In Norway's remote and icy fishing island of Røst, they even have a name reserved for the heaviest of cod catches: "Portuguese cod," said Pessoa, who, as a former ambassador for the Norwegian Seafood Council, visited the island several times. "They know Portugal will pay the best price for that cod."
