Domestic use of fish in the northern households

I am a passionate fisherwoman as many of the people in Lapland are. I cannot point to any single reason for this passion but I can evaluate the main importance of this activity.

Here I talk about my personal knowledge, from the special locality of the upper stream of Ivalo River.
