Sjörök - Karlskrona

I had a very nice salmon salad for lunch with captivating dips and dressings. Flavoured water, tea, and coffee were part of the deal. Also lentils, cucumber, dried corn, potato dips, and bread unlimited. All for 100SEK, very nice!

Tack för ett fantastiskt gott julbord a’ la Corona! Vällagat och välpackat!

Fantastiska musslor och trevlig personal. Vi återkommer.

Trevlig restaurang med bra service. Kan varmt rekommendera ett besök på Sjörök.

What strikes me the most walking into Sjörök Fisk Vin Seasmoke Fish Wine in English is the atmosphere. It feels like a small neighborhood gem that emphasizes the particular marine lifestyle. It 's modern yet warm and inviting, contemporary design yet personal. The white tiled open kitchen and bar is set in perfect contrast to the dining area that has that good balance of number of tables. I often find that many restaurants have too many tables for their capacity, but this felt just right. The dining area overlooks the harbour through large floor to ceiling windows, and even though it 's late winter/early spring, this particular evening overlooking the harbour covered in thick mist was somewhat haunting and absolutely gorgeous. I began my meal with a lobster soup served with scallop dumplings, acidified papaya, and squid mayo. To this the recommended wine Walnut Block Collectables, a Marlborough from New Zealand. The combination of the food and wine absolutely floored me. The soup was rich and salty with so much ocean flavor, together with the tender and soft dumplings and the slightly sweet wine was an absolute homerun! For main I had a white wine poached turbot served with fried dark rye bread, acidified schallots, kale, and Brandade a specific type of potato mixture . In the glass was a Chardonnay, Bourgogne Couvent des Jacobins, from 2015. Sometimes, a Chardonnay can be a bit too sweet and oily on the palate, but this was more acidic without the oily component and a great pairing with the quite meaty and rich turbot. It was another great dish and truly tasty, though it didn 't blow my mind like the starter dish had done. For dessert I opted for a white chocolate mousse with lemon sorbet accompanied by a caffe latte that rounded of the meal quite nicely. All in all, I must say that this place impressed me. From the beautiful decor and dining area, attentive and friendly staff actually, our waiter was extraordinary! , great quality of food with excellent wine pairings, this place is an absolute winner in my book. Also, I 'm rarely able to stay away from meat when going to a restaurant, but when a place is specifically oriented towards fish and practically situated on the water, one has to throw food caution to the wind and I 'm glad I did; because this place is all about fish, and they definitely treat the produce like the gem it is. So to quote the author Douglas Adams: So long, and thanks for all the fish!
