Field trip Sunday 4th of September
The destination of the Field Trip this year is a guided fjord cruise in the Hjelmeland Region and Ryfylke Fjords. We will first visit the Center for Aquaculture Competence at Hundsneset. They are testing out how new promising research will work in a commercial large scale production. After the first visit the boat will take us to Spa Hotel Velvære at Hjelmeland for a wonderful tapas lunch with elements of Norwegian specialties. After a great lunch the boat takes us to the second and last visit; Sterling White Halibut at Kjeurda. The production of Sterling Halibut focus on high quality, and it has become a well known brand among consumers and chefs.
