Norwegian fishermen raising salmon in fjords in the great outdoors and catching the king of the sea, red king crabs, in the Arctic Ocean Norway, a country located on the Scandinavian Peninsula and with the second longest coastline in the world, is known around the world as a seafood powerhouse. The most famous of these is salmon! Who raises this salmon and how? - Bergen, located on the west coast, is a port city with a long history. Even now, you can easily see freshly caught fresh seafood at the fish market. The most famous thing here is salmon! You can enjoy it in various dishes such as raw fish, smoked fish, and pickled with spices. The success of salmon farming in the 1970s was a major foundation for the country's growth into a salmon powerhouse today. When I visited the fjord where the salmon farm is located in Bergen, I noticed an enormous circle. This is the salmon farm! They are farmed in clear and clean fjords with safe feed and cutting-edge technology. Before they go out to the sea, they are raised in a separate space on land, from spawning to hatching and until they can go to the ocean farm. They are vaccinated according to their growth process and the entire process is strictly managed. When the salmon that have grown healthily are shipped, they are loaded onto a special boat and moved to the processing plant. At this time, hoses are used to quickly move tens of thousands of salmon to minimize stress. Meanwhile, Honningsvåg, located at the northernmost tip of Norway. It is a small village facing the Arctic Ocean, and many of its residents work in the seafood industry. One of them is fisherman Euron, who is from here. In winter, when the night is longer than the day, they go out to the sea to catch red king crabs, braving the cold and darkness. The fishing grounds are right in front of the village. During this time, red king crabs come all the way to the sea in front of the village, making it a golden fishing ground, so there is no need to go far. When I looked at the traps I had set up the day before, they were full of huge red king crabs! But after a while, Mr. Euron sends all but a few red king crabs back to the sea. What on earth is going on? Red king crabs caught in the Arctic Ocean are popular overseas, so most of them are exported. Before they leave for a long journey, they are placed in a tank filled with seawater for 4-5 days to remove stress and maintain the best taste and quality. For Norwegians, the salmon family red king crab is a precious asset that must be passed down from generation to generation. That is why they continue to research and make every effort to continuously produce high-quality seafood. Let’s meet the fishermen who raise salmon and catch red king crabs in the Arctic Ocean. ✔ Program name: Man and the Sea - Fishermen of the Arctic Ocean, Norway ✔ Broadcast date: 2024.02.12 #TVGollaDocumentary #GollaDocumentary #Documentary #ManandtheSea #Sea #Seafood #Fishery #Salmon #KingCrab #Atlantic #ArcticOcean #Glacier #Cold #Winter #SevereCold #Fishing #FullBoat #FishFarm
