Christoffers Fishcake recipe: 1600g fish (50/50 cod and haddock) 8dl cream and milk (half of each) 20g salt Approx 0.6dl flour (originally potato but plain flour works as well) Mix it all and pan sear! Enjoy ♡

[@jamiehoward3151]

I love fresh fish. Now I'm hungry 😕 I live in Georgia, USA, and when we go fishing it's nothing like your fishing. Anyway, we love to fish at the lake and then fry them up and enjoy. I absolutely love the ocean and seeing the whales, they're beautiful 😍

I’m from Alaska, USA and living off the land is a huge part of our life. We hung, fish and forage for berries and mushrooms. Our freezer is full of salmon and caribou, even a little moose we got from a friend. Beekeeping for honey and gardening are also popular but just not my thing. We use every part of the animal and treat it very respectfully when we harvest it.

[@theloverlyladylo9158]

Watching Cecilia’s videos always make me want to move to Svalbard. I keep having to remind myself that 1) I’m not outdoorsy, 2) I don’t like being cold, and 3) I get hardcore SAD. Now I can add reason 4 why not everyone should live on Svalbard: I’m allergic to fish.

[@alejandromacias7609]

You just need the right company to not mind the cold and not get hardcore sad. 😜

[@valentinatodero6748]

Is a very responsible fishing, smaller fishes are released, the quantity is only what is necessary to pass the winter and has a positive impact on the environment as you rely less from food coming mainland.

What an adventure today! I’m a vegan, but can appreciate sourcing your own food locally. And Christoffer does a wonderful job cooking. Extra kudos for the shot you got near the end of the boat trip of the mountain reflected in Christoffer’s image!

[@miaowmail]

Fellow vegan here! I don’t like hunting or fishing but it’s certainly preferable to getting fish and meat from supermarkets and what happens to the animals before they get there.

[@todayiglowup4286]

tbh i dont think its realistic being a vegan when u live in a place so remote

[@miaowmail]

@@todayiglowup4286 I would find a way. As you can see from Ceilia's videos they have oatly (oat milk) there in the supermarket so they probably have a whole host of other vegan products as well. I have seen reviews from other vegan travellers on Happy Cow (app for vegan restaurants) that the restaurant in Svalbard will customise the curry for you to make it vegan so you can even eat out there. This isn't a comment about converting anyone to veganism, just saying what I would do. I wouldn't live in Svalbard as they don't allow cats and my cats are my family members, but I could do Tromso. TBH I've been to places in England (my country) that don't even have any plant milk - Longyearbyen seems better stocked up than that!

[@markuserikssen]

Such an interesting video again, Cecilia! I was wondering if the island could produce more food if they had their own greenhouses? In Iceland they also have plenty of them.

[@magnusb6311]

Actually, they could start micro farms. Inside with UV ligths, can produce a lot of vegetables. Problem is, not sure how it works legally to transport dirt there.

[@mareike2802]

but in Iceland they have energy from Volcanos or like hot springs so I don’t think it’s sustainable on Svalbard you don’t even have light in winter in the arctic

[@allie1313]

Former Arctic farmer in Longyearbyen, there is very little incentive on the island for these microfarms. We grew microgreens and herbs (tried other crops too) but it was still cheaper to buy from the mainland, so local businesses are not incentivised to support it. With the current legislation it would be nearly impossible, hopefully a large company such as Hurtigruten can start the conversation again since they are most likely to succeed and be within the governments interests.

[@caram227]

@@allie1313 I’ve always wondered this exact thing, thank you for this response.

[@markuserikssen]

@@mareike2802 I know, I lived there before. But there are more ways to produce clean energy, from windmills, water movement, etc. But maybe it's harder because Svalbard has a low population. I saw that the university in Svalbard is doing research about geothermal energy, so maybe there are more possibilities in the future.

Christoffer is one of those natural chefs, so relaxing to watch him. Have a beautiful week in Svalbard!

I love eating fresh fish! I grew up near the ocean in many different places so fishing was part of life. Christoffer’s cooking makes me so hungry! Looks delicious. And as always your photography skills make everything look even more enticing,Cecelia!

[@KingOfFvckingEverything]

Same here. The big difference to me is to see that beautiful clean, clear and icy cold water to fish in… wow. The dish up that far can hardly have any diseases right? I’m thinking similar to Ciguatera which is common is warmer water. Interesting also to see their set up, using winches. I inky use winches for cray pots because they’re so heavy. Always in a rid and feel otherwise because we don’t get those massive fish (we fish for black and blue Marlins however that’s a sport only and they’re all released. Surely they have automatic winches to use to drag up the bigger fish, like what the neighboring boat caught?? Or do they “just” winch them up using their own muscles?? Or gaff them?? Looks so easy to drop a fish otherwise. Are the boats layouts like that because of the danger of polar bears suddenly coming onboard? It doesn’t look like the easiest way to fish, and also a risk of getting lines caught around the props. Would be so cool if Christopher had a fishing / cooking channel (unless Cecilia is interested in it).

[@katesterly547]

Thank you so much for taking us fishing with you. I love to see the different types of fish that people can catch in the different parts of the world. And let's hope it never comes to not being able to get food shipped in. Be well, stay safe, catch lots of fish, love from Texas.

I'm surprised no one is growing leafy greens indoors or anything hydroponically.
