About Royal Greenland
Royal Greenland is the name on the company's consumer-ready seafood, sold to retailers alongside the private-label packs it makes for them and the bulk raw material it supplies to other food producers. The company traces its roots to 1774 but says it has focused on fishing, production and sale of wild-caught Greenlandic fish under the Royal Greenland brand since 1990. Prawns and cod are its main European lines; Greenland halibut and shell-on prawns dominate its Asian sales.
