Norwegian salt-fish specialist that cures cod at its own plants in northern Norway and runs an Iberian finishing and packing facility, Northern Fish Iberia – Forsöl, Lda, in Gafanha da Encarnação (Aveiro), operating since 2013.
Northern Fish is a Norwegian salt-fish producer that catches and cures cod and other Arctic whitefish at its own facilities in northern Norway. In Portugal — the world’s largest bacalhau market — it operates through Northern Fish Iberia – Forsöl, Lda, a logistics and finishing site in Gafanha da Encarnação, near Aveiro.
Active in Portugal since 2013, the Aveiro facility handles personalised sorting, grading and custom packing of salted cod for B2B clients, operating as a Portuguese extension of the company’s Norwegian production base.
Northern Fish sits inside the Portugal ↔ Scandinavia business corridor that NorthSouth HQ tracks every day — a Nordic company that has chosen to operate on the ground in Portugal rather than serve it from afar. Its Portuguese footprint is one data point in the wider story of how Nordic capital, industry and talent are deepening their presence in Portugal in 2026.
Fractio helps Nordic companies enter the Portuguese market — from market sizing to first sales, hiring and legal setup.
