Price Increase for Cod Sep 03, 2014 06:58 UTC Price increase for cod The value of exports of Norwegian codfish in August was NOK 824 million, an increase of NOK 67 million, or 9 per cent, compared to last August. According to figures from the Norwegian Seafood Council, this was accompanied by a decrease in the exported volume of 4 per cent. “An increase in the global demand for raw materials for the production of fillets and clipfish has contributed to pushing the price for cod upwards,” explains Ove Johansen, Branch Manager for Codfish at the Norwegian Seafood Council. The value of exports of frozen fish from Norway in August was NOK 322 million, an increase of NOK 62 million compared to last August. The price for whole frozen cod was 21 per cent higher on average in August compared to the same month last year. The greatest growth was in exports to China, but Great Britain, Poland and Portugal have imported more whole frozen cod this year to date than during the same period last year. The volume of exports of frozen fillets in August totalled NOK 43.2 million, up 12 per cent compared to last August. Exports to Great Britain, which is the largest market for frozen fillets, were down 3 per cent in August. Clipfish exports up The value of exports of Norwegian clipfish in August was NOK 298 million. This is an increase of NOK 25 million compared to last August. Exports in August totalled 8,403 tonnes, down 349 tonnes compared to last August. The value of exports of clipfish made from Atlantic cod was NOK 128 million, down NOK 17 million from last year. The value of exports of Norwegian clipfish made from saithe in August was NOK 130 million. This is an increase of NOK 31 million compared to last August. The largest single market for clipfish in August was Brazil. Exports of clipfish to Brazil totalled NOK 96 million, up NOK 28 million from last August. Good price for salted fish The volume of exports of salted fish, both whole and fillet, in August totalled NOK 22 million, an increase of 25 per cent compared to last August. Measured in volume, exports totalled 690 tonnes, down 50 per cent. Measured in Norwegian crowns, the price increased by 49 per cent. Measured in euros, the price increased by 46 per cent. Portugal is the biggest market for salted fish and bought 67 per cent of all Norwegian salted fish in August. Exports of stockfish down The value of exports of Norwegian stockfish in August was NOK 47 million. This is a decrease of 13 per cent compared to last August. The exported volume dropped from 547 to 504 tonnes, a decrease of 8 per cent. The value of exports of Norwegian cod stockfish from Lofoten in August was NOK 31.2 million, down 21 per cent from last August. Measured in volumes, exports of Norwegian cod stockfish from Lofoten were down 16 per cent, to a total of 318 tonnes. The value of exports of Norwegian cod stockfish from Lofoten in August was NOK 19.6 million, down 27 per cent from last August. The average price in August increased by 0.5 per cent per kilo. Nigeria imported NOK 88.5 million of dried fish, a decrease of 1 per cent. Less fresh fish The value of exports of fresh codfish products from fishing in August was NOK 128 million, down 3 per cent from last August. Measured in volume, total exports of fresh whole cod in August totalled 1,090 tonnes, down 10 per cent from last August. Measured in Norwegian crowns, the price increased in August by 13 per cent, or NOK 2.88. Measured in euros, the increase was 8.6 per cent compared to last August. The value of exports of fresh fillet products totalled NOK 24 million in August, a decrease of NOK 8 million. The price increased by an average of 23 per cent. The Norwegian Seafood Council is a joint marketing organisation for the Norwegian seafood industry and invests NOK 495 million annually in the development of markets for Norwegian seafood products. The council has its head office in Tromsø and offices in thirteen of Norway’s most important seafood markets. The Norwegian seafood industry finances the activities of the council through fees levied on all exports of Norwegian seafood. The Norwegian Seafood Council is a public company owned by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries.

