While on a trip to Geiranger, Norway on the side of the road there were rows and rows of dried stockfish hanging by the sea. It takes 16 weeks for the fish to dry usually in February to May. The cod can be stored 6 to 12 months. The climate is perfect for drying fish, with temperatures around 0°C and the perfect balance of wind, sun and rain.
