FANGST is Scandinavian for ‘catch’ – and is the name of our small company.
It is our mission to make tasty meals and snacks from what we catch, harvest and hunt. In waters, fields, and forests. With respect for nature and gastronomic craftsmanship. Preserved and ready to serve.
THE WILD NORTH
In the wild North people have for centuries been living of nature’s offerings by fishing, hunting and foraging. Surviving in the cold temperatures and dark winters was rough and demanding, and there was a need for highly nourishing foods, often preserved and stored for the long winters.
The North has so many flavors. The cold climate forces fish and shellfish to develop delicious texture and fatty meat. Plants and berries take extra time to develop deep intense taste and shining colors. In the short bright summer nature comes alive and we enjoy the lighter days and warming sun with deep gratitude.
Respecting nature and culinary craftmanship runs deep through Nordic culture and FANGST. Living with, and of nature, demands us to always make the most sustainable choices. We source from what’s around us, organic whenever possible, MSC, ASC or wild caught.
By only using ingredients rooted in the Nordic landscape and honoring “forgotten” fish and herbs, we want to show our great diversity of fish and plants and pay respect to our culinary heritage.
This is our contribution to the meal:
FANGST is our catch of fish and shellfish from waters of the North. Preserved in cans.
HØST is our harvest of plants, made into organic spreads, mayos, pickles and crispbread.
VILDT will be (not ready yet!) patés with meat from wild nature and sustainable farms.
Enjoy!
