The reader is taken into a discussion about cultural and economic
contexts which influence local decisions among buyers and
manufacturers of seafood and how those contexts mutually
influence trade between countries. Chapters investigate the
trading pattern of codfish (Bacalao), between Nordic and Iberian
countries and discuss how business relations are created and
structured. The driving forces behind such patterns and how
business relations become habits which are hard to change, are
revealed through the research presented.
