The Minister of Fisheries and Sea, Cecilie Myrseth, was in Lisbon to attend the world's largest salted cod seminar. Also, she met Portugal's Secretary of State for Fisheries, Teresa Coelho to discuss fisheries management topics.
According to the Ministry, one-third of the cod of Norway ended up in Portuguese homes and supermarkets in 2023. In more detail, the Portuguese bought Norwegian seafood for nearly NOK 5.3 billion.
Portuguese will continue to consume between four and five tons of cod at Christmas, especially from Norway, estimated the Norwegian Sea Products Council (NSC),.
