Cod

Codfish is caught in the whole North sea, greenness country, Iceland, Canada, Baltic sea and the Barents sea. The cod fish in the middle of the North sea is green with pale brown spots. In the more northern parts (Barents sea) you'll see that the cod is more red ochre and blank around the abdomen. The cod from the Baltic sea is almost entirely black. The taste of the fish is very different per catching area. The best taste is the cod of the North sea and the species around the Lofoten. These are called skrei.
