What Johs H Giæver AS is known for
Johs H Giæver AS has dried and exported stockfish from Henningsvær since Johannes Holmboe Giæver took over the old trading post in 1868, making it a six-generation family business built on an 1795 foundation. Alongside the fish-drying operation, the company still runs the island's general store - selling groceries, fresh bread and postal services - from buildings German forces spared during WWII for their historic value.
