Homemade stockfish

Every March, Støtt secures large quantities of fresh skrei and coastal cod directly from the fishermen. They even have their own purchasing permit from the Norwegian Fishermen’s Sales Organization. After deboning the fish, they hang it on drying racks to dry. After two to three months, it is taken down, and the stockfish is ready to be used.

In the restaurant, they prepare a variety of dishes with stockfish as the main ingredient. The signature dish, stockfish soup, is always in demand among guests. In addition to stockfish, you can also enjoy seafood delicacies such as skrei, halibut, salted cod, “boknafisk,” pollock, and whale meat from Skrova.
