Grunnurin varð settur á stovn í august 1976 til minnis um Dánjal Niclasen, fyrrverandi stjóra á Fiskasøluni. Dánjal Niclasen teknaði Føroya Fiskasølu í mong ár. Hann var formaður í umboðsnevndini frá byrjanini og var stjóri á Fiskasøluni frá 1958 til 1969. Dánjal Niclasen var altið hugaður fyri, at ungdómurin skuldi fáa holla útbúgving, og tá hann doyði avgjørdi einkjan, Karen, at stovna ein grunn, sum kundi nýtast til at fíggja víðari útbúgving innanfyri føroyska fiskivinnu.

About Faroe Seafood
The Faroe Islands are located Southeast
of Iceland in the middle of the vast North Atlantic Ocean, surrounded
by clean, ice-cold waters, providing ideal conditions for fishery. The
majestic islands which make up the Faroe Islands are actually volcano
tops formed thousands of years ago.
Today the descendants of the Vikings who settled this rough land
still live much the same way as they did hundreds of years ago; raising
sheep and harvesting the bounty of Nature.
