About us

Even as a little boy, Nisse started fishing. Fishing that has been passed down in the family for several generations and was a natural part of growing up. Great-great-grandfather, grandfather and father were all fishermen in the summer and salesmen or mink farmers in the winter. On the side of his regular work, Nisse continued to fish for many years before he made the decision in 1992 to invest fully in professional fishing. Today, Nisse Obbolas is the only remaining professional fisherman.

The first plans to further process the catches started in the early 1990s, but poorer catches and uncertainty changed the decisions. The years went by, but in the fall of 2011, the business idea was brought up to date again. In June 2012, we opened the doors to Salteriet's farm shop. A processing kitchen and a small shop adjacent to the old part of the Salteriet had been built. How the venture would be received was uncertain on our part, but we were welcomed with great joy over our newly established store. Today, our clientele is broad, both local residents and customers from Umeå and its surrounding municipalities. We also collaborate with well-established restaurants in Umeå. Bodegan, Köksbaren, Gotthards krog and Le Garage.
