Skrei

White, light and lean featuring large, smooth flakes & a firm texture.

Delicate, Clean, Fresh

Known as “the Norwegian Miracle,” the name “Skrei” comes from old Norse word for “the wanderer.” Thought to be one of Norway’s first exports, its annual arrival enabled people to inhabit far north areas of Norway when other food wasn’t available. Today, Skrei comes from one of the world’s largest and most sustainably managed cod stocks. Only 10% of over 400 million migrating cod are caught and branded Skrei. In Norway, it’s also known as the “Valentine’s Fish” as a Skrei has prepared its whole life to make the journey to meet its mate at the spawning grounds where it’s caught. To be certified Skrei, Norwegian cod must be caught, packed and processed in accordance with Skrei's strict quality standard.
