Availability: Year around bounty from the Depths
Our Salties Cod is available year-round, but from October to Easter, something magical happens. As the cod prepare for spawning near the shoreline, the largest individuals emerge from the depths, resulting in dramatically larger and even more flavorful loins during this period. Norwegians call them Skrei Cod, we call them Stor Cod.
