    Fishing Skrei in Berlevåg

    Fishing Skrei in Berlevåg in Norway

    Skrei is Norwegian cod at its best!

    Skrei is derived from Old Norse for “the wanderer” - every year millions of skrei come from the Barents Sea to the Norwegian coast to spawn. After years spent growing strong in the feeding grounds of the Barents Sea, Norwegian Atlantic Cod in the prime of life head southward, returning to the Norwegian coast spawning grounds in search of a mate.

    Skrei's spawning migration still forms the basis for our most important seasonal fishery. Normally the season is from January to around April, but this can vary from year to year.

    Skrei is ultra-premium specialty Norwegian Cod treasured the world over for its beautifully white meat, delicate flake, and extraordinary flavor.
