Seagold was established in 1996, to act as the UK’s marketing arm for Samherji hf. selling Frozen At Sea fillets, of the ‘Ice Fresh’ brand. As well as selling Samherji products, Seagold also sells from vessels operating out of Faroe Islands, England, Scotland, Poland and Germany.
Seagold is based in Hull, in the heart of the UK’s fishing industry, and is one of UK’s leading fish importers. Gustaf Baldvinsson has been Managing Director since 1996 and employs 6 members of staff. Seagold started selling Frozen At Sea fillets within the UK but with rapid growth, operations have diversified. Now the sales also include IQF and fresh products in UK, France, Belgium, Germany, USA, Poland and Greece with customers covering wholesale, retail and processing sectors. Much of the wholesale goes into the fish and chip trade – which many see as the national dish of Britain.
