin an expert in fresh products — thousands of tonnes of salmon, saithe, redfish and monkfish are annually shipped to markets across the world.

Over more than a decade, seafood trader Lands­­hand­ilin has built a strong position as a specialist supplier of fresh fish from the Faroe Islands. Shipments of mostly fresh whole salmon, fillets of saithe, redfish, and monk­fish tails are sent weekly to overseas fish markets.

Placing special emphasis on product quality and delivery reliability, Lands­hand­ilin has built a loyal customer base in Europe, Russia, and North America, says managing owner and director of sales Finn Rasmussen.

A combination of market expertise and independence in relation to sourcing partners has helped Lands­hand­ilin develop an effective system for managing sales, procurements and logistics, according to Mr Rasmussen. “It’s about getting exactly what the client needs and we can do that because we’re able to coordinate the best from selected sources on the right terms—we offer the best combination of uncompromising product quality and the right product specifications, and we do it on time and on budget.”

Landshandilin also offers frozen and salted seafood but fresh represents the bulk of the business. “When it comes to fresh fish, we have developed specific routines in order to ensure maximum freshness,” Mr Rasmussen said. “In the same way, we meet stringent quality standards with regard to frozen and salted products.”

The ability to meet the exact requirements of the customer and deliver on target is crucial for Lands­handilin, he added.

“Because we know the industry very well and cooperate with many vessel owners and seafood processors, we also have the advantage of being able to respond quickly and precisely to the requests of our customers.”

Those requests can vary a great deal — from the odd species ordered, to the special request with regard to size, weight, or quantity.

“Each customer is unique and each market has its own characteristics. We are well experienced in serving many Western, Central and Southern European markets as well as the United States and Russia and in the last few years other markets have also joined the list.

The range of products from Lands­hand­ilin comprises both farmed — notably salmon — and wild fish, all from sustainable, responsibly managed sources.

“Every piece of fish we offer comes from a completely sustainable source. Where it’s not farmed, it’s fished in some of the world’s richest waters where these resources abound and harvesting is managed rigorously.”
