The
word STOCKFISH is a loan word from Dutch STOKVIS
= STOK (stick) + VIS (fish).
Possibly referring to the wooden racks on which Stockfish are
traditionally dried.
The
drying of food is the world's oldest known preservation method
and dried fish has a storage life of several years without refrigeration.
Stockfish up for drying in Iceland |
The
climate in Iceland
and northern Norway
is excellent for Stockfish production. Their fishing
grounds are among the purest in the world and the catch
from their waters consistently meets top standards for
purity. Their stockfish is in high demand worldwide
as their seafood is regarded as the best.
Stockfish
is Iceland's oldest export product and for century's
the main one.

During
the drying, about 80% of the water in the fish disappears
retaining all the nutrients from the fresh fish and leaving
it with concentrated taste.
When
the stockfish is ready for shipping it is sorted by quality,
length and weight.
The stockfish is packed in Hessians wrapped bales of 45kg net
so
that air can pass through to keep the fish dry.
