Kalalahti means “Fish Bay” in Finnish. A nod to the origins of my know-how, inspired by my regular stays in Finland from 2012 to 2022. It was in Southern Savonia, in the region of Lake Saimaa, that I discovered and learned the ancestral techniques of hot smoking fish with alder wood.
Having settled in Biganos in 2017, I visited the local sturgeon farms and immediately imagined my new project: applying this traditional Nordic method to this exceptional local resource, the sturgeon. I then created my own artisanal smokehouse, directly on my land, and started experimenting.
At the end of 2020, I will be showcasing my creations at the markets of the Arcachon Basin. Word of mouth soon spread: chefs, restaurateurs and institutions praised the quality of my work. Kalalahti quickly became a partner of the Bassin d’Arcachon brand.
The beginning of 2021 marks a turning point: the Kalalahti adventure takes off and is now aimed at gourmet restaurants and exceptional caterers.
