The FANGST Story

In his childhood, Martin, co-founder of FANGST, enjoyed many visits to trout farms with his father, a biologist dedicated to developing world-class farming of trout in Danish freshwater. In this tin, FANGST has preserved a bit of that memory—and some absolutely delicious smoked trout with juniper and lemon thyme. It's a personal story captured in every bite.
