Norwegian seafood exports dip despite record-breaking salmon sales

Norway’s seafood exports totalled NOK 18.3 billion in October 2025, down 1% year-on-year, despite a record performance from the country’s flagship product, salmon. The decline was driven largely by lower exports of mackerel and herring, according to the Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC).
