The Codfish Industry
Director:
Year: 1908
Plot: In Catholic countries, where their religion bids the people to fast, that is, to abstain from certain eatables, the codfish is a very welcome and necessary article of food. This film of Great Northern Film Company shows how the codfish is caught in the North Sea, how prepared and eaten. Enormous fishing flotillas go out all over the North Sea, where the codfish is caught. The large firms who are engaged in preparing the codfish for sale, buy up the fish, remove the heads and the inedible parts of the stomach; then the fish is cleaned and piled up in large heaps with dry salt. When the fish is thoroughly salted, it is hung on long poles to be dried. After three months the fish is ready for use and is sent to the south, where the Catholic inhabitants know how to enjoy it. Judging from the expression on the faces of the good friars, it must be quite a treat.—Moving Picture World synopsis
