For nearly 1000 years, dried fish has been exported to Europe from here.

Large cod swim down from the Barents Sea in the middle of the darkest winter, and become known as&nbsp;<em>skrei<\/em>&nbsp;on the way. They reach the western coast of Finnmark and Troms before Christmas and get to Lofoten in January.

It doesn&#8217;t need to be salted or smoked, as the temperature in Lofoten in the winter is just below freezing. The fish does not freeze into pieces, but it doesn&#8217;t rot either. The fish simply dries in the sun and wind from late winter until spring. Then, it is bone dry and easy to transport but still retains its key nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fish-trading\">Fish trading <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trade in stockfish between Lofoten and Europe began in the early 12th century. In the summer, large cargo vessels transported the dried fish to Bergen. The German Hanseatic merchants were waiting, and sold the fish on to the citizens of the thriving cities of northern Europe. Good Catholics eat fish on Fridays, and cod are rich in hearty proteins.<\/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\/b1ed1708c257a47455f5b3c7c5acd13e-1.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\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\/b1ed1708c257a47455f5b3c7c5acd13e-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stockfish have been traded for a long time in Northern Norway \u00a9 Knut Hansvold Lofoten Stockhfish Museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/b1ed1708c257a47455f5b3c7c5acd13e-1.jpg\" data-caption=\"Stockfish have been traded for a long time in Northern Norway \u00a9 Knut Hansvold Lofoten Stockhfish Museum\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/011040.jpg\" data-size=\"1198x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/011040.jpg\" alt=\"For many years this was the most important export in whole of Norway, and it still is one of our hallmarks \u00a9 Steinar Skaar \/ Statens vegvesen\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/011040.jpg\" data-caption=\"For many years this was the most important export in whole of Norway, and it still is one of our hallmarks \u00a9 Steinar Skaar \/ Statens vegvesen\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/nusfjord-pg-2.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/nusfjord-pg-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fishing village in Lofoten\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/nusfjord-pg-2.jpg\" data-caption=\"Fishing village in Lofoten\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Stockfish have been traded for a long time in Northern Norway \u00a9 Knut Hansvold Lofoten Stockhfish Museum<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: For many years this was the most important export in whole of Norway, and it still is one of our hallmarks \u00a9 Steinar Skaar \/ Statens vegvesen<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Fishing village in Lofoten<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cod-prices-cycle\">Cod prices cycle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 14th and 15th centuries, the Lofoten fishermen got very good prices. In the 16th and 17th centuries, competition increased and demand fell, and there were hard times along the coast. In the 19th century, demand increased again, and the coast got a boost that has lasted, with a few interruptions, until today. From the 19th century until around 1940, the Lofoten fishery made up the bulk of revenue for most fishermen in northern Norway. Today, most of the dried fish is exported to Italy, while airborne fresh fish is sold to fine restaurants throughout Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fishermen-from-along-the-coast\">Fishermen from along the coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lofoten fishery was part of the annual rhythm of coastal people from Tr\u00f8ndelag and northwards. After Christmas, fishermen&#8217;s Lofoten chests were packed with dried food, warm clothing and hymnals as they left for Lofoten. They were away from home from January to March\/April, depending on how the fishing went.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\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\/300534595-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1700\">\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\/300534595-2048x1360.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Magnar Jakobsen\/VM i Skreifiske\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/300534595-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"\u00a9 Magnar Jakobsen\/VM i Skreifiske\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/002135_Shigeru-Ohki_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/002135_Shigeru-Ohki_www.nordnorge.com_-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"M\u00f8lja is a mix of cod, cod liver and cod roe, the little thing in the front is a cod&#039;s tongue.

The boys were 14 years old and newly confirmed the first time they went out.

The cod roe was now so developed and coarse, that it could no longer be salted. The fishemen had consequently got paid for their hard work earlier in winter. This meant one could celebrate a little bit. Back then, celebration meant hard liquor. The 25th of March was known as &#8220;den store brennevinsdagen&#8221; &#8211; the Big Booze Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li
