Norwegian Lobster Fishing
Norwegian lobster fishing with M/S Mira is an experience off Fjällbacka in Bohuslän where you join professional fisherman Ingemar Granqvist out on the waters of Sweden's west coast. You see the entire process up close — how the pots are set, where they are placed and what the sea gives back. The trip takes approximately 2.5–3 hours and costs from 1 000 kr per person. Book online.
The trip takes you to the waters where Ingemar has fished for Norwegian lobster for over thirty years. Every buoy, every shallow and every current has a story. You get to share in it, in real time, while the work goes on around you. This is not a show — it is an ordinary working day at sea, and you are invited to be part of it.
Norwegian lobster fishing differs from freshwater crayfish fishing — here we are after Nephrops norvegicus, the Norway lobster that Sweden's west coast is known for. The fishing is done with pots, a gentle method that preserves the seabed. Book well in advance, especially during peak season.
