Saving our seas it’s up to all of Us. EUROJERSEY supports WWF Italy in growing public awareness with the need to buy responsibly, with a preference for fish products in order to preserve fishing stock of our sea.

 

EVERY FISH TELLS HIS STORY

“They call me bacalhau in Portugal, where salted cod is a very common dish. It has been a staple in Portuguese cuisine since 1497: by salting the codfish, the Portuguese solved one of the toughest problems they were up against at the time: food preservation on long transoceanic voyages”.

 

What I eat
I’m a cold water predator and swim with my mouth open wide to swallow any prey that comes within my reach.

Where I come from
I swim in the waters of Iceland, Norway and the North Sea.

What you can do
Cod may reach 25 years of age and 130 cm in length: because of its longevity, cod reproduces late in life and, as a species, is at high risk of overfishing. Look for the blue MSC label (Marine Stewardship Council).
