About us
We are Breistrand AS, a Norwegian seafood company. The company was registered registered at the address “Havnegata 55, 8430 Myre” and was registered on 18 April 1990 as an AS. We combine a new approach to business and extensive experience of seasoned industry veterans. We handle the whole cycle – from catching to processing, storage and distribution.
Location
Production plant is in Norway and part of our administrative resources are in the settlement of United Kingdom. Batsfjord is good for fishing due to its proximity to the Barents Sea areas rich in snow- and king crab stock.
Besides, a local transport network is favourable for transportation of the end products via regularly functioning logistics arteries: by sea, land, and air. Beyond that, as we are located in Norway, it is fast and easy to deliver our products to the EU countries and other parts of the world.
Cold waters and cool heads
Skill. Strength. Peace of mind. Deep knowledge of the local waters, and equally deep respect for the ocean’s immense power. These are essential qualities for all crew members on our vessels.
Crab catching in Arctic waters is extremely demanding and dangerous work. In winter, even the smallest mistake could prove fatal. Aboard Arctic Wolf, our newest king crab and snow crab catcher, the whole crew of 8, including the cook and the engineer participate in the crabbing.
During the season, with several weeks at sea at a time, 12 hour days are the norm, 24 when necessary. In Arctic waters, every single day is a challenge. We love it.
