Description
The Lofoten Fishery is the world’s greatest cod fishery. It takes place from January to April and has always been then basis for human settlement in the archipelago. Every year, the cod come down from the Barents Sea to spawn along the North Norwegian coast, particularly in Lofoten where spawning conditions are ideal.
Stockfish is a unique natural product and Lofoten is one of the few places in the world where it is possible to produce it. The fish is gutted and hung out to dry in pairs on the innumerable fish racks found in Lofoten. The aroma of dried cod spreads across the entire archipelago, and they say "you can smell money" when the stockfish is on the racks. Most of it is exported to Italy.