(average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: There was something intangibly magical about Lapland. Maybe it was the midnight sun, the endless rugged tundra, or the welcoming nature of the Sami people. All I know is that there was a true sense of Arctic magic everywhere I went, especially when I met an indigenous Sami family on their reindeer farm. As we explored the farm, they introduced me to their way of life and traditions dating back thousands of years. I was saddened to hear that their ancient culture is under threat from two forces: the construction of an Arctic Railway through Sami territory and Sami youth deviating from their traditional lifestyle. You’ll hear about these challenges as well when you meet with a Sami family on their reindeer farm. In the regions I travel to around the world, the stories of the people who live and work there are the most distinct and poignant experiences. You’ll meet with a local educator in Oslo to hear about July 22, 2011—the harrowing terrorist attack on this city—and their personal account of this day.

  • Optimization of Quality and Yield of Stockfish by End- Drying in Climatic Controlled Storage
    OPTIMIZATION OF QUALITY AND YIELD OF STOCKFISH BY END- DRYING IN CLIMATIC CONTROLLED STORAGE Erlend Indergård (a), Sjurdur Joensen (b), Kristina Norne Widell (a) (a) SINTEF Ocean AS, Seafood Technology Trondheim, 7010, Norway, [email protected] (b) Nofima Marin Tromsø, 9291, Norway, [email protected] ABSTRACT Stockfish is gutted and de-headed unsalted fish, and airdried outdoor by hanging on racks. Cod (Gadus morhua) is the high-quality stockfish product and is dominant in volume. After outdoor drying from March, the stockfish is taken down from the racks in May/June, and normally end-dried in traditional warehouses with open gates to the surrounding air. New warehouses with controlled temperature and humidity has been built, and optimal storage air parameters have been established. Industrial test has been performed over two seasons at seven industrial producers, with comparison of quality and yield at different warehouses. By using controlled temperature at 2-4°C and relative humidity at 88-90%, it was shown that the stockfish quality was higher and the sales weight of this high cost product increased by 5-10%, compared with traditional methods. Another consequence was increase in quality and yield after rehydration, which is beneficial for the customers. Technical aspects of the heat pump system in controlled warehouses is discussed. Keywords: Stockfish, Cod, End-drying, Warehouse, Refrigeration, Heat pump, Quality, Yield. 1. INTRODUCTION Stockfish from Lofoten ('Tørrfisk fra Lofoten'(IGM)) has been an important export food product from Norway since the 10th century, where Italy is the main market. Today, the annual production of stockfish is above 1000 tons.

  • 2015 November
    SONS OF NORWAY BERNT BALCHEN LODGE – PRESIDENT’S MEssAGE The Great Lutefisk Mystery The big day is coming. The day many Norwegian- Americans in the Anchorage area look forward to with eager anticipation. It is the day when they will have an opportunity to eat large quantities of a quivering, gelatinous fish that has a slight chemical taste. That day is November 14 when Bernt Balchen Lodge will serve two VIKING HALL 349-1613 Lutefisk and Lefse Dinners. One dinner will be at 4:00 pm; www.sofnalaska.com the other at 7:00 PM. Not only will there be mass quantities of lutefisk; there will also be mass quantities of eager lutefisk eaters. It is Bernt Balchen Lodges’s most popular annual dinner event. November My question is why? My older brother who was raised in Norway says that to him lutefisk was “mandag’s mat”, something you ate because it was cheap and fit the budget. It wasn’t something 2015 you looked forward to; it was something you dreaded like a dose of cod liver oil. Eva Bilet, one of our long-term presidents and members, who was also raised in Norway felt the same about it as a november child. “It was something you ate because you had to.” To many coastal Norwegians with frequent access to fresh fish it was the last thing they would put on their Holiday menu. But in the old days many interior Norwegians in the upper mountain valleys did not have ready access to fresh fish. What they could get hold of was stockfish (“tørrfisk” in Norwegian).

