To whom it concerns,

Over the past several years the Swedish communities of the greater San
Francisco Bay Area have enjoyed a most satisfactory relationship with Mr. Sven Hakansson and his organization the Signal Seafoods, Inc of Beaverton, Oregon.
Having lived in Sweden for many years comparisons can be made to the quality and recipes of "Real Swedish Style Crawfish".

Yes, Mr. Hakansson and his "team" have succeeded in producing the very highest in quality!!!!!!!
Furthermore, the friendliness, greetings, and service reflects an "Espirit de Corps" not encountered in many places; I'm very impressed.

Sven Hakansson:

Thank you very much for the delicious crayfish you supplied for SWEA San Francisco's Crayfish Party last month and the prompt delivery. The crayfish were extra tasty this year with the wonderful dill flavor and they were very much enjoyed by our members.

We look forward to doing business with you again next year.

Sincerely,

Hej Sven,
 
Så här dagen efter måste jag låta dig få veta hur jättegoda kräftorna var.  Dom var goda förra året också men i år bättre och framför allt större.  Även de medlemmar som annars äter ingen eller en kräfta klämde i sig en hel del!  Rekord för många i gruppen.  Så allt gick åt vilket inte hänt förut.
 
Hälsningar,

Hej Sven!

Det gick jätte bra med vår kräftskiva och vi hade det mycket trevligt. Framför allt så har vi aldrig haft så stora, fina och goda kräftor som i år. Du har verkligen gjort ett kanon jobb, kräftorna var super goda och väldigt uppskattade.

 Hör av mig när det blir dags för nästa kräftskiva…

 Hälsningar,

Dear Sven,

Many, many thanks for taking such good care of our needs with last minute arrangements! Everyone loved your crayfish and praised both the taste and the large size. We even had 2 young men from Sweden who said they were better than the ones they had had at home in Sweden!!! There will definitely be another crayfish party next year.

Thank you again for a splendid feast!!!

Hej Sven,
 
Tänkte bara skriva en rad om SWEA Washington-DC:s kräftskiva. Kvällen blev mycket lyckad trots att festen fick skjutas upp en vecka pga orkanen Isabel. Bråttom var det att hitta någon med plats i frysen för alla kräftor när strömmen gick hemma hos mig. Det ordnade sig till slut och vi har bara fått lovord om kräftorna, att dom var av topp-kvalite och ovanligt goda! Tack så mycket och på "återseende" nästa år!
 
Mvh,

Dear Sven:
 
The crayfish party for SWEA Santa Barbara was again a huge success, thanks to the beautiful Signal crayfish you provided.
 
The shipment was packed very well, and the crayfish was still frozen when we unpacked the special box and put them in the refridgerator.  Consequently, they were just perfect in time for the party. 
 
Our non-Swedish guests in particular appreciated the generous size of your crayfish--non-Swedes sometimes find it a struggle eating crayfish, but your crayfish have impressive claws and tails.  For the Swedes, they taste just right!!  The correct saltiness and yummy dill flavor.
 
Skål och Tack!

Dear Sven,

I write to you to tell you what a big success our "kräftkalas" with Neighbors Abroad was. To a very large extent this success was due to the crayfish you sent us. They were big and meaty and cooked in the Swedish way with salt and plenty of dill.

Everybody enjoyed them, even the "beginners" which is not always the case. They were delivered right on time to thaw to the beginning of the party. They were among the best that I have ever tasted, only the genuine Swedish crayfish (flodkräfta) could compete with them.

We will get back to you next year when the season starts and the Swedes get hungry for crayfish and associated liquor and food.

Please extend our appreciation to your helpers. A special thank you to Anita Douglas who made the suggestion to contact you.

With best regards

Stig Hagstrom / Neighbors Abroad
