Oyster tasting

Grebbestad oysters are the best in the world

Oysters are the shellfish that Grebbestad is most associated with and here, without exaggeration, the oysters are world class. The Oyster Academy is based in Grebbestad and is one of Sweden’s largest suppliers of wild-caught oysters. Participants in this activity will meet experts from Grebbestad and listen to stories about “Ostrea Edulis”.

Take the opportunity to learn all about this sensual, salty West Coast delicacy, a dining experience that goes well with a glass of champagne.

It takes at least six years for an oyster to grow to the right size and achieve the best quality. They grow in the clean, cold seawater of Bohuslän, giving them the finest quality and taste in the world.

Oyster tasting at Sjöboden Udden

In connection with our crayfish boils in Sjöboden Udden, we also have oyster tasting. To the oysters and the freshly cooked lobsters, bubbles are served in a wonderfully beautiful archipelago environment. Welcome to drop-in both as a hotel guest and day guest.

We also reserve the right to run out of crayfish and oysters during serving time in case of high demand. We serve high quality fresh oysters and crayfish picked and caught by local fishermen, therefore there may be a few dates per year that we do not receive delivery.

We always have a break from crayfish boils during the summer period from Midsummer to Sunday week 32 and oysters are served again from Oyster Day in September.

Clamping oyster

We buy our oysters from the Klemming family who run the local family business Klemmings Ostron. They dive and pick them wild by hand on Bohuslän oyster beds in the sea outside Grebbestad.

The large older oysters that go to market are thinned out to make room for the smaller ones.

Health benefits of oysters

As well as being good for you to eat, oysters are incredibly valuable for the marine environment. Like mussels, they help reduce eutrophication of the oceans by filtering the water. Eating oysters is healthy. They are high in protein, contain no carbohydrates but are rich in minerals and vitamins. These are known as trace elements, substances that are needed in very small quantities but are essential for human life.

Larger groups and companies

During the rest of the year, we organize kayaking on request for both individuals and companies. The activity is adapted to group size and can be experienced both with and without a guide. Contact us for more information and booking.
