The statue of the Clipfish (salted cod) lady in Kristiansund will tell you that you're in back in this beautiful little town where everybody seems to know everyone. Located right in the centre of town with a spectacular view of the harbour. During early times women and children work drying codfish on the rocks while men do the fishing. There is actually a museum that shows the history of this statue and what it symbolises.
