Lobster o’clock
By Nina Bressler
What does 26 September mean to you? Maybe it’s the first day back at work, beginning of a school year or just nother ordinary day. For Fiskahummer.nu, it’s a special date: the beginning of the year’s busy lobster season, when visitors will be invited to join the adventure on the salty seas of Kattegat, to catch the treasured crustacean. Lobster season starts on the first Monday after 20 September every year, but there are plenty of fishing tours and packages available all year round: mackerel, cod, crab and crayfish are popular drafts during the other seasons.

Brokamåla is located outside the small city of Olofström in Blekinge in southern Sweden. It was built traditionally, as it would have been 200 years ago. Today, the estate is a place where people come to enjoy hunt-
