I just love gastronomical traditions. As I live in Sweden I have the fortune of cool waters and long growing seasons for produce to reach optimum ripeness and complexity levels when it comes to flavors and tastes.

A good rule of thumb is to only eat shellfish during months with the letter “R” in the name. So September to April. This applies to Swedish waters, but also other European shellfish are often at their best during this period.

The lobster premiere in Sweden

The lobster premiere in Sweden starts at 07.00 on the first Monday after September 20 each year. This year (2023), therefore, it is September 25 that lobster fishing can start. It means when this article is published right when the starting gun is fired in the fishing harbors of the western part of Sweden.


Indulging in the ultimate culinary delight deserves nothing less than an article that inspires and captivates. Today, we delve into the enchanting world of premium champagne and succulent lobster – a match made in gastronomic heaven.

Picture this: a crystal glass filled with effervescent bubbles slowly rising to the surface, releasing tantalizing aromas of toasted almonds and citrus. As you clink glasses, the delicate glass elegantly captures the rays of sunlight, casting a golden glow upon the table.

In your other hand, you hold a perfectly cooked, buttery lobster tail, boasting vibrant shades of coral and white. This, my friends, is the perfect pairing of luxury and decadence.

Premium Champagne

The crisp and invigorating notes of premium champagne effortlessly complement the inherent sweetness and tender texture of lobster. Both delicacies share a common thread – they are revered as symbols of celebrations and opulence. When these two extraordinary creations come together, they elevate each other to new heights, creating an unparalleled sensory experience.

Let us first explore the allure of premium champagne. Its origins can be traced back to the vineyards of the Champagne region in France, where meticulous craftsmanship meets fertile terroir. Every sip of this sparkling elixir embodies centuries of tradition and expertise. The fine bubbles dancing on your palate awaken your senses, while the complex flavors invite you on a journey of discovery. From the crispness of green apples to the creaminess of brioche, premium champagne is a symphony of taste sensations.
