Cod Fishing
Follow in our ancestors’ footsteps and fish the cool waters of the North Atlantic.
Cod fishing has played an essential role in Fogo Island’s economy for centuries and continues to influence the island’s traditions and way of life. Set out with a local fisher, learning techniques that were passed down from generation to generation. Try your hand at cod-jigging (handline fishing) and bring back your bounty for a true taste of Newfoundland.
