Tusk is a species of codfish, with white, juicy meat and a distinctive shellfish taste, due to its natural seabed habitat in the deep fjords of Norway. Because of its texture it has become a sought after fish among Norwegian chefs.

It is usually found at a depth between 200 and 500 metres. The tusk’s natural habitat is on stony bottoms, where it spends its whole life. It matures at 8-10 years of age and spawns off the coast of south and mid-Norway, and in an area between Scotland, the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Spawning occurs between April and August, when the female lays up to 2 million eggs. The larvae live as a pelagic fish until they are approximately 5 cm long, at which point they migrate to the seabed. The tusk can live more than 20 years
