Torsk på torsk

Torsk på torsk means ”hooked on cod”. The cod has been gone in the Stockholm archipelago since the 90:s, due to too heavy fishing by the commercial fishing fleet and lack of bottoms with enough oxygen for the fish to reproduce. However, it seems that things are moving in the right direction and as fishing quotas has been brought down and projects to improve the environment has been initiated, rumors said that the cod is slowly making it back to the Stockholm archipelago.

Fishsson went out to find out if this was the case. And it was! Fishing with heavy jigs we caught 3 cods. 2 were released and one was later on released in the frying pan, as it was the first cod to be caught in the Fishsson era of cod fishing in Stockholm. It was prepared with fresh shrimp, eggs, horseradish and browned butter.
