In Simrishamn, authorities, the fishing industry, and other actors have set up a tapas buffet featuring the invasive round goby from the Baltic Sea. The fish is being tested as a delicacy in a three-year sustainability project to protect the marine ecosystem. The project leader stresses the need to consume the species for a living sea.

At Marint centrum in Simrishamn, stakeholders in a sustainability project gathered on Monday to discuss the invasive round goby. They set up a full tapas buffet with the fish, which threatens the Baltic Sea ecosystem.

"To have a living sea, we must eat up this fish," says Sofia von Schéele Ekström of Skillinge Fisk-Impex to SVT Nyheter Skåne.

Project leader Hannes Hall states: "Today we have gathered within the project to discuss the round goby and how we can make it commercially viable in the Baltic Sea region."

The fish measures 10 to 17 centimeters and requires machine processing for profitable production, according to von Schéele Ekström. The project runs for three years and tests the fish as a delicacy.
