Dried cod fish on a Hjell (an outdoor rack) - a common sight in Northern Norway

Preserving fish has been an important task for Norwegians for centuries. Only a few decades ago the country was quite poor and people had to come up with ways to preserve the fish for further consumption or for transporting it farther into the country.
One of the ways to do that is to dry it on special racks for three months in Spring.
