LARGE-SCALE FISHING

As early as 1612, ships from Le Portrieux and Binic were the first in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc to go cod fishing in Newfoundland.
Salted or dried, cod was easy to store and transport. It provided food for the population during the many “lean” (meatless) days imposed by the church.
