Go Fishing from the Fish Market in Bergen – A True Fjord Adventure

Right by the iconic Fish Market in Bergen, surrounded by the buzz of tourists, seafood stands, and waterfront cafés, your fishing adventure begins. But unlike most visitors snapping photos from land, you’re about to step onto a boat and head out into the wild, beautiful Norwegian fjords.

From City Center to Open Water – In Minutes

Your trip starts at Strandkaien 3, just steps from Bergen’s Fish Market. Within minutes of departure, the city noise fades. Ahead lies deep water, dramatic landscapes, and the chance to catch your own fish in one of the most scenic places in the world.

What You’ll Catch

Depending on the season, our guests often reel in:

  • Cod

  • Pollock

  • Mackerel

  • Lysing (Tusk)

  • Even crabs from traditional pots

Never fished before? No problem. We provide all the equipment, and our guide is there to help you every step of the way.

Perfect for Travelers, Families, and First-Timers

Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with kids, this tour is designed to be safe, relaxed, and beginner-friendly. Children love the hands-on experience — especially pulling up the crab pots. And adults often tell us it’s the most peaceful and authentic part of their trip.

A Local Experience You Won’t Forget

This isn’t just a sightseeing cruise — it’s the real deal. You’ll learn how Norwegians have fished these waters for generations, and you’ll experience Bergen not just as a visitor, but as a participant in its coastal culture.

And yes — you’ll get to taste your catch! After fishing, we prepare a homemade fish soup right on board, using fresh ingredients and the catch of the day. It’s a warm, authentic taste of Norway — straight from fjord to table.
