Bothnian Bay roe - 500 gr

Bothnian Bay rum from Haparanda.

We are often asked what distinguishes our Swedish Bothnian Bay Rum from the Finnish "Löjrom från Bothnian Bay" (also called Bothnian Bay Löjrom)

The big difference is the production method, which ultimately determines the quality of the rum. Dryness and salinity are other factors that weigh into the final result.

We love customer contact, so if you have any questions about our roe, you are most welcome to contact us :)

Sydfisk & Löjromsexpressen is now the exclusive supplier of Bothnian Bay roe to the private market via e-commerce, something that we are both proud of and grateful for.

With its patented logo, the jars are easy to recognize - in the few places where you can buy them. Bothnian Bay rum has so far been a product for selected wholesalers, court suppliers and Michelin restaurants. Something that we are changing this year!

Every gram that goes through production is carefully monitored by Hannu Tahvanainen, who through his meticulousness has managed to make his loach roe well known among fine society. Bothnian Bay roe is produced from brill from the Northern Gulf of Bothnia, and is of really high quality. In blind tests between different loach roe producers, it is often the Bothnian Bay roe that comes out on top - of course, we let our customers decide for themselves.

In 1986, the production of Bottenviksrom in Luleå began. The high standard that Bottenviksrom has since been a hallmark of in the industry was set at the mouth of the Lule River. In 2012, the Bottenviksrom trademark was registered and in 2014 the famous logo became patent-protected. In 2018, production moved from Luleå to Haparanda, where the factory is now located at the mouth of the Torne River. Fishing is done with trawls and nets in Haparanda and the Torne/Kemi archipelago.

There are plenty of tips on how to best serve your salmon roe. Here we list our own favorites;

· Salmon roe chips Super easy to prepare before guests arrive. Take out a plate and put a bunch of salty chips on it. Pour over some crème fraiche and add a few drops of salmon roe. Done!

· Lobster toast Serve your salmon roe with creamy smetana and finely chopped red onion. Place on a piece of buttered crispy bread – viola – your salmon roe toast is ready!

· Salmon roe pizza Make a homemade pizza and top with crème fraiche, finely chopped red onion, grated parmesan cheese and dill to decorate. You can also add lemon zest for that extra kick. You can find the recipe here here
