Christoffers Fishcake recipe: 1600g fish (50/50 cod and haddock) 8dl cream and milk (half of each) 20g salt Approx 0.6dl flour (originally potato but plain flour works as well) Mix it all and pan sear! Enjoy ♡
I love fresh fish. Now I'm hungry 😕 I live in Georgia, USA, and when we go fishing it's nothing like your fishing. Anyway, we love to fish at the lake and then fry them up and enjoy. I absolutely love the ocean and seeing the whales, they're beautiful 😍
I’m from Alaska, USA and living off the land is a huge part of our life. We hung, fish and forage for berries and mushrooms. Our freezer is full of salmon and caribou, even a little moose we got from a friend. Beekeeping for honey and gardening are also popular but just not my thing. We use every part of the animal and treat it very respectfully when we harvest it.
@@gwynnmccallan8856 He's really camera-shy, so I doubt it. Maybe you're thinking of one of the videos on this channel where he prepares a meal, cooking channel-style?
Watching Cecilia’s videos always make me want to move to Svalbard. I keep having to remind myself that 1) I’m not outdoorsy, 2) I don’t like being cold, and 3) I get hardcore SAD. Now I can add reason 4 why not everyone should live on Svalbard: I’m allergic to fish.
Is a very responsible fishing, smaller fishes are released, the quantity is only what is necessary to pass the winter and has a positive impact on the environment as you rely less from food coming mainland.
Here in the U.S., states set regulations as to what species can be caught along with a minimum size that can be kept. It's all part of managing the fisheries.
I have been binge watching all of your videos Cecilia (found your channel recently) and it has been amazing. Your lifestyle is such a diffrent from mine (I commute for three hours every day) and rignt now I stare at a big boring skyscraper while eating my tasteless take away lunch in a tiny, way to expensive, apartment. Thanks for letting me, and your other viewers, have a glimpse of the GOOD life. The scenery is amazing at Svalbard (especially the view from your living room) and I have become a big fan of Grim who must be strong contender for the 'happiest dog alive' award.
You Need to START LIVING and STOP EXISTING!! Get the Hell Out of that Over Polluted, Over Crowded, Dirt and Smog Breathing Rat Hole You Live In. Make a LIFE CHANGE Back to Nature. Not Easy, but Make It Your Focus and GET IT DONE!! You, like the rest of us have "One Chance" at this Life. MAKE IT COUNT FOR YOURSELF!!
I absolutely love watching your videos. You and Christoffer truly are blessed with living away from this rat race we are stuck in in America. Thank you for your efforts to teach us your culture on Svalbard and the beauty you portray in your videography.
I love how, in spite of having lived in Svalbard for 7 or 8 years, she gets so excited over EVERYTHING. The weather and the colors of the sky, whales in the bay, all of it! It’s like she’s there for the first time.
I love the whales; I once went on a trip off the Coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and we saw hundreds of whales, as far as you could see all directions, I burst into tears when one jumped up right beside our boat, close enough to reach out and touch it felt, so moved by the experience. Christoffer is one of those natural chefs, so relaxing to watch him. Have a beautiful week in Svalbard!
What an adventure today! I’m a vegan, but can appreciate sourcing your own food locally. And Christoffer does a wonderful job cooking. Extra kudos for the shot you got near the end of the boat trip of the mountain reflected in Christoffer’s image!
Fellow vegan here! I don’t like hunting or fishing but it’s certainly preferable to getting fish and meat from supermarkets and what happens to the animals before they get there.
@@todayiglowup4286 I would find a way. As you can see from Ceilia's videos they have oatly (oat milk) there in the supermarket so they probably have a whole host of other vegan products as well. I have seen reviews from other vegan travellers on Happy Cow (app for vegan restaurants) that the restaurant in Svalbard will customise the curry for you to make it vegan so you can even eat out there. This isn't a comment about converting anyone to veganism, just saying what I would do. I wouldn't live in Svalbard as they don't allow cats and my cats are my family members, but I could do Tromso. TBH I've been to places in England (my country) that don't even have any plant milk - Longyearbyen seems better stocked up than that!
