ICEFISH AWARDS

One of the highlights of IceFish 2026 was the Icelandic Fisheries & Aquaculture Awards, which recognised outstanding achievements across the fishing, aquaculture and seafood sectors. First introduced in 1999, the awards have become an established benchmark of excellence within the industry.

The Icelandic Fisheries & Aquaculture Awards will return to IceFish 2028, celebrating excellence, innovation and outstanding achievements across the fishing, aquaculture and seafood industries.

Nominations for the 2028 awards will open in due course. Further details, including nomination guidelines and deadlines, will be announced here, so please check back for updates.
