Up in Norway, inside one of the fjords where the vikings used to hang out, a very local food symposium has taken its place over the past 6 years.

And even though this annual happening hasn’t had the attention of the world, it has previously managed to attract the minds of René Redzepi, Heston Blumenthal, Rasmus Kofoed and Magnus Nilsson.

The for non-Scandinavians difficult name to pronounce; “Sjømat på Sørlandet” (Seafood in Southern Norway) has for the past two years collaborated with Bon Vivant on inviting great culinary figures to participate in the growing evolvement of this region that produces a grand variety of pristine products.

Such as culinary explorer Diego Muñoz, Latin America’s Best Female Chef 2016 Kamilla Seidler, Copenhagen caviar prince Jonathan Berntsen of CLOU, as well as facilitating Esben Holmboe Bang of 3*Michelin Maaemo in Oslo.
