Cultural Context

Norwegian Dried Cod, or Klippfisk, has its roots in the coastal fishing communities of Norway, where cod was preserved by drying and salting to withstand long winters. This traditional method of preservation is a testament to the ingenuity of the Norwegians, allowing them to enjoy fish year-round. Today, Klippfisk is celebrated not only in Norway but also in various cultures around the world, particularly in Portugal and the Caribbean, where it is incorporated into local dishes.
