There are a lot of different species of fish in the sea
that you can cook and eat
My favourite is cod
It's finally time for Tobbe and I to do a food fight on cod
we've done a few food fights before
mostly on perch or salmon
But now we've, travelled 2000km
and arrived in the northern part of Norwat
with high mountains, cold weather and rain
But this is where the best cods swim
We've swapped our outdoor kitchen for this professional kitchen
we've got some great conditions to cook the best meal we could
Tobbe is in big trouble
It's something huge down there Tobbe
Edvin is a bit to cocky
Everyone knows that cod is my spciality
They call me Cod Tobbe for a reason
But first we'll read some of your comments
Haxanshus want us to do a food fight for pike next time
It'll be hard to catch a pike where we are right now
But maybe some other time we will
Algis doesn't like my pronounciation of the word cod
I can say whatever I want
Malte Mustang want us to say hello
So hello to you Malte Mustang
Now we're heading out there and catch some cod
This food fight is deadly serious
I've done some research for the best recipe for cod
During the last 12 months back home
and also did som test cooking
It's not easy to beat Tobbe when it comes down to cod
You need to catch the best fish aswell
with firm meat and not cod with worms in it
I need a good Skrei Cod
You might wonder what Skrei cod is
You might've read it on a menu
Skrei cod is almost like a regular cod with some differences
It's the same species but
the Skrei Cod lives far out in the sea during most of the year
besides now when the come in here to mate
It's the only time when we can catch them
They swim all their life
which make their meat extra good
You can catch these Skrei Cods from january to April
One small catch going up here to Norway this time of year
the weather!
It can be extremely windy with big waves
And often the fishing is better far out in the sea
We're here with Catch fishing trips at camp Steinfjord
We have a few spots that are really good even close to shore
even if it's windy out there
our plan for today is to head out as far as possible
If it's to windy we'll head back in and fish closer to shore
The most fun will be to beat Edvin in this food fight
It's time to jump in the boat and catch the best cod
We're just outside the fjord now
and found a good shallower spot where we thing the fish are
we're gonna be driving around and look for fish on the sonar
It's bumpy today
We found a lot of fish here
first try for Skrei cod now
I'm gonna fish with. a tail that I've developed myself
I think it will work for cod
especially cod to eat
I got one straight away
- it's easy when you find them - what a strike!
- you had one? - yeah, so hard
Fish for 2 minutes and then we have fish
No I lost it!
No food for Edvin
I'm already hungry
Here it comes
It's a really nice Skrei Cod
a perfect size to eat
this is almost 2-3 meals
maybe 3kg
No need to be bigger to get really nice cod filets
Unhook this one
You need to empty them from blood straight away
I'll use my knife from Morakniv
This one actually floats
No worries if I drop it
We'll do like this
I'll do a cut here, and it's blood will run out
This is my tray now, Edvin can have his own
I'm loosing all my fish
It's me in a nutshell always unlucky at first
But then
Tobbe is LT, Lucky Tobbe
If I'm gonna beat Edvin this time I need a few cods
To see which one is the best
Big one!
What the?
- Is it a halibut? - could be
I think it's a halibut
No points for that one
But fun to catch them
- I think it's a fish - me too
- smart comment huh? - yeah you are so smart
It just runs again
It can't be a cod
Must be a halibut
A good thing that Tobbe get tired from fishing halibuts
To not be able to catch the real good cod ones
I really hope it's a halibut
I had something on
here it comes Edvin
- what is it? - I don't know
here it comes
It's a big cod!
- is it? - no a halibut
a nice one
Let's see if we can grab it
- come on Edvin - I'm trying
it's not that easy
I got it!
It's so heavy
- nice one Tobbe - thanks
See how far out the lure is?
like that
a halibut like this is a great fish to eat
But in February they are not allowed to catch and take home
they are not allowed until April 1st
So this one needs to go back
Even though I really would've wanted to eat this one
I need to do something now
I will have to change lure
and try something completely different
look at this one, a squid
looks really cool with these tentacles
The cod will like this one
down it goes
It smells like Skrei now
This is the life, be in the boat and fish for cod
and look at this scenery
the sun is out and the mountains are filled with snow
Almost feels like a movie
I got one now!
Tobbe!?
It's big!
I think so
I told you, when I catch one it's a big one
no small fish filets for me
This one is big
- what is it? a cod? - biggest of the day
It's a cod
It doesn't run like a halibut
I can see something It's big
something huge down there
- you see that? - I can see
It's just white
last push now
that's not a small one
just get it in the boat now
I got it!
