Sweden to host oyster opening championships by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Travellers exploring the west of Sweden will be able to enjoy some memorable sights when a special event comes to the region this year.

The Nordic Championships in Oyster Opening will be held in Tanumstrand on the Scandinavian country"s west coast - which is famous for its shellfish - from 27 to 29 April.

Holidaymakers can catch flights to Gothenburg and make their way to the destination to watch contestants in a race to open 30 oysters at high speed and present them in an appealing way.

As well as watching the main event, visitors can sample the variety of fresh seafood on offer in the region that produces 90% of Sweden"s wild oysters.

Local fishermen will offer boat tours, while a range of clubs and activities will be available to keep youngsters entertained.

The culinary scene in this part of Scandinavia will receive a boost in May 2012 when 12 more restaurants - including Baldersnas in the Dalsland lake district and Styrso Skaret in Gothenburg - are accredited under the Taste of West Sweden scheme.
