Smelt fishing in front of the Royal Castle, Stockholm, in the early 1940s. Fishing for smelt in Stockholm’s Ström had been known since at least the medieval times. In 2016, however, this long tradition ended when the last fisherman, known as Stor-Olle, sold his boat. An ancient food tradition for the people of Stockholm is thus gone (photo Lennart af Petersens, courtesy of Stockholm City Museum)
