Swedishness Blog - All about Scandinavian Food

Swedish lobster, known for its distinctively sweet and succulent flavor, is not just a culinary delight but also a cornerstone of festive traditions, particularly during New Year's Eve in Sweden. Hailing from the cold, clear waters of the North Atlantic and the Kattegat sea area, the Swedish lobster, or 'hummare,' is highly prized for its quality and taste.

The tradition of enjoying lobster during this festive time extends beyond mere culinary preference; it's a celebration of Swedish heritage, the bounty of their waters, and the joy of ringing in the New Year with a meal that's as luxurious as it is meaningful.
