Icelandic cod: carrying the torch for sustainable seafood at the 2016 Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games

The Olympic and Paralympic Games present a great opportunity to forge positive links between sport and the environment. This year, as part of a commitment to sustainability, 100% of the cod served to athletes in the Olympic and Paralympic Village came from Visir, a family-run fishing business in Grindavik, south west Iceland.

It’s not even very expensive.
