Southern Europe
Italy
Italy is the historic destination for Norwegian stockfish, and it is the market where the commercial class names still do the work. Buyers here order on the class and the length band, with regional preferences that are stable over decades. Baccalà — salted cod — runs alongside it as a separate trade.