    Advances in Seafood Byproducts 43 Alaska Sea Grant College Program • AK-SG-03-01, 2003 Utilization of Fish Byproducts in Iceland Sigurjon Arason Icelandic Fisheries Laboratories, and University of Iceland, Department of Food Science, Reykjavik, Iceland Abstract Fisheries are the single most important industry in Iceland, and will con- tinue to play an important role in the economy of Iceland for a long time to come. In 2001 the total catch was around 2 million tons, accounting for 62% of the country’s merchandise exports. The living marine resources are, however, limited and it is important to utilize these resources in a sustainable way. It is also important to maximize their value by produc- ing high-priced products from the raw material, which is currently be- ing used for fish meal or simply discarded. For example, today all cod heads from land-based processing plants are being utilized and lately the freezing trawlers have begun freezing them onboard for processing on shore. Fortunately, most of the byproducts are no longer regarded as waste but are used as raw material for fish processing like roe, liver, mince, viscera, etc. The byproducts from salting, freezing, and canning fresh fish and other processes have different qualities and potentials. Therefore, quality management is important and new technologies are emerging that will allow a new range of products to be made from byproducts which will, for example, benefit the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries worldwide. Introduction The living marine resources in Icelandic waters are the most important natural resources in the country. In 2001, the total catch was around 2 million tons, (Fig.

  • Stockfish (Norway, Portugal) Sea Fish Is a Very Valuable Food, Rich in Protein and Besides It Provides Necessary Iodine. Unfortu
    Stockfish (Norway, Portugal) Sea fish is a very valuable food, rich in protein and besides it provides necessary iodine. Unfortunately fish is very perishable too. To make fish available even on long sea vozages an in the interior of a country, there is a good way known since the Middle Ages. Fish, especially cod, is gutted freshly caught and two are bound together at the tail and hung over wooden racks in the salty sea wind. Because of dehydration the water activity is lowered so fast, that the fish does not perish, but instead becomes hard like a board. In this state the food, now called stockfish, can be stored for a long time and hauled over far distance unharmed. To be eaten the fish has to be watered at least for two days, which increases its volume remarkable by retaking the water lost in drying. The fact, that there are specific recipes with stockfish from differing regions shows, that this protein provider was known and liked everywhere in earlier centuries. Of course stockfish plays a prominent role in the cooking of the most important producing nations, that have been seafaring nations at the same time. Even nowadays stockfish can not be missed in portuguese cooking. Even so far away from the sea like Southern Germany stockfish is uses since old times. Stockfish Franconian (traditionally served on Good Friday) Ingredients (for 4 persons) 1 pair of medium sized stockfish 10 oz of smoked pork belly 4 onions 5 rolls from the day before (half dry toast could work, if there are no German rolls <Semmeln>) 2 eggs butter salt pepper preparation cut stockfish in pieces with a saw an water them in warm, salted water for a week (renew water daily) Pull off the skin from the fish, take out the bones and simmer the fish in salted water for 20 minutes.

  • Preservation of Marine Products by Salting and Drying
    PRESERVATION OF MARINE PRODUCTS BY SALTING AND DRYING by NORYATI ISMAIL (M.Sc., University of Nottingham) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES March 1990 UNIVERSITY OF N.S.W. 2 1 MAk 1991 LIBRARY ABSTRACT Dried, salted morwong, shark and sardine salted in saturated brine at 30°C and dried at different temperatures under ambient RH were prepared. Dried squid was prepared without salting. Salt uptake was very rapid and highest in shark followed by morwong and sardine. Moisture loss was highest in sardine followed by shark and morwong. Squid attained the highest drying rates amongst all the species and at 50°C its rate was the highest followed by shark, morwong and sardine. A drying temperature of 50°C gave a compromise between product quality and drying rates. Lightly salted products were significantly (p < 0.01) prefe^ed in all species. Products dried at lower temperatures were significantly more acceptable (p < 0.01) for shark and sardine but not for morwong and squid. Products salted for 8h (morwong and sardine) 4h (shark) and non-salted (squid) and dried at 50°C were used for storage studies. Storage at 5°C was superior to that at 25°C or 37°C in terms of product appearance, browning, rancidity, moisture loss, product texture and rehydration behaviour. The effects of salting, drying and storage on the protein properties were demonstrated by decreased protein solubility in KCl and SDS + B mercoptoethanol, disappearance and lost intensity of some bands in the IEF pattern of water soluble proteins in all the species.
