Åhus – Yngsjö
Our smokehouse
Sea salt, alder chips and plenty of time.
Owners since 2020
Robin & Linnea
Robin Eriksson and Linnea Lindberg run Rökeriet between Åhus and Yngsjö. We met back in 2012, when we both started working here as teenagers for the previous owner, and our journey together began in earnest on 1 April 2020, when we were handed the keys — a day we will never forget. Because just as we opened the doors, the pandemic hit in full force. It was an intense start, to put it mildly, but with a good deal of stubbornness, long days and wonderful support from you, our guests, we turned the challenge into a flying start.
Real craft and local produce
Our vision has always been perfectly clear: if you are called Rökeriet — the smokehouse — then you had better have a real smoker. It was one of our very first investments. We care deeply about the food culture of Skåne, and we want a visit here to taste the way it used to, in a modern form.
When you eat with us or shop in our store, you can count on this:
Swedish and locally produced: All our meat, poultry and dairy is Swedish, and we work with producers close to home wherever we can. We cook everything ourselves, in our own kitchen.
The flavours of the season: Our menus and our vegetables follow the seasons out here on the plain.
It is the fruit of that work that saw us receive the honour of being named Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Kristianstad in 2021, which gave us even more energy to keep developing this wonderful place.
A meeting place with history
Rökeriet has been a landmark in the district ever since it opened in 1985. In 2025 we celebrated a double anniversary: Rökeriet turned 40, and we marked our first five years as proud owners.
Our aim is for Rökeriet to go on being a living, personal meeting place — for the neighbourhood and for guests who have travelled a long way. Whether you drop in for lunch, take delicacies home from the shop or settle in for dinner in the restaurant, we want you to feel at home.
A very warm welcome to you!
Robin & Linnea, and the team
This is us
We smoke everything ourselves
We smoke everything ourselves on-site — no shortcuts, no fuss, just pure craftsmanship. Salmon from the Faroe Islands, mackerel, herring, shrimp, and much more. Sea salt for the best flavor, and alderwood for a mild but unmistakable. Slow, precise, and flavorful is the obvious way for us.

How we do it
Hand-filleted
Every salmon is filleted by hand before it is salted.
Brine-cured
Sea salt in a brine gives the flavour. Nothing else is needed.
Alder
The smoke comes from alder chips: mild, but impossible to mistake.
Time
Slow and careful. That is the part that cannot be hurried.
Restaurant
In the kitchen
In the kitchen we are constantly looking for new products, from sea and from land. We cook everything from scratch and make no shortcuts on quality. At heart we are a fish restaurant, though there is vegetarian and meat options for those who prefer that— one look at the menu and it is fairly clear where our attention goes.
Awards
We were named Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Kristianstad in 2021. Our Arctic char took silver at the Swedish championships.
