This 12-inch cod fish stuffed animal features a realistic Atlantic cod design, complete with a mottled green and cream pattern, soft fabric body, and detailed fins. Embroidered on one side of the cod fish is "Newfoundland". Its elongated shape, soft texture, and lightweight construction make it easy to hold, display, or use in the traditional screech in ceremony to become an honourary Newfoundlander!
Attached is a “Kiss the Cod” tag, a nod to the most well-known Newfoundland tradition, it's perfectly suited for use in Screech-In ceremonies. When a real cod fish is unavailable or impractical—such as at indoor venues, travel events, classrooms, or tourism demonstrations—this stuffed version provides a clean, reusable, and accessible alternative. Participants can still take part in the ceremony by holding or kissing the cod, preserving the spirit and fun of the tradition without the logistical challenges of using a real fish. It also makes the perfect screech in keepsake!
Ideal for:
Screech-In ceremonies (especially outside Newfoundland and Labrador)
Tourism operators and cultural events
Gifts and souvenirs with authentic Newfoundland ties
Decorative use in coastal or maritime-themed spaces
A practical and recognizable piece that connects directly to Newfoundland culture while remaining easy to use in a variety of settings.
