About the experience

The biggest sea fishing event in Northern Norway, The world cod fishing championship, has been happening annually since 1991.

In the depths of the ice-cold Vestfjord swims the answer to an important question: Who will land the largest “skrei”?

“Skrei” is the Norwegian name for cod from the Norwegian-Arctic stock, which migrates from the Barents Sea to the coast during the first half of every year. This fishing period, known as Lofoten fishery, goes on from January to April.

So the question is are you ready for the biggest fishing competition in Norway?