Whilst currently my life has only despair, worry, sadness, depression, etc… this episode of your fishing excursion con Christopher… stocked the freezer, Grim… ahhhh, the best!, beautiful kitchen, y whales!! Thank you para saving me this day! ❤️❤️
Such an interesting video again, Cecilia! I was wondering if the island could produce more food if they had their own greenhouses? In Iceland they also have plenty of them.
Actually, they could start micro farms. Inside with UV ligths, can produce a lot of vegetables. Problem is, not sure how it works legally to transport dirt there.
but in Iceland they have energy from Volcanos or like hot springs so I don’t think it’s sustainable on Svalbard you don’t even have light in winter in the arctic
Former Arctic farmer in Longyearbyen, there is very little incentive on the island for these microfarms. We grew microgreens and herbs (tried other crops too) but it was still cheaper to buy from the mainland, so local businesses are not incentivised to support it. With the current legislation it would be nearly impossible, hopefully a large company such as Hurtigruten can start the conversation again since they are most likely to succeed and be within the governments interests.
@@mareike2802 I know, I lived there before. But there are more ways to produce clean energy, from windmills, water movement, etc. But maybe it's harder because Svalbard has a low population. I saw that the university in Svalbard is doing research about geothermal energy, so maybe there are more possibilities in the future.
I love watching your videos while I take a break for coffee but have never commented before. This was such an outstanding video. I love how simple your life is, and how you both enjoy every moment of what the place you call home brings you.
I love eating fresh fish! I grew up near the ocean in many different places so fishing was part of life. Christoffer’s cooking makes me so hungry! Looks delicious. And as always your photography skills make everything look even more enticing,Cecelia!
Same here. The big difference to me is to see that beautiful clean, clear and icy cold water to fish in… wow. The dish up that far can hardly have any diseases right? I’m thinking similar to Ciguatera which is common is warmer water. Interesting also to see their set up, using winches. I inky use winches for cray pots because they’re so heavy. Always in a rid and feel otherwise because we don’t get those massive fish (we fish for black and blue Marlins however that’s a sport only and they’re all released. Surely they have automatic winches to use to drag up the bigger fish, like what the neighboring boat caught?? Or do they “just” winch them up using their own muscles?? Or gaff them?? Looks so easy to drop a fish otherwise. Are the boats layouts like that because of the danger of polar bears suddenly coming onboard? It doesn’t look like the easiest way to fish, and also a risk of getting lines caught around the props. Would be so cool if Christopher had a fishing / cooking channel (unless Cecilia is interested in it).
That food looks so delish, OMG! Christopher seems to be an amazing cook. I love your videos, you guys are meant for each other. Thanks for sharing. A big hug from Brazil!
Thank you so much for taking us fishing with you. I love to see the different types of fish that people can catch in the different parts of the world. And let's hope it never comes to not being able to get food shipped in. Be well, stay safe, catch lots of fish, love from Texas.
Cecilia your videos just keep getting better and better. They are my mental health break. Love you and keep it up girl because you are so appreciated 💗 💓 💕 💖 💛 ❤️
Oh Thank you for taking me with you! As a child I would go deep sea fishing, though I was motion sick at first, that soon passed, and then the fun! The Beauty of the World never fails to inspire!
After binging your channel, I woke up in the middle of the night and the first thing that came to my mind was "Hi, my name is Cecilia and I live on Svalbard, an Island close to the North Pole"
I am on a binge of your channel, I can't stop watching your videos!! Your footage of the whales was so magical and your view of the ocean from the kitchen is amazing! Grim is so cute too! I also really appreciate your connection to nature and showing us how you live off the land. Greetings from Canada ❤
What I really admire about you is your constantly positive attitude. In every video, I hear you say, “It’s the perfect day! This weather is wonderful!” It’s so encouraging b/c the human nature is to wake up and sort of drag ourselves out of bed and convince ourselves that the day will be great but you really live it which is contagious. Thank you for always be so positive. ❤️
I'm surprised no one is growing leafy greens indoors or anything hydroponically. LED grow light in a grow tent can get you a lot of produce. could help supplement the fish and provide a complete nutrient profile more locally. I love Cod, Haddock, and Pollock so I would be happy eating it year round.
@@wmf831 , can you find a link to that video.? I would like to see the problems they encountered. It must require a high energy generating infrastructure.
