Saithe

A Unique Variety of Norwegian Fish Quality! 

The saithe shines like silver and tastes like gold. This silvery fish with a darkly-colored back is quite versatile, and quite simply an excellent seafood.  Even though saithe filet are a classic of the Norwegian dinner table, your palate will surely thank you for expanding your saithe horizon. Its pearl-gray meat is firmer than the cod’s, which makes the fish equally suited for cooking, pan-frying, or barbecuing, and you can use it in casseroles, soups, or oven dishes.

The Norwegian saithe differs from other fish in several ways. You can locate saithe in great numbers in the Saltstraumen. The Saltstraumen is the world's strongest tidal current, and it flows across Norway slightly north of the Arctic Circle. 100 billion gallons of water flow through a little opening between the fjord and the limitless open sea twice day, according to the tide. More power and pressure are produced by these natural forces than by any other tidal currents. For practically everyone, swimming across it would be a suicide expedition. The saithe is a strong swimmer and can travel great distances in search of food and spawning areas. It consumes herring, sprat, krill, and other prey during these migrations. Additionally, it produces delectable fish for us humans. In Norwegian waters, more than 300,000 tons of saithe are caught annually.
