Seaweed therapy in Trondheim

The storm whips the wave tops into foam, and snowflakes hail sideways over the beach, striking the eyes like tiny, cold pinpricks. It’s March in Trondheim, and the spring weather is at its most inhospitable. However, the whims of the weather don’t seem to bother forager Jim-Andre Stene, as he gathers the various types of seaweed where the water has receded. Year-round, Jim-Andre Stene and his foragers at Trøndelag Sankeri gather wild plants around Trondheim, where nature is abundant with seaweed species, coastal plants, wild berries from the forest, herbs, and mushrooms. He sells the catch to Trondheim restaurants like Fagn and Speilsalen, as well as top restaurants in Oslo, such as three-starred Maaemo.
