Cod Fish 101





Nothing tells a story like the eyewitnesses who were there. Old-timers in New England's commercial cod fishery don't want us to forget how we arrived where we are today. These "old salts" remember vastly different conditions in the fishing industry just a few decades ago. In the words of one of them, "it was the most fantastic fishery I ever saw." Since then, overfishing—catching fish faster than they can reproduce—continues to deplete 10 of our dinner-time favorites, including Atlantic cod.

Proud: Lucky angler Marten Hvam has recently broken the record for the biggest cod caught in Europe, with a specimen that measured 4ft 9ins long and tipped the scales at 91lbs 15ozs
