Fish tale

A golden redfish is bright red, grows slowly and lives for a long time in the cold sea. It is common off Iceland, whose small team reached the Euro 2016 quarter-finals at their very first big tournament.

Island story

On Futbol Island the golden redfish can be caught at:

  • North Point: A rocky point on the island’s north-west corner, past the DRIP FC Stadium’s north stand. Cold, clear water swirls round the rocks, where big-headed cabezon and long-lived rockfish hide.

Size on the island: 35–100 cm.
