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.

The picture shows the Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture and Sjöfn Sigurgísladóttir, CEO of Matís, together with Siggeir Stefánsson, production manager at Ísfélagið, enjoying the shellfish.
