Innovative Vikings. More than 1000 years ago, the people of Northern Norway discovered how they could preserve the natural wonders of their cold and clear waters. By letting the fish dry outside on wooden racks, they developed a product that is today considered a world-class delicacy. Norway is proud to continue this piece of 9th-century Viking innovation that still delights us today. Throughout history, stockfish has played an essential role for the coastal communities of Northern Norway. It has helped them through hard times and was one their richest sources of protein. They soon discovered it had an economic value, and stockfish became an important export product. Today, stockfish is enjoyed in many different cultures, and its nutritional value and exquisite taste are highly valued.

Stockfish is a natural product, produced without any kind of additives. The weather in winter and spring, with its combination of sun, wind and rain, is the only ingredient necessary to perfect this unique product. Each production year creates its own unique taste and flavour.
