Sweden’s Blue Food Revolution

From the clear, cold waters of Sweden’s West Coast to the creative kitchens of Gothenburg, “blue food” is making waves in contemporary Nordic cuisine. The term describes sustainable, nutrient-rich ingredients from the sea—such as seaweed, mussels, oysters, and other farmed or wild marine delicacies—that can help feed a growing world with a lighter climate footprint. As chefs, producers, and foragers embrace this ocean larder, blue food is emerging as both a culinary trend and a forward-looking response to environmental challenges.
