Swedish seafood through the year: what is in season when

Our selection follows the weekly catch, so what you find in the shop changes through the year. Here are the seasons worth knowing.

Late summer: crayfish (August to September)

Swedish crayfish are the star of the kräftskiva, the crayfish party. Our crayfish are available from August to the end of September.

Autumn: Swedish lobster

The Swedish lobster fishery opens on the first Monday after 20 September at 07:00. Recreational fishing ends on 30 November; professional fishermen may fish a little longer. It is a short season, so Swedish lobster is a real autumn treat. Read how it compares in Swedish or Canadian lobster?

From November: halibut

Halibut is available year-round, and its prime season starts in November.

All year: fish, shrimps, herring and roe

Many favourites are part of the weekly selection nearly all year: fresh fish fillets, cooked shrimps, herring, gravlax and Kalix löjrom. Exact availability depends on the catch and the supplier, so check the shop for the current week.
