THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

It’s fulmar season in the Faroe Islands right now! Fulmars – known as Havshestur – inhabit the cliffs of the Faroe Islands for almost the entire year. The most common method of catching fulmar is to catch the fulmar chicks by boat, using nets in late August and early September – a period when the chicks have just left their nests and are unable to fly yet. Swipe to take a look onboard a boat that caught fulmars last week.  At Ræst, the fulmar meat is marinated in a spiced rub, smoked, and braised. Once coated in Öland tempura, it is deep-fried and served with a small bowl of pickled potatoes and a potato and leek foam, all covered with our “edible moss”.
