Much of the produce sold in the farm shop comes from the family’s own fishing. The selection includes smoked herring (böckling), smoked whitefish, smoked salmon, onion-marinated herring, and more. Skärså Rökeri is run as a complement to the family’s commercial fishing business, although the processing side of the operation continues to grow and varies with the seasons.
Herring has always been, and remains, the backbone of the fishery. It is caught using gillnets and trawls. During the summer, salmon and whitefish are caught using fixed fish traps. Due to the extensive damage caused by seals, the fishery now uses seal-resistant Push Up traps for this purpose. Other species caught include perch, burbot, and pike.
Fishing has been part of the family’s heritage since the 18th century. Dennis, who now runs the business together with Elenor, follows in the footsteps of several generations of commercial fishermen, including his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and maternal great-grandfather.
