Wow! I didn't know they grew there. I last visited in 1958, in
Aalesund. My uncle had a herring seiner and there was a codfish-drying
plant nearby. Whale meat was available in the market, but I don't
think I ever saw a lobster.

BTW, Alf, I am not a native Norwegian, in spite of my name. My father
came to the US in 1929. I was born in New York state.
