Norway exports of cod, including dried fish, salted fish and stockfish, 718 million in August. This is 20 per cent less than the same month last year.

It has been a cheap and cheerful British favourite for more than a century – but now the price of fish and chips is soaring.

U.S. restaurants will soon be sporting menus, counter cards and other materials with a new vintage Alaska cod logo.

Commercial fishing for cod in most of the Baltic Sea has been banned until the end of the year following a directive from the European Commission.
