Fishing in Lofoten revolves around cod that thrive in the nutrient-rich waters off Norway’s northern coast. This area benefits from a confluence of currents that support abundant marine life, forming the backbone of the fishing industry. Generations of fishers have developed specialised knowledge and techniques tailored to these open-sea species, reflecting a deep cultural connection to the ocean. Today, sustainable practices and strict regulations help safeguard the region’s marine ecosystems, ensuring that the centuries-long tradition of pelagic fishing in Lofoten can endure for future generations.
