Cod Fillet
The Icelandic cod is famous for being one of the best in the world. That’s because it’s bigger than average, has clear white fish meat and is nice and firm.
Origin
Patreksfjörður is a small fishing village with 650 inhabitants. The cliffs east of the village, Látrabjarg, is known for its colonies of auks, puffins and other sea birds. A little further out is Bjargtangar, the most western point of Iceland and Europe.
Fish with a story
Cod fisherman Thorsteinn ships out about 200 days a year. That’s why leisure time with his family is of extra value to him: ‘I love seeing that my son is also interested in fishing and enjoys it as much as I do. I hope that through him I can pass on cod fishing to future generations.’
Fishing method
The cod fishermen in Iceland make use of longline fishing. They throw a long, thin cable with small sidelines with hooks and bait from the back of their boat.
