Snapases

Three herrings. Three schnapps. A unique experience.

Experience one of our most appreciated activities, Snapas – a tasteful and atmospheric moment where herring and schnapps take center stage. Here we offer a unique taste experience where tradition meets innovation, and where both taste buds and curiosity get theirs.

During Snapas, you’ll get to taste three creative herring dishes, each of which has been named Herring of the Year in its respective year:

• 2024 – Thyme & cranberry, accompanied by a herbal sillsup with thyme and cranberry
• 2025 – Browned butter, matched with a sillsup flavored with fresh horseradish.
• 2026 – Ceviche, served with a sillsup flavored with lemongrass and ginger.

The schnapps – or sillsuparna as we call them – come from the small-scale Klocktornet Distillery in Ljungskile, known for its artisanal and taste-driven production.

Please note that both herring and snapper varieties may vary depending on the season and availability.

A taste journey through history

Snapas is about more than just food and drink. During the tasting, you will also learn about Klädesholmen’s unique herring history – from the great herring periods of the 16th century to today’s modern herring industry. We also tell you about Salt & Sill’s journey, from idea to award-winning archipelago restaurant and Sweden’s first floating hotel.
