Fishing with Freyja - Tight lines

Set sail with Michelin-starred chef Alex Nietosvuori and local skipper Drew Holmes as they head out from Beadnell Harbour on the stunning Northumberland coast. Battling 2-metre swells and classic British July weather, the duo embark on a wild fishing trip to catch, cook, and talk all things food, friendship, and the story behind Restaurant Freyja.

This episode from the Freyja YouTube channel captures the chaos, laughs, and magic that happen when two friends take a much-needed day off — complete with fresh seafood cooked on deck, honest conversations, and heartwarming moments at sea.

Whether you’re into sea-to-plate cooking, UK travel, or discovering the journey behind a world-class restaurant, this is a must-watch coastal adventure.

ALEX’S DAY OFF

FISHING WITH FREYJA

Join us as we head out on the open (and very choppy sea) out of Beadnell Harbour in the magical Northumberland. We had a fantastic day filming 4 episodes for the Freyja youTube chanel Drew Holmes ‘El Capitan’ takes Michelin starred chef Alex Nietosvuori out to his favourite fishing spots as we discuss his latest venture Restaurant Freyja. This day had been in the making for a fairly long time and typically the one day we choose in JULY! was the one where it was raining and the swells were uptown 2m! It was a bit of a battle but we managed and all of the usual chaos only added to the final piece! Funny, honest and heartwarming.

A day off, 2 friends, fishing, cooking and eating their catch!
