Boquerones of Kalix Siklöja Whitefish – Liura

Whitefish Boquerones

Hand-filleted and marinated in sea salt, vinegar and rapeseed oil. A simple, pure, and utterly delicious preparation.

In Sweden, whitefish are used for their roe, which makes the famous “Kalix löjrom”, Kalix caviar—a Swedish specialty from the Bothnian archipelago, Kalix being a town in this bay. Liura’s brilliant idea is to prepare these tiny fish, traditionally overlooked, in the style of boquerones.

Their taste combines acidity and mild saltiness, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Perfect on toast, in pintxos, or simply on their own.

Liura is a small-scale Swedish artisan producer located in the forested landscapes of the Dalarna region. It combines local ingredients with traditional techniques from around the world to create high-quality, flavor-rich food products.
