FRESH FISH ON YOUR DISH!

Fisketorget Stavanger is the city’s only pure seafood store with a focus on local seasonal produce. You can purchase fresh fish and seafood throughout the year. Additionally, they have a state-of-the-art restaurant in the same venue.

If you want it easy, you can buy a readymade “takeaway” from the counter. Their concept “Fiks ferdig fisk” is popular, which means that you too can dish up the best the sea has to offer! All you must do is pick up the food box and follow the instructions from the chef. An excellent way to shine a little extra in the kitchen.

If you prefer arriving at a set table - come and enjoy the food in the restaurant! Sit down in a comfortable, indoor restaurant, or in summer, outdoors. Fisketorget has one of the city’s best outdoor restaurants. The enthusiastic chefs offer simple, tasty dishes for both lunch and dinner. Come and enjoy delicious seafood with a sea view over the Stavanger seafront!

Best-selling fish soup

Lars-Erik Lunde Kristiansen, general manager of Fisketorget talks about the restaurant’s two classic dishes on the menu which have been in the restaurant from the very beginning; the prawn sandwich and the fish soup. “On the shrimp sandwich, there is plenty of shrimp and first­class greens and condiments on freshly baked bread.” Simply put, it is exquisite in taste and must be tried! The fish soup sold a whopping 38,000 portions in the record year of 2019! That says something about how popular it is.
