Lumpfish roe
The Icelandic lumpfish and the lumpfish roe itself are MSC-certified, which is globally recognized as the most reputable certification for fish and seafood.
The three core principles of MSC certification:
- The fishery must operate at a sustainable level.
- Certification is only granted if the species maintains its natural population and diversity.
- The fishery must comply with national and international sustainability regulations.
