The programme

From the shore at Honningsvåg, the sea water looks icy, but you'll still be excited to get ready to ride the waves like a real local fisherman.
After a short explanation, the boat will set off towards the open sea. Your captain will be beside you, telling you stories that will immerse you even more deeply in this adventure: did you know that king crabs actually come from Alaska?
As the Sarnes fjord gets closer and closer, the landscapes will leave you open mouthed: this is where you will be fishing today. Lower your nets and get ready: a single crab can weigh up to 8 kg!
After your fishing trip, a tasting will plunge you into the authentic local culture. In a nearby village, inside a structure inspired by lavvo tents, the typical shelters of the Sami people, you’ll discover how tasty a king crab cooked in boiling sea water is, just as tradition dictates.
In a warm, intimate environment, every mouthful has the taste of local stories and traditions and is accompanied by the secrets for cooking it to perfection. In the end, you'll understand the real flavor of the link between the local people and the sea.
