Antibes 31st July 2025
WE'RE HALF BACK!
Since our last newsletter we’ve celebrated Midsummer, enjoyed a bit of summer break, and now, at last, one of us is back! The webshop is running again and shipments are rolling in. The other half returns in the middle of next week with long-awaited restocks. The baking schedule will resume from 12th August, if we are lucky, there may be some cinnamon rolls already from Friday 8th August.
IT’S SOON AUGUST – CRAYFISH SEASON!
Get prepared and preorder early to guarantee availability.
Because the frozen crayfish are so bulky we do not have the possibility to stock them in excessive amounts. There are some in stock now for immediate delivery. More will arrive late August/early September. We strongly recommend making an advance order at the latest Friday 8th August 2025.

ON THE WAY IN
When the other half arrives in the middle of next week, he will bring some long-awaited restock. For example tin boxes which keep your crispbreads safe and stylish – fresh, crispy, and ready whenever you are!
There will even be restock of canned game meat, for example a novelty, bear paté, and reindeer hash. As well as the popular green tea with cloudberries. Drinks selection will be completed and expanded. There will also be fresh breads, most probably from Thursday 7th August.
Restock from Sweden is awaited to arrive by 13th August.
BEAR PATÉ
is a convenient and tasty treat for snacking, indulging, and savory pastries.
Ready to eat! Enjoy for example with salted crackers, in sandwich cakes, on bread, for tapas and other appetizers. You can soften the pâté slightly with crème fraîche or similar to make it more spreadable. After that, you can pipe the mixture through a piping bag.
TIME FOR “STINKY FISH”
The official fermented herring premiere (‘surströmmingspremiär’) is on the third Thursday of August, i.e. on 21st August this year.
You’ve definitely seen the viral videos — people opening a can, faces twisted in shock, laughter, and tears. But here’s the truth:
– Surströmming isn’t just a challenge — it’s a Swedish tradition.
– You haven’t truly lived until you’ve tried it at least once!
This legendary fermented herring is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of experience — but one you’ll never forget. Some call it the “world’s smelliest food”… others call it delicious.
Ready to try? Here’s how the Swedes do it:
✅ Open the can outdoors (trust us on this one)
✅ Serve on thin flatbread or crispbread (like tunnbröd)
✅ Add boiled potatoes, chopped onions, and a dollop of sour cream
✅ Pair it with a cold beer or a shot of snaps
✅ Eat with friends — and film the reactions 😄
Whether you’re in it for the flavor or the thrill, surströmming is a bucket list bite.
Important: No postal delivery due to the risk of explosion — pick-up only!
Are you brave enough?
NATIONAL HOLIDAY
