Why Bergen Fish Market matters
The Fish Market has been a meeting spot by Bergen's harbour for centuries. Stalls sell fresh seafood, smoked salmon, crab and fish sandwiches, and some serve prepared meals at tables beside the water. The prices lean toward tourist level, but the setting and the flavours are authentic. Come hungry and try something local.
Talking points
- Seafood and smoked salmon are the specialities.
- It sits right on the harbour.
- Many stalls serve ready-to-eat dishes.
