Origin

Patreksfjörður is a small fishing village with 650 inhabitants. The cliffs east of the village, Látrabjarg, is known for its colonies of auks, puffins and other sea birds. A little further out is Bjargtangar, the most western point of Iceland and Europe.

Fish with a story

Cod fisherman Thorsteinn ships out about 200 days a year. That’s why leisure time with his family is of extra value to him: ‘I love seeing that my son is also interested in fishing and enjoys it as much as I do. I hope that through him I can pass on cod fishing to future generations.’

Fishing method

The cod fishermen in Iceland make use of longline fishing. They throw a long, thin cable with small sidelines with hooks and bait from the back of their boat.

The risky part of this method is that other animals than cod can get caught in the lines. MSC-certified longline fisheries prevent this by making the lines heavier, by using so-called scarecrow-lines to keep sea birds away and/or by only fishing at set times. This way they prevent interaction with other animals.
