A couple of weeks ago, I had the unique opportunity to see the production chain of Kalix Löjrom. Together with Folke Spegel and Reinhold Andefors from Norrbotten's Coastal Fishermen's Association , I received an in - depth presentation of this exclusive delicacy. From Storöhamn, the largest fishing port in Kalix, I go out to sea. With great knowledge, Folke and Reinhold tell about Siklöjan and I have many questions to ask. A completely incomparable lunch was served in the form of a fish soup gilded with Kalix Löjrom and hard flatbread where jars of Kalix Löjrom were spread on the bread. Another glass of white wine and I was in heaven. An additional delicacy was presented and it was smoked fillets of vendace, magically delicious!
The trip to the sea has a goal, namely to see when it is paired. Two boats go with a net between them and when there is enough fish, you take up the net and empty it in bins on the boat. Once in port, Siklöjan is transported directly to the processing point where they are sorted into males and females and the males also by size. The females are squeezed for roe and the fish then go to the animal feed industry. The males, on the other hand, over 14 cm, are an excellent food fish that is launched large in Sweden. During the fishing period, about 1000 tonnes of vendace are fished and half of these are females. Only 5% of the catch goes to Kalix Löjrom, so it is easy to understand the high price and that it is an exclusive product.
FACTS
Kalix Löjrom is produced from roe from Siklöja which is caught in a limited geographical area in the Norrbotten archipelago. This area is the world's largest brackish water area with a salinity of only about 0.2-0.3 percent. The fresh water of the spring river displaces the salt water in the Gulf of Bothnia. Eight larger rivers and lots of smaller rivers and streams supply fresh water to this part of the Gulf of Bothnia. This makes the water drinkable even for humans. The archipelago with the many islands is a natural playground for Siklöjan where it swims in shoals during the capture period. The vendace is a salmonid and belongs to the smallest in the genus. It thrives in clean, cold and brackish water. It grows quickly and after 2-3 years is about 15-20 cm long. In the autumn, when the cold has come, it is fished with pair trawls (only 35 trawl fishing licenses) and on a smaller scale with anglers (about 20 professional fishermen). The fishing period lasts between around 20 September to the end of October, only 5 weeks per year.
The vendace has special environmental requirements. The play bottom of sand and gravel with a water temp of 1-7 ° C. The salinity of the water must not exceed 0.3 percent. The higher salinity that occurs in other waters within the Gulf of Bothnia, the Bothnian Sea and the Baltic Sea means that Siklöjan cannot spawn or spread in a larger sea area than its current one. What distinguishes vendace in this geographical area from other freshwater species is its food. All forms of freshwater insects are missing in the area. The food consists of planktonic crustaceans and insect larvae and the minerals that accompany the river water into the area. It is the special mix of the elements bromine, strontium, iodine, selenium, molybdenum, barium and lithium, along with a unique ratio between strontium and barium, that makes Kalix Löjrom unique, which is why the EU has granted the Protected Geographical Status for Kalix Löjrom.
The colour of Kalix Löjrom is orange, while roe from freshwater Living Siklöja is yellow. The reason for the difference in colour is the food. Kalix Löjrom has a round mild taste with hints of smooth fish oil and salt. The production of Kalix Löjrom takes place by hand and requires a great deal of knowledge and long experience. Especially the squeezing of the roe requires long experience and is of great importance for the quality. The knowledge about the handling of the roe is in the geographical area due to a long tradition of preparing Kalix Löjrom. All preparation of Kalix Löjrom, such as coarse rinsing, whisking, straining, drying, salting and fine cleaning of Kalix Löjrom, must take place in the geographical area. Landings take place daily and the catch is transported directly to processing plants in the immediate area. Preparation of Kalix roe takes place only on today's catch because the quality and durability of Kalix roe depends on a short handling time.
The size of the roe grains varies during the fishing period of 5 weeks from about 0.8 mm week 1 to 1.3 mm week 5. From a female you can extract two teaspoons of roe. Kalix Löjrom is the first Swedish food to receive the strongest geographical protection of origin in Europe - protected designation of origin (PDO). Kalix Löjrom is in good company with Parma ham and Parmesan cheese.

foreign and domestic? Very strange how that could be so badly misinterpreted. Unless he views all of us as enemies and he's the patriot?
Hope the quiche turned out good. Always looking for a good recipe.
