Norway: Seafood Dinner at Fisketorget in Stavanger

Norway: Dinner at Fisketorget in Stavanger

Fisketorget is a really nice seafood market and restaurant located in the heart of Stavanger, near the harbor. The restaurant is known for fresh, high-quality seafood sourced directly from local fishermen, and it is one of AC’s favorite restaurants in the city. The menu depends on the catch of the day, but there are two permanent items on the menu; the shrimp sandwich and the fish soup. Furthermore, the steamed mussels in coconut milk also seem to hold a rather permanent spot on the menu.

When we were there, I had the tasting menu Litt av alt, with bite-sized samples of some of the menu favorites. Everything I had was delicious, but if forced to choose a favorite, it would probably be the mini version of the steamed mussels in coconut milk. AC went for a 3-course menu so she had the full-size versions of the coconut mussels, a dish with ling fish, and the fish soup, and if you go, I think that approach is what I would recommend. The food is so good, so you’d want the full-size portions.

Welcome to my blog about Norway. Norway is a country of contrasts, and that is exactly what makes it so compelling. Deep blue fjords cut through dramatic mountain landscapes, while small, postcard pretty towns sit quietly along the coast. At the same time, you will find bold, modern restaurants and a design scene that feels effortlessly Scandinavian. What I love most about Norway is how it does quiet beauty. Whether you are hiking to a remote viewpoint with nothing but wind and water around you, or sitting by the harbor with a glass of wine and a plate of something local and perfectly prepared, there is a sense of calm that is hard to replicate anywhere else. On my blog, I share my favorite places and experiences from Norway. Scenic hikes, charming coastal towns, and meals so good you start reconsidering your onward travel plans. If you are into nature, great food, and that laid back Nordic atmosphere, you will feel right at home here.
