What products contribute to the 100% fish?
The 100% Fish project presents various products made from Icelandic fish. Companies within the Icelandic Ocean Cluster develop supplements, proteins, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other high-value products from different parts of the fish. This is in contrast to more traditional usage which focused solely on the supply of seafood. As a result, Iceland is witnessing significant innovation in the utilization of fish, leading to the creation of novel products.
In Iceland, the economy is experiencing the emergence of cutting-edge health, pharmaceutical, and even fashion products derived from sustainable wild fish stock, including groundfish and lobster. This presents a unique opportunity as Icelanders actively seek ways to extract greater value from each fish, and the outcomes are evident. For example, this project’s efforts have resulted in extracting at least 30% more value from each Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) compared to most other developed countries.
