Lerøy can trace its operations back to 1899, when the fisherman-farmer Ole Mikkel Lerøen started selling live fish on the Bergen fish market. This was fish he either had caught himself or had bought from other fishermen. The fish was hauled to market in a corf behind Ole Mikkel Lerøen’s rowing boat, a journey that could take between 6 and 12 hours, depending on prevailing winds and currents. Over time, Ole Mikkel Lerøen’s operations gradually came to include retail sales in Bergen, the sale of live shellfish and a budding export business.

Today Lerøy serves a variety of tasteful seafood products to many markets under the Lerøy Brand, and the pioneering spirit is still very much alive in everything we do. We promise you a tasteful experience based on high-quality products.
