Bergen Fish Market
Bergen, Norway
About This Activity
Bergen's Fish Market (Fisketorget) has been a cornerstone of city life for centuries, set right on the Torget square at the foot of Bryggen. Vendors sell freshly caught shrimp, king crab, salmon gravlax, smoked whale, and cloudberry jam alongside Norwegian woolens and crafts. The covered indoor market operates year-round while the lively outdoor stalls run from spring through autumn. Share a cone of fresh boiled shrimp while watching the Bergen harbour — a quintessential Norwegian moment.
