various: "Baltic herring" Vaxholm Restaurant Tip by Sjalen

You will soon see that herring is a major thing on Vaxholm menus, whether served from a cheap kiosk or at an expensive restaurant with proper lingonberry jam in the harbour. I won't recommend the place where I had this one as it was far from the best I have had but there is a great special herring shop on the way to the Heritage cafe which is fantastic. Sadly, it is forced to close now and again when there is a herring shortage. It is not on its way to extinction by any means (which can be seen from the price) but there is still less of it these days and particularly in late summer.

Comparison: about average
Price: less than US$10
