Norwegian seas contain the greatest cod stock in the world. a vast fishery that has provided food and traded products for thousands of years, not only allowing people to survive along the coast.
The first settlers reached the Norwegian shore eleven thousand years ago. It's reasonable to say that they discovered what they were looking for—a sea of life—while hunting for decent fishing. Since then, cod has been the most valuable resource for Norwegian fisheries because of one species' unusually high abundance.
Norwegian Arctic cod fishing is constrained by the fact that the skrei spawns off the country's northern coast only during a brief period from January to April. The quality of the cod, as well as its highly sought roe and liver, is at its peak during this time. The Northern Norwegian coastal villages and the entire nation depend heavily on this skrei season. Since 1991, Svolvaer in Lofoten has hosted the World Cod Fishing Championship, a significant fishing event and celebration in honor of the cod.
On the dinner table now, Norwegian cod is just as common as it was in the Stone Age. The cod's meat is white in color and has a moderate flavor. It goes well with a variety of flavors and side dishes. It might be heavily salted, as in the case of bacalao (dried and salted fish), or mildly salted. Cod can be grilled, roasted, boiled, or eaten raw in sushi. It is quite adaptable. Cod is an excellent choice for the perennially popular fish and chips due to its creamy, flaky texture.