Thanks for letting us tag along. Love your jacket. Grimm seemed to enjoy his day and those fish cakes looked yummy. Having a pod of whales in the view was just incredible. Good to see they thrive there and hope there many. Take care
A magic video Cecilia! 😍 Adventures on the boat, glassy pristine waters and delightful views everywhere, a surprise appearance of majestic wild creatures, eco fishing and a tutorial creating the freshest and fluffiest fish cakes ever. I’m in heaven! Thanks for taking us with you, Guys x
Something we do all winter is grow sprouts in jars. It’s easy to order many different types and if stored dry and dark, u can grow them with very little light, (even just inside electric lights),m and the heat inside your house.
This episode was amazing...I loved the fishing, the whales, Cristoffer masterfully filleting fish and cooking up delicious fish cakes I wish I could eat. And of course the ever gorgeous Grimm and Cecelia's infectious excitement for life. You truly translate your zest for life through your videos. 🤩🥰
So enjoyed this video of your fishing expedition. I have to admit, I live vicariously through your videos, because I don’t like being cold, island living is a bit claustrophobic for me, so I get to enjoy these adventures through the two of you. I am amazed at how you and Christopher complement each other’s personalities. Love Mr. Grim too.
Thank you Cecilia for the amazing views and your joyous spirit not to mention the wonderful Cristofer who is just such a calm and chill person and the excited Grimm and loving Fenris.
I love watching you, Christopher and Grimm and your life on Svalbard. You seem such lovely people. You are always upbeat. When I’m feeling blah, your videos are a great distraction 🙏😊
I am new to your channel and I love it. It is absolutely fascinating to see how you live and being invited into your life like friends visiting and sharing your adventures. Originating from South Arica , I cannot get enough of the landscape and how you adapt to make it work. It is completely the opposite to what I was used to growing up (been living in the UK for 20 years) and my furthest venture north was to Oslo! I love to share in your everyday life in such a relaxed manner as if we are there with you! Well done!
It is always so beautiful there everyday. Grim is always excited, so cute. I think fresh fish from the ocean is the best. Thank you for sharing. Your videos are great
I think I can speak for everyone when I say we appreciate Christopher SO much. I know he's a soft spoken fellow on this channel, but we truly do love it when he's apart of the video! Much love from 🇨🇦✨
That was really enjoyable Cecilia to watch !!! That spice drawer was really cool !!! You better watch out some of these woman watching him may come and try and steal him from you...😃😃😃 It was really nice watching him prepping supper and you got know him... All the best to the both of you...❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your day fishing and cooking. Really enjoyed it! Here in Newfoundland we are living on an island serviced by marine and air only. You are much better prepared than we are. While we do grow and farm the land we do rely heavily on marine and trucks to bring goods in and we would certainly not have a 3 month supply as you do!!
Whale watching is a favorite pastime for us living on this island in SE Alaska. 🥰 I never get tired of it. It is especially exciting in the Spring during the herring run. The waters here are teeming with life!
This meal looks amazing! Thank you for the recipe, Christoffer. I think I will try that when I can lay hands on enough fish for a reasonable price (fish and meat is ridiculously expensive here in Switzerland, and the packages are always very small).
So beautiful in Svalbard. I live in Brooklyn NY and I love fishing...actually I caught a cod a few weeks ago. So, this was one of my favorite episodes. Thanks for the amazing content.
I'm a newer subscriber but have been watching your catalog quite a bit. This is one of my favorites so far. Your drone footage above the whale pod was very enjoyable. Thank you for a neat channel!
Great video, Cecilia we love seeing you and Christoffer doing things together. Would love to see more of y'all boating and his cooking. Thanks for creating these.
i was relaxed as I was watching your video, and then...WHALES!!!! OMG!!! That is so. AWESOME!!! Loved watching Christopher prepare the fish and cook. 😍
I've been waiting for a fishing video. I love your Boat Trips Svalbard Playlist and often have it streaming while I'm working. I hope you'll keep adding to it, it is kind of short compared to my other favorite playlist, which is Day in the Life. Love your work!
Thank you Christoffer. I was lovely to see your cooking, I enjoyed the fishing trip too, sustainable food with low shipping is so important, you are wise to avail of any local food source. Thanks for the video.
