Crayfish - a genuine Småland tradition
Try a genuine Småland tradition – fish for crayfish in crystal clear lakes and enjoy your catch at the equally traditional crayfish party (Kräftskiva), where the delicious shellfish are devoured accompanied by songs and laughter, and perhaps a schnapps or two... Fishing for crayfish in Småland is a real privilege and all waters are privately owned. Some accommodations offer package deals that include both fishing and a crayfish dinner, so you can experience the whole process.
