Fishing for Young and Old
Sea fishing is free, while freshwater fishing requires a fishing permit. They say the fish bite well down by the pier! From the pier and harbour in Träslövsläge, you can catch a wide variety of flatfish species. It is not just flounder swimming here, but also dab, plaice, and even the occasional turbot
Fresh Fish, Prawns, and Langoustines
If luck isn’t on your side, you can always pick up fresh fish, prawns, and langoustines (Norway lobster) at the fishmonger or from the fish van. If you fancy langoustines, ask for “lajrhommer”—that’s the word in the local dialect!
Crabbing
Crab fishing is an absolute must in Varberg, and a top tip is to bait your line with mussels!
Fladenbåtarna
Sea angling tours aboard the Fladenbåtarna are immensely popular! They organise deep-sea fishing excursions departing from Varberg out towards Fladen, Lilla Middelgrund, Groves Flak, and other fishing banks across the Kattegat. Common catches include cod, mackerel, wolffish, and ling.
