Stockfish
is gutted, beheaded fish (round, split or fillet)
produced by natural or industrial drying, without
the addition of salt or other additives. 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.
The
drying of food is the world's oldest known preservation
method and dried fish has a storage life of several
years without refrigeration.
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.
Nigerian terms for Stockfish are Kpanla, Okporoko
and Osan
