Add a review about the Fish Market

The Fish Market of Bergen has long become a landmark like the Hanseatic Quay. So this is not a market in the traditional sense of the word, where in the mornings local housewives go. This is a completely tourist place, like any city museum. Organized groups lead here, and unorganized spontaneously attach themselves here for lunch or dinner.

The fish market begins to live somewhere from half past seven in the morning, and by midday it can not get through from the tourist crowds.

The whole market territory (at the very it's not that big at all) covered with umbrellas and busy with made-up covered tablecloths . Literally from the late morning here they begin to eat . Fish market is generally intended for food rather than for shopping . You, of course, can just grab fish home, but here it is expensive, and the salted Foot salmon or frozen shrimp lacking in all shops of the city . dreams of the morning catch straight from the nets of fishermen harsh bearded better to look for another place . or buy someone else living who crawls and skrebotsya inside large aquariums .

Norway - a fishing country . But it is here, in the Bergen market, you can find not many local specialties . First of all it will be the famous Scandinavian cream soup with salmon: it is brewed here in huge saucepans, written in crayons in English "Fish sou n . Then - shells of mussels that are roasted in the woks . And finally, pieces of all kinds of fillets, tentacles and claws that are fried on the grill on an open fire . This is what you can and should eat on fish market, to get closer to the true feelings of the Norwegian fish dishes .

of special note is the famous local dish: fiskekaker, fish oladushek cod, eggs, milk and tapioca flour with lots of black pepper and salt. Norwegians love this homemade food and are ready to eat it with a side dish, inside a burger or just like that. The market fiskekakery constantly heated on metal sheets, they are wrapped in paper and eaten like a patty

rest -. Globalization is already a tribute to . Each tent can buy a sandwich in baguette with shrimp or salmon dish with potatoes fish'n'chips -fri or greens, buns and than luck from the fish . Both, and the other, and the third is delivered straight from the supermarket and may well be yesterday's . However, alas, fiskekakery here also bought . Just a bit further there are trays with fruits and berries, and in summer here you can buy an amusing takeaway: a large plas Ikov glass of fruit cuts and stuck a fork into it . A few vendors at the fish market selling farm products: mainly sausages and cheeses . sometimes offer to try .

If you still want to buy something with you, as a souvenir home, for example, it can be jerky fish or caviar. Smoked caviar in tubes is especially convenient for this. Although, again, in the supermarket (the nearest - right behind Bruggen, near the church of St. Mary) it will be much cheaper. True, without the inscription Bergen on the tube.

The fish market begins to live somewhere from half past seven in the morning, and already by noon, in good weather, it does not get out of the tourist crowds. Some sellers have ads in Russian, saying with a humor that they accept "gold diamonds" as payment.

Two steps from the open market, on the ground floor of the building where the tourist information center is located, they also sell fish, and you can eat with food from her table. There are fewer choices, but warmer.
