In the harbor in Kåseberga, from 2007 to 2016, there was a museum of the entire sea rescue service in Sweden in SSRS’s former sea rescue station.

According to Rune Bunte’s article Fishing and fishing villages in Skåne.

Kåseberga has been mentioned in the literature already during the Middle Ages together with, among others, Skanör, Falsterbo, Malmö, Skåre, Ystad and Simrishamn as regulated fishing villages for fishing and fish trade.

According to the same article, in 1684 Kåseberga had nine rowing boats and 18 crew members. In 1858, there were 24 actual fishermen in Kåseberga and these households had a total income of SEK 12,600. In addition to these professional fishermen, there were a large number of binary subsistence fishermen, such as fishing farmers, who could quickly adapt to different work situations depending on the economic situation. That Kåseberga was quite important as a fishing village is evident from a combined ranking regarding the number of commercial fishermen.

Costs for fishing and profitability during the years 1876-1960. From this it can be deduced that Kåseberga among Skåne’s approximately 50 towns and fishing villages was number 17 and 18 during the years 1881-1890 and was then larger than, for example, Simrishamn as a “fish producer”.

Even during the years 1931-1940, Kåseberga was number 17 and 18 in the ranking for Skåne’s fishing villages, while the ranking was 39 in the years 1916-1920 for the years 1951-1955 to go up to number 14. In Kåseberga harbour are at least two fishrestaurants.
