Sea food and ice cream

Swedish crabs. Only 550 yen for 4 boiled crabs!
We bought some Swedish crabs for dinner. I was surprised by how cheap they were. Four fairly big crabs cost only 50 Swedish kronor, which is roughly 5 Euro (or 5 dollars, or 550 yen)! In Japan, I paid something like 6000 yen for 2 crabs last time I bought crabs...

My lunch, smoked mackerel

My friends lunch, fish soup


We also had some very nice sea food for lunch.

I ordered ice cream of the size "the Classic", and got this.
Swedish people eat inordinate amounts of ice cream in the summer (and fairly large amounts of ice cream in the winter too), so we had some ice cream before going home too.

Smögen

The bridge to Smögen
We got up with heavy stomachs after the previous day of over eating and decided to go to the nearby fishing village (which is now a more of a tourist village) of Smögen. The buildings there are really cute, they sell very nice sea food, and lots of tourists and people boating around the coast of Sweden come there so there are some shopping and some people watching opportunities too.

There are plenty of old houses in Smögen

There are also plenty of boats in Smögen

Shops aimed at people travelling all over the Swedish coast in their own boats
Shoppers, and their boats

This row of old sheds is pictured in many guide books, so I took a photo too.
