Loimulohi Fire Cooking

Local Activity

In Lapland, some of the best moments happen around a fire.

Loimulohi is one of the most traditional ways to prepare salmon in the north. The fish is fixed to a wooden board and slowly roasted beside an open flame — simple, visual, and deeply rooted in local culture. This isn’t a restaurant dinner or a scheduled food tour. It’s a relaxed moment around the fire, preparing and enjoying salmon the way people here have done for generations.

While the fish slowly cooks, we sit around the fire, share stories, and enjoy the quiet of the wilderness.
