Located in the heart of the Norwegian city of Bergen, the Fish Market has long been one of the main tourist attractions of the country where experienced guides lead entire groups of curious tourists and sellers are happy to show their goods and tell funny stories. So, this place can be barely called a market as it is more like a fish museum. It is better to visit the so-called museum in the very early morning when all the seafood is fresh, there are not many tourists and the sellers are not tired. Lobsters, shrimps and squid, crabs, stingrays and octopuses, oysters and even whale meat – there you can buy everything that the heart of a fish and seafood lover desires. The most important thing is that everything sold is the freshest, caught from the North sea just a couple of hours ago. Besides, you can try a huge variety of dishes in this place: from the famous Scandinavian cream soup with salmon which is cooked in giant pans right in front of you, to wok-fried mussels, not to mention various tentacles and pincers which are prepared everywhere on an open fire on grates. All tourists should try the traditional fish pancakes made from cod «fiskekaker». The Norwegians themselves eat them with great relish. You can also take a delicious souvenir with you. However, it is better to take dried fish or smoked caviar in a branded tube with the inscription «Bergen». Aesthetes will also enjoy visiting the Fish Market in Bergen. Red umbrellas over the counters matching with lobsters and shrimps, surrounded by picturesque seascapes with snow-white liners and fishing boats deserve to be on the covers of the international gastronomic magazines. However, even the colorful views of the bizarre inhabitants of the North Sea can not convey all the seductive aromas.