It is nice to hear from Christopher. It took me a few views to appreciate your channel. The combination of music, photography and daily living is very relaxing to view on a Sunday. Thank you.
Mountain sorrel is common in the tundra of the Arctic. The leaves of mountain sorrel have a fresh acidic taste and are rich in vitamin C, containing about 36 mg/100 m, good info!
Excellent video again Cecilia! I missed seeing you two fishing! Grim thoroughly enjoyed himself and Christoffer cooks a yummy meal. Thank you for sharing your fishing day. Much love to you all🤎🐾🐾
Those flowers that look like little cotton balls are so interesting! I’ve never seen those before and am curious as to what they are! I adore all your videos and sending much love from northern Michigan 💜
I absolutely love your videos. Your life on Svalbard is interesting. Grim is adorable. Chris seems so shy. Please do more videos, I watch so many of your earlier ones because you don't do as many. I almost feel that I am there on your excursions. You, Christopher and Grim are delightful. Keep entertaining us with your many antics. Hi to Christopher and hugs for Grimm and Benris. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a perfect day! Beautiful weather for fishing, sweet Grim, whales! and ending with sweet Chistoffer and his beautiful food. You are one lucky lady, Cecilia!
My. God. The shot you got with Christopher's reflection on top of the cliff side through the window!?!? *chef's kiss* The music you've used also (drone footage of whales) has me fEeLiNg ✨
Oh man! That is some BEAUTIFUL Haddock and Cod! I can't wait to see you guys get Halibut. I used to Halibut fish when I lived in Washington State. It's like pulling car hoods up from the ocean. 🤣😂
A wonderful video. I agree that it would be nice to see more vids with Christopher. I sense that he is shy, but a really genuine heart and a nice guy. If he does not want to be on video, I could understand that. But it’s pretty cool to see a native Norwegian guy doing what he does in Norway.
Potatoe flour can be hard to get around here in my area. We either have to go to a Scandinavian store, which is not near my home or try to get it online. We use to have a Scandinavian store near us years ago but it went out of business. It makes me sad. My grandparents owned a Swedish Bakery, in the village, which is where there were many Scandinavian folks. But, all the business has gone left. My grandparent's bakery was called Sven Bakery. I loved going there as a child. My grandfather use to peddle bread and danish to the local supermarkets. That was so many years ago.
Hi Cecilia, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and can't stop watching! I love the beautiful nature and your wonderful outlook on life. It's been especially helpful this past week since I've been down with covid, and your videos have helped me keep positive through the worst of it, so thank you! Ps. I can't get enough of Grim (and Fenris). 🥰
I'm loving your videos. I first thought why would you live somewhere like that, so far from anywhere, but now I can totally understand it. It's beautiful! The whales, the views, the snow and fresh fish. I think I'd be very happy there. Thankyou for sharing your life. 🙂🐳🐟
It’s on my bucket list to see so many whales one day! Svalbard is truly amazing. Love you videos Cecilia! I look forward to them every weekend :) love from Montreal, Canada!
Hi Christopher, Vietnamese eat the same thing...fish cakes. If you can get your hands on fish sauce, use it instead of salt. Balance the saltiness with a little sugar. The fish sauce will give it more of the umami flavor. Becareful and don't use too much. It can get too salty.
Christoffers Fishcake recipe:
1600g fish (50/50 cod and haddock)
8dl cream and milk (half of each)
20g salt
Approx 0.6dl flour (originally potato but plain flour works as well)
Mix it all and pan sear! Enjoy ♡
I love fresh fish. Now I'm hungry 😕
I live in Georgia, USA, and when we go fishing it's nothing like your fishing. Anyway, we love to fish at the lake and then fry them up and enjoy. I absolutely love the ocean and seeing the whales, they're beautiful 😍
Thank you, I will try it. It looked delicious.
Thank you for the recipe! This is awesome! Need to try this!
They look sooooooooo good!
Thank you for sharing this!
I’m from Alaska, USA and living off the land is a huge part of our life. We hung, fish and forage for berries and mushrooms. Our freezer is full of salmon and caribou, even a little moose we got from a friend. Beekeeping for honey and gardening are also popular but just not my thing. We use every part of the animal and treat it very respectfully when we harvest it.
