White fish grilling in the smoke timber hut

White fish grilling in the smoke timber hut

Kukkola village is known for the way of grilling whitefish. The fish is first put on a stick and then grilled on an open fire. The method was documented for the first time about 500 years ago. The Timber Smoke Hut, one of the oldest buildings in the Kukkola cultural village, is from the 1700s. During the grilling of the fish, you get to hear about the methods of preparing fish as well as fishing culture in Kukkola. We serve 'tunnbröd' (Swedish hard bread) and 'sima' (sweet sparkling brew spiced with lemon and brown sugar) with the grilled whitefish.

A beautiful fishing area on the border between Sweden and Finland. Nice walk and a souvenir shop.
