Our Wild-Caught Icelandic Wolffish comes from the cold, deep waters of the North Atlantic and is rarely exported to the United States. Due to limited demand and highly localized fisheries, wolffish is virtually impossible to find in U.S. retail—Nordic Catch is one of the only places offering it directly to consumers.

This lesser-known species is prized by chefs for its firm flesh, large flakes, and subtle sweetness, often compared to lobster or crab. Wolffish performs exceptionally well across a range of cooking methods, maintaining structure without drying out.

This is not a fish for mass markets. It’s for customers who value rarity, quality, and access to species typically reserved for European kitchens.