I believe we would all love to see more of Christopher, boating, fishing and his cooking skills. Does Grim get to enjoy the fish?
Absolutely!

It is always so beautiful there everyday. Grim is always excited, so cute. I think fresh fish from the ocean is the best. Thank you for sharing. Your videos are great
I do love so much when Christopher is more involved in the video process he is such a cool guy so happy for you both🥰.
Love your videos, Cecilia! The life you lead is so joyous and peaceful and at the same time so full of beauty and excitement and freedom ❤
I think I can speak for everyone when I say we appreciate Christopher SO much. I know he's a soft spoken fellow on this channel, but we truly do love it when he's apart of the video! Much love from 🇨🇦✨
That was really enjoyable Cecilia to watch !!!
That spice drawer was really cool !!!
You better watch out some of these woman watching him may come and try and steal him from you...😃😃😃
It was really nice watching him prepping supper and you got know him...
All the best to the both of you...❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your day fishing and cooking. Really enjoyed it! Here in Newfoundland we are living on an island serviced by marine and air only. You are much better prepared than we are. While we do grow and farm the land we do rely heavily on marine and trucks to bring goods in and we would certainly not have a 3 month supply as you do!!
those fish cakes made by Christopher looks amazing! Well done ! Love your content from Seoul,Korea
Whale watching is a favorite pastime for us living on this island in SE Alaska. 🥰 I never get tired of it. It is especially exciting in the Spring during the herring run. The waters here are teeming with life!
The scenery is just breathtaking. Loved seeing the whales and the beautiful ocean. I think this is my favorite video so far!
I like Christopher’s cooking show, clear and simple, zero unnecessary words. 👍👍👍
This meal looks amazing! Thank you for the recipe, Christoffer. I think I will try that when I can lay hands on enough fish for a reasonable price (fish and meat is ridiculously expensive here in Switzerland, and the packages are always very small).
The fish cakes look so good! Cool fancy scale/mixer thingy! Absolutely gorgeous scenery out on the boat!
The quality of your videos and the drone shots are OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!! Thank you for sharing it with us
Awww thank you!
So beautiful in Svalbard. I live in Brooklyn NY and I love fishing...actually I caught a cod a few weeks ago. So, this was one of my favorite episodes. Thanks for the amazing content.
I just love your videos, Cecilia. This one had a perfect music selection too. I’m getting fall vibes and can’t wait to see more!
I'm a newer subscriber but have been watching your catalog quite a bit. This is one of my favorites so far. Your drone footage above the whale pod was very enjoyable. Thank you for a neat channel!
Great video, Cecilia we love seeing you and Christoffer doing things together. Would love to see more of y'all boating and his cooking. Thanks for creating these.
I love you two so much. Hope you have a great fishing season
Wonderful video. Those fish cakes looked so good, thank you for sharing ,more fishing I hope to come and cooking with Christopher xx
i was relaxed as I was watching your video, and then...WHALES!!!! OMG!!! That is so. AWESOME!!!
Loved watching Christopher prepare the fish and cook. 😍
I've been waiting for a fishing video. I love your Boat Trips Svalbard Playlist and often have it streaming while I'm working. I hope you'll keep adding to it, it is kind of short compared to my other favorite playlist, which is Day in the Life. Love your work!
Thank you Christoffer. I was lovely to see your cooking, I enjoyed the fishing trip too, sustainable food with low shipping is so important, you are wise to avail of any local food source. Thanks for the video.
Thanks!
Amo pescar, sos una mujer increíblemente útil que sabe hacer de todo!!
Buenísimos tus videos y tu perro es fabuloso!
Saludos 🇺🇾🧉
Absolutely great video! Love the fishing ("This isn't a big fish" - yes it bloody is :P) and what a day to be out, lovely and calm
My thoughts exactly. I'm thinking that fish is huge! 🤦🏼♀️😂 (Compared to fish I catch in CA)
It is nice to hear from Christopher. It took me a few views to appreciate your channel. The combination of music, photography and daily living is very relaxing to view on a Sunday. Thank you.
Those beautiful Whales, you are so lucky to see them, wonderful video
Mountain sorrel is common in the tundra of the Arctic. The leaves of mountain sorrel have a fresh acidic taste and are rich in vitamin C, containing about 36 mg/100 m, good info!
