Fangst, a Danish seafood company, incorporates Nordic traditions into everything from catching to canning their pantry-friendly fish products. Mild, nutty and fatty, Fangst’s trout is sustainably harvested in state-of-the-art fisheries—set up in cold, pristine Nordic waters—before being canned and flavored with traditional Scandinavian preservation methods. This trout has a cleaner taste than most store-bought canned fish. A deep smokiness complements the mild fish, as well as herbal notes and light spice from the juniper and lemon thyme, a citrusy variety of the common herb. The fish comes skinless and packed in rapeseed oil, which is delicate enough to allow the meat’s bright brininess and clean flavor to shine through.
Martin Bregnballe, co-founder of Fangst, grew up learning about fisheries from his father, a biologist who helped develop world-class freshwater trout farms in Denmark. Although Fangst and his team are using traditional canning methods, Fangst prioritizes sustainable harvesting high-quality Nordic fish, with a focus on responsible freshwater farming and less profitable seafood sources, like sprats and squid, commonly considered bycatch.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
We like this right out of the can with good bread, pickles and boiled eggs, or served alongside Asparagus with Sauce Gribiche and Fried Capers and bread. While this high-end product is best used right out of the tin, it can also be swapped in for the fresh smoked trout in Kedgeree and Potato Salad and Smoked Trout with Horseradish and Chives (both recipes would require 2 cans each).
Shelf-stable until ready for use. Refrigerate after opening. Use within 1–2 days.
