The adventure will start by us picking you up by boat from the centre of Bergen, and cruising towards our scenic archipelago in the outskirt of the city.
During the cruise you will experience a scenic fjord safari which will take you between islets and reefs. Our final destination will be one of our carefully chosen coves or islets in breathtaking surroundings. Here we will make a bonfire where we will prepare a gastronomic meal. We will bring with us fresh produce and delicacies of the finest quality, such as scallops, clams and crabs. The dishes and produce will vary, but we always serve grilled scallops and our signature shellfish soup. As part of the experience of “fjord cuisines” we will search for periwinkles, shells and seaweed by the shore which we will use as ingredients in the various dishes.
We will prepare various dishes, such as seaweed crisps, an Asian inspired crab dish and a ceviche of scallops. One of our signature dishes is the popular seashell soup. We will adapt the menu based on the participants and the produce available.
Our mission is to teach you how to prepare food in the wild, and what you can make with the ingredients available at hand. We look forward to delivering an unforgettable experience and undoubtedly an eye-opening and unique tasting experience. Depending on the weather conditions there is the possibility of retreating to a cosy and authentic Norwegian boathouse.
The vessel that is used is a Stingray RIB. It is 26 feet and has an outboard engine with 250 hp. The boat is designed to withstand rough weather conditions and waves. The vessel is equipped with comfortable and secure seating, creating a safe and pleasant journey. The RIB is a low open vessel providing a unique experience of being close to the sea.
