Nordic Seafood

Seafood in Sweden is really good and I highly recommend it. This was not because of the way it is cooked but more because of how fresh it is and also because they are caught in the wild in the nordic seas. You would not get the sambal, chilli or pepper crab, etc. you get in Singapore. The seafood is cooked very plainly as with most food in sweden. If you can fine tune your taste buds to enjoy the subtle taste, you will love the freshness of the food sweden has to offer.

The cold sea water for some reason has some part to play. I read in wikipedia that the cold water only allows ceertain breeds of wild shrimps to survive and you don't find any jumbo tiger shrimps here. The shrimps in Sweden were kinda small but very chewy and slightly sweet. As you can see some semi-devoured examples of the sea food. The shell comes out easily coupled with meat that is a little tough, peeling the shrimp is a simple affair.

Above, you can see a seafood salad with pasta (made specially on my request) with some white fish, shrimps, crayfish, oyster, etc. and Mariestad, my fave Swedish beer in Gothenburg.
