SIKU CIRCUMPOLAR NEWS SERVICE

There’s a new plan to send fresh turbot from Ilulissat, Greenland to Europe.

Three days after being caught in the Ilulissat fiord, the fish would be served up at fancy restaurants in Denmark, France, Belgium and northern Germany.

The new company behind this plan is called Greenland Glacier Seafood and its shareholders include 42 fishers and residents in Ilulissat.

In addition to sending turbot to Europe, the company also plans to promote the Ilulissat’s ice fiord, which is on the list of Unesco´s World Heritage sites, says the Sermitsiaq newspaper.
