Fish becoming food · 11:02 AM

Yes these are pictures of food soon ready to be exported to southern Europe and Africa. As a delicatesse or as an ingredient in a fish meal.
It`s from the coast of northern Norway and there are fish for hundreds of thousands of dollars in these pictures!

Nice set, I really like the first shot, nice colour in the sky.

roentarre · 02-23-2009, 02:04 PM

Wow, all of the images are stellar. Great depth and impact in all of them.

gawan · 02-23-2009, 02:46 PM

Great photographs and a good documentary!

Thank you so much for commenting in my pictures

Very interesting images. I like them a lot.

I'm curious though, why are they hanging on racks outside like this? Is there a concern that wild animals could come along and eat the fish as they swing in the breeze? What species are they? Does it smell bad?

Thanks for sharing.

I can understand your questions

It`s sort of strange that they`re hanging out in the wild, but this is a process of drying the fish to get them have a particular taste. There are cod, haddock and saithe, among with another species I don`t know the english word to...
There is actually a pre-timed (or what it`s called..?) canon to scare the seagulls and wild animals away. It just make a loud noise, and doesn`t fire any bullets

It smells err... special! It`s a smell and taste you have to get used to livin around these areas

It`s a delicatess, dried cod must be something of the best fish to eat around a firecamp in the summer or as an alternative with beer, instead of chili-nuts

Young kids that try to be urban, hates it, of course!

But as an ex-fisherman I got to like it.

Thanks for the interest by the way!

jeffkpotter · 02-24-2009, 01:08 PM

Very good. I am astonished.

**Heinrich Lohmann** · 02-24-2009, 03:13 PM

Thanks for the images and the commentary.

creampuff · 02-24-2009, 03:38 PM

Excellent in everyway. Well documented and photographed.
I really miss Norwegian goat cheese...

jak442 · 02-24-2009, 05:59 PM

Great set all around. Totaly agree with all that's been said.

JMR · 02-24-2009, 06:35 PM

I like the second and third shots in particular. Reminds me of Corn frames in the Azores, where they hung corn much like the fish are hanging.

Creampuff; thanks for the comment, and -yes- the goat cheese is tasty

JMR, that was a funny comparisation, and I wasn`t aware of this, thanks for sharing

I guess that`s a warmer climate the corn is hung...

Everyone else, thanks a lot for your kind words!

Great series and I really get the feel of the place from these pictures =)

**FuzzyOne** · 02-24-2009, 08:44 PM

4 and 5 are my favorite. I never saw anything like this.
