Moving out into the archipelago, we now started some fishing. Meters of nets go into the Baltic every night carefully positioned on fishing reefs well known to us since childhood.. We are now mainly focused on turbut but catch an occational salmon as well. (I certainly will dillcure these tonight) The turbot is cleaned of head and intestines and put as is in the owen at 100 C for an hour to simmer slowly in its own juice. Nothing added. Just that. And served with new potatoes and horseradish butter.. Mmmm mm
This is me early this morning getting a real muscle ace after pulling some hundred of meters of nets out of the sea.
It almost takes a full day to the clean the nets of sea weed..
But at sunset in a 100-year old fishing lodge (that has been handed down in the same family for generations) in the skerries far out in the archipelago , we enjoy a well deserved meal..
The fishing cabin.
A water color I have made of the cabin at the islet.
A great fishing partner on the go!
