Stockfish
Stockfish is fish dried in the fresh air. The head and gut are removed from the fish and it is hung up on a rack to dry in the open air. The drying process is natural and economical. Stockfish is produced along  the coast of North Norway during the winter when the temperature is cold and the air is fresh and clean.

StockfishAfter 3 months of hanging up to dry, the fish is matured, and about 80% of the water has evaporated. Stockfish maintains all the nutritional goodness during the drying process. The nutritional content of 1 kilo of stockfish is the same as about 5 kilos of fresh fish.

Stock fish is one of the richest sources of protein available, about 80%, and in addition it contains rich sources of calcium, iron and vitamin B12. Stockfish is produced from lean fish, mainly from cod, but also ling, tusk, haddock and saithe. Stockfish is especially economical to transport and store, not requiring refrigeration, but only a dry warehouse.

On soaking, the stockfish regains its fresh fish qualities, and gives you a tasty nutritional meal. Anthonisen Seafood supplies stockfish in bales or cartons of standard weight according to customer specifications.

The Anthonisen Brand of stockfish, supplied by Anthonisen Seafood embodies over a 100   years of tradition, stockfish being one of Norway's oldest export products.
