Smak Lyngenfjord

Come visit the Lyngenfjord region to taste our local specialities!

In the Lyngenfjord region sami, kvens, and Norwegians live side by side, and the food is naturally influenced by this. Go on excursions like mushroom- and berrypicking, fish salmon in the Reisa reiver, or eat traditional sea sami courses at Senter for Nordlige folk in Manndalen.

If you would like to buy fresh Lyngen shrimps, dried cod, or local siroup og limonade home, we will show you the places you need to visit to get the best råvarene the Lyngenfjord region has to offer.

Bon apetitt!
