Experience the joy of sea angling from the dramatic Faroe Island shoreline. Travel by road to beautiful locations and try your hand at fishing. If this is your first attempt at fishing, don’t worry — sea angling from the shore is easy to learn and fun too.

For as long as people have lived in the Faroe Islands, they have relied on shore fishing to bring food to the household. The local term “seiðaberg” describes fishing for saithe from the shore, but other species are common too. It has been said about one of the fiords that you visit, that all you need to survive there, is a fishing rod and a pot to cook your catch in.

Some of the fish commonly caught from the Faroe Islands shoreline are saithe, dab, Atlantic cod, whiting, pollack, haddock, ling, tusk, and redfish. One interesting fish is the beautiful “reyðfiskur,” a variation of the Atlantic cod that assumes the red colors of its seaweed habitat.

Fishing gear provided will be casting rods, lures, tackle, and bait. Visit beautiful locations and hear local stories. Create unique Faroe Island memories, including the beautiful locations, the fishing, the sea, the stories, and the company.
