We have been providing seaweed expeditions since 2014. This is an introductory course where you learn to identify and harvest about 10 different species of seaweed sustainably, how they should be dried, stored, what they contain and of course how they should be used in cooking.
We teach how to forage in a kind way. If you do not want to swim you can sit on a cliff and cut seaweed at the water's edge or just watch and listen. You can rent a wetsuite from us for 200 sek. Please inform us what size, see sizes here.

Coastal foraging is a summer experience with exciting flavours and knowledge in a unique environment in northern Bohuslän. During the walk to the sea, we taste beach plants such as campion, violet and sea aster. If we spot clams and oysters, we’ll take a closer look at them too.
Once we've reached a granite rock, we jump into the water with cyclops and snorkels to admire and explore the seaweed. You will learn which species are good to eat, what they contain, how they are harvested in a gentle way and cooked. You then join in and cook a lunch that contains the seaweed we picked. Max 4-5 people. This event also suits children.
