German frozen seafood giant Frosta came out of 2017 with a 7.5 percent increase in sales, reaching €501 million ($618.8 million), in large part thanks to a 50.2 percent increase in frozen fish sales alone.

The company's domestic brand was the primary growth driver, and last year, according to CEO Felix Ahlers, that growth continued, with the extension of the mark into new countries.
