Food introduction: Since one-third of Norway's land is located in the Arctic Circle, fish and aquatic products are inseparable from the diet. Toppers include smoked salmon, fresh cod, herring and shrimp. The most Norwegian dishes include grilled or pickled salmon (gravat laks), boiled shrimps (reker), cod (torsk), fish soup (fiskesuppe), whale meat (hval) and other seafood.
