Investment firm Hawk Seafood has flown under the radar since its founding two years ago, but the group is ready to step out of the shadows and move deeper into the sector.

The Norway-based company plans to build a portfolio of up to six seafood companies within the next few years, and talks are already underway with potential candidates, the executives behind the group told IntraFish.

And unlike other investors that are turning their attention toward equipment and suppliers to the seafood sector, Hawk's strategy is to invest in seafood-producing companies.
