Boat Trip with Oyster and Mussel Safari
Oyster and mussel farmer Lars Marstone picks us up in Norra Hamnen with his beautiful wooden boat, Signe. Here, we dress in waterproof and safe clothing to protect against the fresh sea breeze. As we glide through the Bohuslän archipelago, Lars shares fascinating stories about the islands we pass and the people who once lived there.
The tales of life in the archipelago provide a unique insight into the area’s rich cultural heritage. Upon reaching one of the oyster banks, we see where the Swedish oyster “Ostrea Edulis” and the Pacific oyster “Crassostrea Gigas” are harvested. We then disembark on Lars’s own island, Kärringholmen, where we taste the freshly harvested delicacies straight from the sea. Lars gives us a practical lesson on how to open oysters, and we get to try it ourselves under his guidance, as he shares his expert knowledge about these fascinating marine creatures.
This is a memorable experience in direct contact with nature, where both your taste buds and curiosity come alive!
The boat departs from the harbor at 12:30, and by 13:00 we arrive at Kärringholmen. Here, we enjoy fresh oysters before being served a delicious mussel lunch, where the mussels are steamed and served with bread, along with water or light beer. Satisfaction is guaranteed!
The entire oyster and mussel tour takes about 3 hours. Back at the hotel, we unwind in our cozy lounge with a warm drink while gazing out over Gullmarsfjorden, reflecting on the day’s experiences.

- Oyster and mussel boat tour to Kärringholmen
