Norwegian Cod – Skrei

Norwegian cod – Skrei is the Norwegian cod (Gadus Morhua) that meets specific quality standards.
It is caught along the coasts of the Lofoten Islands and Vesterålen, where it arrives after having travelled thousands of kilometres from the north, from the Barents Sea. It arrives on the Lofoten Islands and Vesterålen to reproduce, which is why in Norway they call it Valentine’s Fish.

• caught between 1^st of January and 30^th of April
• adult, about 5 years old
• in perfect condition: white flesh (no blood spats), well cleaned on the neck and with skin without nicks or spots
