As much emotional baggage fishing has for the UK, I believe there are much deeper cultural roots in Norway tied to fishing. I always remember a Norwegian ad, the 200 kr banknote displays a picture of a cod and Norges Bank made a really funny music video for its introduction [0]. The cultural roots in a much smaller population than the UK makes fishing not only a major industry but a big part of Norway's history and culture, I'm very sure the UK being an island has the same long history on fishing, I just don't feel it's so deeply rooted into the British national identity as it is in Norway.
