Roderick Sloan is a renowned seafood diver based in Northern Norway, known for his exceptional skill in harvesting high-quality shellfish from the icy waters around Nordskot.

Roderick’s work involves hand-collecting sea urchins, scallops, and Icelandic mussels from the seabed. His meticulous attention to detail ensures that the shellfish he harvests are of the highest quality, making them highly sought after by top restaurants worldwide.

His dedication to sustainable and traditional harvesting methods has earned him a loyal clientele, including renowned chefs like René Redzepi of Noma. The shellfish are prized for their exceptional flavor, which is attributed to the pristine, mineral-rich waters of the Arctic.

Despite the harsh winter conditions, Sloan continues to dive, believing that February offers the best visibility underwater due to the cold temperatures inhibiting algae growth. His commitment to his craft and the unique environment of Northern Norway have made him a celebrated figure in the culinary world.

In 2023, Sloan co-founded Dundrun, a premium seafood company, with Johan Sigmundstad. Dundrun is committed to ethical fishing practices and sustainability, focusing on preserving the marine ecosystem and collaborating with local communities. The company has made significant strides in reducing plastic waste by replacing conventional plastic tags with biodegradable Sulapac seafood tags. Dundrun’s dedication to sustainability and high-quality seafood has made it a respected name in the industry.
