The Black and White gold of the Sea
Those seeking new adventures in lobster season may find a Lobster Safari to be of interest! Or if you are more into oysters, try an Oyster Safari! Oysters from the West coast are known to be some of the best in the world.
Gothenburg and all of the west coast is famous for its exquisite fish and in particular its shellfish, the latter blessed with the rare and delicious flavours that result from maturing slowly in cold North Atlantic waters. Lobster, crab and oysters from all along the coastline are delicacies of supreme class. A visit in the autumn is warmly recommended, when many of the top-notchrestaurants, both classic and avant-garde, highlight their menues with these irresistable beasts.
The first Monday after September 20 marks the start of the lobster season along the Bohuslän coast. On a Lobster Safari, you can travel out to sea, help haul up lobster pots and help prepare your self-sought supper before sitting down to savour it. Several companies offer lobster safaris and this is a unique way to experience the Swedish autumn at its best.
If you want to experience an adventure closer to the shore, oyster fishing might be your thing. In the little town of Grebbestad, you can actually pick your own oysters. Oysters from the west coast rank among the best in the world, this is because they are allowed to grow slowly in cold water. After a lucky fishing tour, enjoy your freshly picked oysters.
