But as the 100% Fish Project is learning, there are plenty of uses for these parts of the fish as well. Some might use a portion of this waste for fertilizer in a garden, but otherwise it is simply thrown out. But as the oceans warm and fisheries continue to be harvested unsustainably, Iceland has been looking for a way to make sure that the fish they do catch are put to the fullest use, for obvious things like food and for plenty of other novel uses as well as they work towards using 100% of their catch.Īfter harvesting fish for food, most amateur fishers will discard around 60% of the fish by weight. This is perhaps not surprising as it’s an isolated island surrounded by ocean near the Arctic circle. For hundreds of years, Icelanders have relied on the ocean for survival.
