Most often family and friends gather sometime in August to splurge on this delicious seafood. Alongside with the crayfish most people also eat &#8220;v\u00e4sterbottenpaj&#8221;; a Swedish pie made with a tasteful cheese, drink beer and &#8220;snaps&#8221;. Snaps is flavoured shots made from the liquor aquavit. It&#8217;s tradition to sing short songs called &#8220;snapsvisor&#8221; and toast with your party before drinking the snaps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally the crayfish party is held outdoors, partly because swedes want to seize as much as possible of the Swedish summer weather. But also, because eating crayfish can be a quite messy (and of course fun) activity. As for decorations, crayfish moon-lanterns and silly hats and bibs are a must.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tExperience a traditional Swedish crayfish party at a restaurant\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Are you looking for a restaurant that host crayfish parties in Stockholm? Welcome to us at Sturehof. We have crayfish on the menu basically all throughout August and a bit into September, depending on the year&#8217;s supply of crayfish. But on a specific day we have a traditional Swedish crayfish party.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The annual crayfish party at Sturehof is always held on the second Thursday of August &#8211; a tradition that has been going on since 1995. We only serve fresh, Swedish freshwater crayfish.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t eaten crayfish before, our staff will be happy to show you how it&#8217;s done! Bear in mind that this can be bit of a messy party, so don&#8217;t feel obligated to show up in your nicest outfit.\u00a0<\/p>\n                        \n                            <source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\"\n                                    srcset=\"\"\/>\n                            <source media=\"(max-width: 992px)\"\n                                    srcset=\"\"\/>\n                            <source media=\"(min-width: 993px)\"\n                                    srcset=\"https:\/\/sturehof.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/sturehof-kraftskiva-webb-11.jpg\"\/>\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sturehof.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/sturehof-kraftskiva-webb-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"sturehof-kraftskiva-webb-11\"\/>\n                        \n                        \n                            <source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\"\n                                    srcset=\"\"\/>\n                            <source media=\"(max-width: 992px)\"\n                                    srcset=\"\"\/>\n                            <source media=\"(min-width: 993px)\"\n                                    srcset=\"https:\/\/sturehof.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/sturehof-kraftskiva-webb-5.jpg\"\/>\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sturehof.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/sturehof-kraftskiva-webb-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"sturehof-kraftskiva-webb-5\"\/>\n                        \n                        \n                            <source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\"\n                                    srcset=\"\"\/>\n                            <source media=\"(max-width: 992px)\"\n                                    srcset=\"\"\/>\n                            <source media=\"(min-width: 993px)\"\n                                    srcset=\"https:\/\/sturehof.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/sturehof-kraftskiva-webb-3.jpg\"\/>\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sturehof.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/sturehof-kraftskiva-webb-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"sturehof-kraftskiva-webb-3\"\/>\n                        \n            1\/1\n<h3>\n\t\tWe go all in with decorations and live performances \n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>We go all in on decorations!
