Lobster in Bohuslän The lobster premiere takes place on the first Monday after the 20th September. And fishing for lobster is then allowed until the 30th April. The species of lobster, a crustacean, first appeared about 300 million years ago. At about the same time as the dinosaurs. Lobsters are probably right-handed, i.e. their right claw is stronger and much more developed than the left. With its right claw, the lobster crushes clams, crabs and sea-urchins that make up its main diet. Lobsters sometimes even eat members of their own species. The lobster’s shell contains a number of colour pigments, two of which are blue and red. The shell is black before cooking, when it gets its tempting red colour. The odd lobster gets the chance to celebrate its fiftieth birthday. The growth rate varies and a portion-sized lobster can be anything from three to ten years old.

Cycling

Mountainbiking is increasing in popularity in Sweden, on all levels, as is cycling in general. West Sweden has relaxing rides, for instance along the Göta Canal, but there are also more demanding routes through forests, on trails and asphalt, as well as cycling by the sea and the cliffs of Bohuslän. In proximity to our bike paths you’ll find nature, culture, fine cuisine and good accommodation.
