Who makes the main brands.

Brivais is made by Brīvais Vilnis, a fish processor at Salacgrīva in northern Latvia that began in 1949 as a fishermen's collective farm. It is one of the owners of the Riga sprats trademark, and its Riga sprats are smoked Baltic sprat in rapeseed oil.

Graal, of Wejherowo in Poland, started as a trading company in 1989 and describes itself as one of the largest producers of fish products in Poland. In 2024 it became part of Lisner, the Poznań fish company.

King Oscar began as the Stavanger Canning Company. It has carried the name and portrait of King Oscar II since 1902 and has belonged to Thai Union Group since 2014.

Formats and case sizes.

Brivais packs its 240g tins twenty-four to a case and its 160g tins thirty-six or forty. The Polish tins from Graal, Lisner, Evra and King Oscar run from 115g to 300g, in cases of twelve to twenty-four. Losos packs most of its tins forty-eight or fifty to a case, and Unica jack mackerel is a 425g tin, twenty-four to a case.

Most snack bags weigh 20g to 52g and come in cases of twenty to fifty. Afroase packs are 50g or 100g, ten or twenty to a case. Northern Fish comes as a 3kg box or as 500g packs in twenties. Every line is listed as ambient.
