Flakstadøya, Lofoten
Flakstadøya, Ramberg, Nordland • Norway Flakstadøya on Lofoten - north of the polar circle we have reached the Lofoten and its farms and dry racks for fish, as the dried cod is "made" here. From the mid 1300s until about 1550 the Hanse hold the monopol on exporting the dryed cod from Norway in return the delivered valuable grain, which after the black death and some years of bad harvest were badly needed. The dryd cod of course was very valuable for the catholic south Europe during the Lenten season and dishes like the famous baccalau are made from it. uuid="F6A34F59-BAB3-4DA2-A3B7-9F212381D000" id="Norway lilleulven.com 20140704_164039_NO_Nordland_Ramberg_Flakstadøya, Lofoten_www.LilleUlven.com.dng Norway Lilleulven.com"
