Røst

Rost (Røst) is best known in Nordland for its long-established production of stockfish, cod dried naturally on wooden racks. This low, exposed archipelago lies in the Norwegian Sea at the southwestern edge of Lofoten, where open water and maritime weather shape daily life. Fishing remains central to the local economy, while the outlying islands are important nesting grounds for seabirds, including Atlantic puffins. Røst’s stockfish traditions connect the community with markets far beyond northern Norway, and the rack-lined shoreline is a defining local feature.
