About Skagen

Skagen is a classic Scandinavian dish, originating from Sweden, often enjoyed as an appetizer or light meal. It typically consists of cooked shrimp or prawns mixed with mayonnaise, sour cream or crème fraîche, and seasoned with dill, lemon juice, and occasionally horseradish for a mild kick. Some variations may include a touch of mustard or roe for added flavor. Skagen is traditionally served atop toasted bread or crispbread and garnished with fresh dill, lemon, and sometimes a spoonful of caviar. While the seafood in Skagen is a healthy source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, the dish's richness comes from the mayonnaise and cream components, which contribute significant fat and calorie content. Moderation is key when enjoying Skagen, though its fresh flavors and nutrient-rich ingredients make it a delightful and balanced treat when paired with whole-grain options.
