Skrei cod is a nomadic fish, meaning ‘skrei’, from Norway. It migrates from the cold waters of the Barents Sea to the islands of Lofoten and Vesteralen to spawn. It is there that it is sustainably caught in the coldest months of the year, between January and March. Their musculature increases due to the long journey, resulting in their distinctive firm, white and lean meat.
