Zander from Miekojärvi in Lapland Torne River Valley of Arctic Circle – the world’s northernmost natural zander
The northernmost natural population of zander live in lake Miekojärvi . Zander is known for its good taste, which can be traced to clean water sources, and its diet of vendace and smelt. Also, lake shrimp are part of the zander’s basic diet. We aim to keep zander in our selection all year round. It is fished with fyke nets, fishing nets and rods. The season is year-round. Despite the increasing number of zander in Lake Miekojärvi, the nightless nights still present a challenge for fisherman, as zanders’ eyes are sensitive to light.
Zander is a versatile fish for cooking and is easily deboned. It is brilliant in a frying pan, but is also tasty boiled, steamed, baked, grilled, marinated, smoked and in sushi.
