Some say that the Fish Market is a tourist trap - I don't agree, in my opinion it's well worth a visit! Yes, handicrafts, knitted sweaters and souvenirs are sold here, and some of the stalls are very touristy indeed - but in addition to the postcards, t-shirts and viking helmets you'll find fruits, vegetables, flowers - and of course: fish and other sea creatures. And the locals *do* definitely shop here!
Stroll around, queue up to take photos of the anglerfish, have a look at the live fish and lobsters swimming around in tanks, and when you need a break: Get some freshly boiled shrimps, some crab claws (maybe try the giant Kamchatka crab!), a smoked salmon sandwich or - my favourite: the sweetest strawberries you'll ever eat!:o)
There are a few benches right next to the Fish Market, but here's a tip if you want to sit and enjoy your meal in a slightly quieter place: there are also some benches out on the pier (Shetlands-Larsens brygge) next to the restaurants at Zachen - right next to the Fish Market, towards Bryggen.
Opening hours:
June, July and August;
7 - 19 Monday - Sunday
September - May;
7 - 16 Monday - Saturday
Sunday closed.
Norwegian strawberries are for sale from June to early August..;o) Leave a Comment Address: In the heart of the city, on the waterfront

 Fish marked by daarth
The seafood sandwiches are quite popular and tasty. There are also tanks with live fish.
The pier "Zaggen" is right next to the marked with restaurants for every taste. Leave a Comment Directions: Inner harbour

 Bergen life by Kiwigirlie
It's great place to get a bite to eat, if you ask nicely the vendors will hand you free samplings. Plus you can buy your fresh fish and get it made into a sandwich right there!
Not for the sensative though as they also sell whale and seal meat. Leave a Comment Address: Right on the habour on TorgetDirections: You can't miss it. It's right in the heart of the city on the waterfront

The Torget as the Bryggen is probably the symbol of Bergen. Every day you can see the Fish Market with all the kinds of fish fishing in Norway, first of all the Salmon!!!! In the market you can find also fruit, vegetables, flowers, handicaps and souvenirs. There is only a con in this place: many fishermen are Italian and you can't meet a Norwegian fisherman in all the market!!! It is quite strange!! :) Leave a Comment

Bergen has one of the most famous fish market in Europe, it is has a lot to offer from seafood to souvenirs, but due to the mass tourism, items seems very much over prices here, but I guess this is normal in Norway ;-) Leave a Comment Directions: Fish market at the city centre.

 "Det beste fra havet" - the
best from the sea by WanderingFinn, 3 more photos
Location was also best possible: in the harbour and passenger harbour, city centre.
Speciality: the place is famous for sales people who speak several and also "unusual" languages. I heard one young guy talking perfect Spanish to some Spanish customers.
Great area to spend some time walking around or drinking a cup of coffee in on of the area's cafeterias - or why not to try one of the fish products!
Nice athmosphere - people on good mood. Address: City centre; harbour

Bergen is just a little GEM of a city. These 20th C. mini mansions on the hill with terraced gardens and views of the port would be my ultimate nest of a dream home!
Try the free seafood tasters at the market from the cute young vendors...then buy.
The Hensiatic Quarter is probably the oldest area situated amongst the horseshoe shaped little port. If you are there in late Aug. go to a summer concert! Hear Grieg and others- shop the antique, & lovely silver and secret, local shops. They also have antique jewelry- my Mom and I hunted for a Bizmarck golden necklace linked chain, and found real deals. They're really indigenous to Scandinavian countries. Another really romantic place where I found myself --once again alone, but not necessarily unhappy...just wanted someone to appreciate the views, the decadent hotels on the water and what other fun things and shops that discovered alone. the connected islands outskirts of town also were of the most interesting terrain. This area is where their amazingly productive natural Gas offshore plant is. They make zillions of Kroner for Norway's future...there will be no debt for norway coming up in the next few decades....
