The Fisheries Exhibition 2008 took place in Fífan in Kópavogur 2.-4. October sl. There was a great demand for the show and it seems that each show is bigger than the one that came before. Matís took part now as last time and there was a lot of traffic in the company's booth. The highlights were when Ísfélag Vestmannaeyja offered live kúffisk on 3 and 4 October and when Einar Kristinn Guðfinnsson, Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture, visited Matís' exhibition area.
A large queue was created when the kúffisk was offered and the taste of the fish was well liked by those who tried it, as there was a lot of delicacy on the trip. The demand was so great that the exhibitors offered the roads much longer than originally planned.
