Vísir hf., is a fishing, processing and sales company. It has four work sites around the country; in Grindavík, Thingeyri, Húsavík and Djúpivogur. Vísir produces diverse products from various kinds of fish. The varieties most commonly processed are cod, haddock, tusk, and ling. Catfish, blue ling and saithe are also used. Vísir takes pride in over 40 years' experience processing fish, chiefly salt fish. Salt fish is still the company's primary product although its product line now boasts a large selection of frozen, fresh and dried products. The production capacity at the four processing sites is impressive, and the company can therefore offer most types of products processed from an extensive variety of fish. Salt fish processing primarily consists of traditional split fish as well as salted fillets. Cod is mainly used for salting, but tusk and ling are used as well. By-products from salt fish processing are, for example, faces, fillets, swim bladder or airbladder, fish tongues (+ cheeks), gills, belly flaps and trimmings. Vísir hf. also produces a considerable amount of lightly salted, quick-frozen fillets. Vísir also offers a diversity of frozen products. Part of the processing delivers whole fillets that are either interleaved or quick-frozen. In addition, we produce many leftovers, cut in various ways from the fillets. The chunks are quick-frozen. The most commonly frozen varieties are haddock, along with cod, tusk, ling and catfish. Fresh products come mainly in the form of whole fillets and pieces. In addition, headed and whole fish have been sold. These products go by either ship or airfreight to buyers. As mentioned, cod and haddock feature most in fresh products, along with catfish. The dried products are mainly heads as well as various bones/spines and stockfish. The heads are from most fish varieties although largely from cod and haddock. The stockfish is mostly tusk.
