Visir fish factory in Grindavik. Most of the menial work done here is done by foreign workers. The exception being the one Icelandic woman washing her hands..Contact is: Gunnar Tomasson +354 892 0381..Even though 70 percent of Icelands income is related to fishing, only a few percent of its population is employed in the fishing industry. They have become so successful, wealthy and automated that many Icelanders don't take the time to stop and think about where their wealth came from. The menial jobs are taken by foreign workers. Very few Icelanders work in the fish factories or in other menial labor. In fact when the reveling is done, the same workers show up on the streets to pick up the beer cans to get a little extra money..
