No shop, only boat: Lobster directly from the fishermen
Along the coast you may come across fishermen (more often than -women) who haul a catch of crabs and lobster up from traps at the bottom.If you approach them on the quay, the pier or alongside their boat they may be quite happy to sell you some of their catch. Note that there are legal seasons for catching crab and lobster, and size restrictions, too, that the fishermen will know about. These vary from one part of the coast to the other.In Northern Norway you may be able to get (or catch yourself) a King crab, monsters up to 5-6, even 10 kilos. For a good-sized lobster you may have to pay above 120 NOK directly to the fisherman, but that's a pittance compared to where they'll otherwise end up, at restaurant tables.Crab should be cheap.