Whales! Such a beautiful planet.
The cod/ haddock cakes look delicious! Nice job Christopher.
Best,
From another
Christopher.
Music was so beautiful and well timed to everything. Thank you for another great video!
This is the most I've heard Christopher talk. I think he is getting more comfortable in front of the camera.
Excellent video again Cecilia! I missed seeing you two fishing! Grim thoroughly enjoyed himself and Christoffer cooks a yummy meal. Thank you for sharing your fishing day. Much love to you all🤎🐾🐾
Those flowers that look like little cotton balls are so interesting! I’ve never seen those before and am curious as to what they are! I adore all your videos and sending much love from northern Michigan 💜
They look otherworldly!
It's cotton grass and typical in the Svalbard tundra! :)
I absolutely love your videos. Your life on Svalbard is interesting. Grim is adorable. Chris seems so shy. Please do more videos, I watch so many of your earlier ones because you don't do as many. I almost feel that I am there on your excursions. You, Christopher and Grim are delightful. Keep entertaining us with your many antics. Hi to Christopher and hugs for Grimm and Benris. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for taking us along. I wish I could’ve sat at your table and enjoy those wonderful fish cakes, they look delicious
What a perfect day! Beautiful weather for fishing, sweet Grim, whales! and ending with sweet Chistoffer and his beautiful food. You are one lucky lady, Cecilia!
This is what I was waiting for 🥰🥰 hope you are having a great summer Cecilia! I can’t wait to see autumn on Svalbard!💙🧡
You where first
My. God.
The shot you got with Christopher's reflection on top of the cliff side through the window!?!? *chef's kiss*
The music you've used also (drone footage of whales) has me fEeLiNg ✨
Oh man! That is some BEAUTIFUL Haddock and Cod! I can't wait to see you guys get Halibut. I used to Halibut fish when I lived in Washington State. It's like pulling car hoods up from the ocean. 🤣😂
A wonderful video. I agree that it would be nice to see more vids with Christopher. I sense that he is shy, but a really genuine heart and a nice guy. If he does not want to be on video, I could understand that. But it’s pretty cool to see a native Norwegian guy doing what he does in Norway.
Potatoe flour can be hard to get around here in my area. We either have to go to a Scandinavian store, which is not near my home or try to get it online. We use to have a Scandinavian store near us years ago but it went out of business. It makes me sad. My grandparents owned a Swedish Bakery, in the village, which is where there were many Scandinavian folks. But, all the business has gone left. My grandparent's bakery was called Sven Bakery. I loved going there as a child. My grandfather use to peddle bread and danish to the local supermarkets. That was so many years ago.
I love how you guys work together. I love Christopher's vibe. Thanks for showing us your fish cakes!!!
Great video!! Love watching you and Christoffer working and enjoying life together. You make a great team! And those fish cakes look soooo good!!
Also, the light in this video is just gorgeous
Great video. Like the way you editing, narrating, and put sound. As always beautiful, inspiring. Keep posting ❤
Hi Cecilia, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and can't stop watching! I love the beautiful nature and your wonderful outlook on life. It's been especially helpful this past week since I've been down with covid, and your videos have helped me keep positive through the worst of it, so thank you!
Ps. I can't get enough of Grim (and Fenris). 🥰
I'm loving your videos. I first thought why would you live somewhere like that, so far from anywhere, but now I can totally understand it. It's beautiful! The whales, the views, the snow and fresh fish. I think I'd be very happy there. Thankyou for sharing your life. 🙂🐳🐟
You bring us on such wonderful & beautiful treks.
It’s on my bucket list to see so many whales one day! Svalbard is truly amazing. Love you videos Cecilia! I look forward to them every weekend :) love from Montreal, Canada!
Fresh fish is the best! And those fish cakes look amazing, thank you for taking us along today, great video and Drone shot of the whales. Love it!
I think fishing for your own meat in your local fjord is so cool! About as locally sourced and sustainable as you can get.
Hi Christopher, Vietnamese eat the same thing...fish cakes. If you can get your hands on fish sauce, use it instead of salt. Balance the saltiness with a little sugar. The fish sauce will give it more of the umami flavor. Becareful and don't use too much. It can get too salty.
