FISHING

Surrounded by open sea and fjords, conditions are perfect for sea fishing all year round. Fishing in winter is a very special experience, and there is a good chance of landing some really big fish. Did you know that shellfish are at their best in the winter?

Fishing has always been important for coastal communities. There are still traditional fishing villages and islands here where fishing remains the primary source of income for local people. You’ll find cottages, fisherman’s shacks and boathouses, providing the perfect setting for fishing holidays. These are close to the sea, with access to good boats and facilities for preparing and storing the catch. You can also join a local fisherman for a guided fishing trip and get tips on the best places to fish. You’ll find a list of businesses offering guided fishing trips and boat hire in the back of this guide.

SAFETY AT SEA

The weather along the coast can change rapidly. Always check the weather forecast, and remember to take warm clothing and the required safety gear.
