EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a colossal codfish, weighing an impressive 70.76 kg (155 lbs), proudly displayed on the Norwegian coast during the late 1890s. The codfish, a common catch in the cold waters of the North Atlantic, was once a significant source of sustenance and medicinal remedies for communities along the coast. In this historical photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, the codfish takes center stage, its massive size a testament to the abundance of marine life in these waters. The codfish's liver, a rich source of essential nutrients, was particularly prized for its health benefits. Cod liver oil, extracted from the liver, was used for centuries to treat various ailments, including rheumatism, arthritis, and vitamin deficiencies. The process of extracting the oil was labor-intensive and required careful handling to ensure the purity of the final product. The liver was first cut into small pieces and then heated in copper kettles. The oil was then skimmed off the top and cooled to solidify. The resulting emulsion, such as Scotts Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, was a valuable commodity in both Europe and North America. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the historical significance of cod liver oil and the role it played in the medical world. It also highlights the importance of sustainable fishing practices, as the codfish was caught using traditional methods and released back into the water after being weighed and measured. Today, cod liver oil remains a popular health supplement, a testament to its enduring appeal and the rich history of its production.
