Blamusling No. 2 – Smoked Mussels

Fangst Blamusling No. 2 – Smoked Mussels

Fangst Blamusling No. 2 are smoked mussels from Denmark's Limfjord. The mussels are processed in Copenhagen. Hand-shelled and cleaned, they are first lightly smoked before being preserved in cold-pressed rapeseed oil from the island of Bornholm and stored in small tins. Fangst's smoked mussels are a truly local product that the Fangst founders, Martin, Rasmus, and Mikkel, are rightly proud of.

Blamusling – Blue Mussels from the Limfjord

The founders of Fangst have been familiar with Scandinavian food culture since childhood. Martin, who grew up in a family of biologists, birdwatchers, and fish farmers, wants to contribute to making good food from natural resources, such as the mussels from the Limfjord. Rasmus's home is the mussel beds of the Ise and Roskilde Fjords; even as a child, he wanted to know more about edible nature, flora, and fauna. Mikkel, an experienced chef and product developer with extensive knowledge of Nordic ingredients and processing methods, is responsible for the recipes of the first Fangst tinned fish products.

The blue mussels, Latin: Mytilus edulis, for the Fangst tinned fish come from the Limfjord, an impressive 1500 km² cultural landscape connecting the North Sea with the Kattegat. Not only are mussels caught in the Limfjord – a large proportion of Danish mussel fishing licenses pertain to this body of water – but Denmark's last oyster beds are also found here. This speaks to the excellent water quality. In the cold waters of the Limfjord, the common mussel, Danish blamusling, grows very slowly. Only in this way does it develop its fine taste and a pleasant, firm texture.

Fangst wants to bring mussels back to the plates of Danes and the steadily growing community of tinned fish lovers. Fangst Nordic Canned Seafood brings the abundance of seafood from the Nordic ocean, preserved in cans, to your table as a delicious meal or as snacks from the North.
