Hirtshals Fiskeauktion operates a wholesale fish auction in northern Denmark. The operator dates its establishment to 1930. Its Fisketerminal facilities and cooperation with Fiskernes Fiskesortering support reception, sorting and handling within a temperature-controlled chain. Deliveries come from local vessels as well as boats from Norway and Sweden. Hirtshals is a separate trading location from Hanstholm, which is already included in an earlier directory supplement; the two should not be merged simply because both serve the Danish seafood sector.

The observed arrival forecast for 30 October 2026 listed 4,024 kg of fish in total, including 1,741 kg of plaice. These are expected deliveries for one date, not completed sales or annual throughput. Other listed species included cod, haddock, monkfish, hake, whiting, dab, saithe and turbot. Such a forecast can help buyers prepare an enquiry, but actual availability may change when vessels arrive and catches are received. The plaice figure is part of the total and must not be added to it as a separate quantity.

An external news report gives an average price of DKK 32.69/kg for large saithe above 3 kg over 1 January–10 June 2026. It should not be applied to every species, size class or trading day. A price for one size and quality category cannot stand for the value of the entire market's assortment. Buyers seeking a current quotation need the relevant lot description and the applicable sale date.

A prospective purchaser should contact the auction to establish participation, payment and collection arrangements. A useful first enquiry identifies target species, required quantities and the vehicle's planned departure time. We recommend asking how the market expresses size, quality, net weight and packaging, and whether the available lot suits the intended processing or resale use. Suppliers should agree catch notification, reception, sorting and any storage arrangements before delivery. Sending an email should not be assumed to create bidding rights or a confirmed allocation of fish.

International buyers will benefit from a separate calculation of freight, packaging and handling alongside the fish price. Record the collection deadline and the person responsible for releasing the lot. The operator is located at Norgeskajen 7 in Hirtshals and publishes hirfisk@hirfiskauk.dk as its contact email. Keeping forecast supply apart from completed auction results makes the entry more useful for both procurement planning and statistical comparisons.
