Lofoten has unique spawning conditions for the skrei, and is the reason for the world&#8217;s largest seasonal fishery here. For centuries, fishermen from Norway&#8217;s long coast have gone to Lofoten to fish. In the history of Lofoten and Norway, the skrei, the Lofoten fishery and the enormous values \u200b\u200bthis has created are central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SKREI in Storv\u00e5gan in Kabelv\u00e5g opens on June 30, 2026. It will function as a national knowledge and culture center dedicated to the skrei, the Lofoten fishery and coastal culture. The center will extend beyond traditional museum operations and offer a holistic experience of the importance of fish for Norway throughout history and into the future.
