Visafslag (Fish Auction)

Visafslag, or fish auction, refers to a marketplace where fish caught by fishermen is sold to buyers, typically seafood distributors, restaurants, and retailers. This process often takes place shortly after the catch to ensure freshness. During the auction, various species of fish are presented, and buyers bid on them, often using an electronic system to streamline the process. The goal is to achieve the best price for the fish while providing buyers with quality products. Fish auctions play a crucial role in the seafood supply chain, impacting both the economy and the sustainability of fish stocks.
