This just seemed like a fish shop you would see in any coastal town plus a few touristy stalls. The prices were very expensive. We ate lunch there as there was no where else open and the fish soup was delicious. You can visit this tourist attraction pretty quickly and easily as it is just around the corner from the... More

Bergen Fishmarket is not a real market- I rather think it is touriststrap. Of course, there you can find and even try some fresh seafood... But if you like the aquatic animals, you can see them in the Aquarium that is located thereabouts. Then better dishes for less money are available in the restaurants around. Recently I heard the story... More

I used to love the fish market. The prices weren't half bad and you could get decent quality seafood and other stuff. After a change in management prices have skyrocketed and quality is no better than what you'll find in any grocery store. Prices are ridiculous even by Norwegian standards, the service is sub-par and there is absolutely no charm... More

Some of the freshest seafood ever. Different stalls offering plates of salmon, shrimp, crab claws, etc. A perfect lunch with views of the harbour!

Bergen Fishmarket is for tourists only. Quality seems okay and hygine has improved, but prices are just plain crazy. Even by Norwegian standards. They are so skyhigh that even the local newspaper recently run a big story on it. I don't know any locals who buy their stuff there. There are some other fishmongers in Bergen. Same quality less then... More

This famous landmark n Bergen has developed the wrong way. What used to be a wonderful place to visit, with somewhat expensive prices, has unfortunately moved with the greedy option, in order to fleece the tourists of most money as possible. Never mind if the tourists are never coming back, since more will come anyhow. One must pay more than... More

Bergen is such a beautiful location and the fish market is surrounded by the quay, mountains, and historical buildings. I would highly recommend this venue.

When I was a boy the fishmarket was a real market where many fishmongers offered a variety of fresh, often living fish at an affordable price. Now the products are overprised and a simple lunch is not available for less than 70-80 euro

Lots of stalls selling a variety of fish. Never seen a fish market so big. Obviously a call for it as its well used.

A lot of delicous seafood, but expensive and has no genuin feel. The modern bulding make you feel you are in a mall and not in a fish market. And I do not think there are any norwegian working there and I doubt anyone working there has been on a fishing boat!
