Vaðhorn has produced saltfish since 1978. Vaðhorn started with Bromse, today the production includes both wet-salted, dry-salted, splitted fish and fillets, primarily from cod, brosme and ling.

At Vaðhorn we buy the rawmaterial from different fish markets. Most of our rawmaterial comes from the Faroese Fish Market, but every now and then we buy fish from Norway or Iceland. Since 2007 we started producing saltfish from a frozen rawmaterial. This rawmaterial comes mainly from Norway.

The waters surrounding the Faroe Islands are among the cleanest waters in the world. These waters have been fished by the Faroese people for decades, and in the old days, when freezing wasn’t an option, the Faroese people decided to salt the fish. Not for the great taste, nor for its looks. Simply because lacking methods of preservation.
