Since 1899

Back in 1899, after six hours of rowing, a young Ole Mikkel Lerøen sold his first catch at the Fish Market in Bergen. More than a century later, Lerøy Fjord Trout is available worldwide - and our passion for outstanding seafood has only grown stronger.

Born and bred in the fjords of Western Norway, where fresh glacial water embraces the Arctic currents. Our Fjord Trout has a tender texture, delicate fresh flavor, and is intensely red in color.

Home of the fjord trout

In our search for the perfect source, we found the small village of Sundal. Located in the beautiful Hardanger fjord, at the base of the Bondhus Glacier, Lerøy’s Fjord Trout lives between the 1000 meter mountain peaks.

The hatchery itself lies under the glacier, and the plant is filled with mountain water from the glacier. Lerøy has six fjordtrout hatcheries in total and around 20 seawater locations in operation.

Pure icy water

The glacial melting is perfect for our fish and its growth. It is rich in natural minerals after being filtered through natural sediments on the way to the plant and loaded with oxygen.
