island with a tiny population, surrounded by craggy islands and almost a million seabirds. Winter is hectic, fishing for cod and drying it for the Italian market. Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/rost-is-the-outermost-island-in-norway\">R\u00f8st<\/a> is a place for locals and visitors to relax under the Midnight Sun during the light summer time. Racks for drying cod cover large parts of R\u00f8stlandet island. The Lofoten fishery starts as early as January, when the Northeast Arctic cod (<em>Gadus morhua<\/em>) swims down from the Barents Sea to spawn. Activity from then until April is hectic, with fishing, unloading and hanging.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/002428_Ernst-Furuhatt_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1005\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/002428_Ernst-Furuhatt_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional boats on their way out of Bod\u00f8 harbour, at the National Coastal Gathering in 2016.

The dried fish can be eaten as a snack, but to really bring out the good taste, it must be soaked. If you want to learn more about the process, you can join a tour of the dried fish loft at R\u00f8st. During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.querini.no\/querinifest-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Querinifest<\/a> there are many events with dried fish as a theme. At R\u00f8st you will meet the story of Querini mixed into the the local&#8217;s daily life, and even into several local names, like Querini Pub &amp; Restaurant and the large sport arena Querinihallen.

The performance takes place in spectacular historical premises at R\u00f8st and in Venice, where the premises themselves form a large part of the scenographic expression, which creates a unique experience. With drama, love, longing and longing, the Querini opera tells a moving story about the encounter between two completely different cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/000342_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x1359\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/000342_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Reine, the most beautiful village in Norway, in wintertime.

Nidaros Cathedral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The stock fish; dried cod export laid the economic foundation for Norway to become a separate country. It may have begun as early as 570 to 800 AD. The Pope in Rome contributed to Norwegian fish gaining a huge market. The church decided that one should not eat meat during Lent. At most, Lent covered a third of the year. This gave us enormous opportunities for Norway in markets such as Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal. Eventually, in the 16th century, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/norwegian-jekt-trade-museum-shows-400-years-of-history-from-northern-norways-golden-age\/\">Jekt trade<\/a> took

north&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Author Frank A. Jenssen says that without cod there would have been no Vikings either. Their weapons were not only swords, spears and bows, but also the skreen that the people along the coast had learned to dry in the absence of salt, absolutely essential as a trade item and ship&#8217;s provisions. In the 12th century, King \u00d8ystein built <a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/en\/artikkel\/what-is-the-origin-of-the-iconic-rorbu-cabin\/\">rorbu cabins<\/a> at the state&#8217;s expense. The idea was that the fishermen would get better working conditions, so that they would contribute to increased taxes for the state and the church. These revenues financed the bureaucracy, the Royal house and churches such as the Nidaros Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Nidaros-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"1920x2560\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Nidaros-1536x2048.jpg\" alt=\"The main pilgrimage destination in the north; the Nidaros Cathedral.
