Decent Fish Market Could Be More Interesting
As fish markets go, it didn't have a uniquely memorable Instagram moment for a rabid tourist like the fish throwing at Pike Place or the tuna auctions at Tsukiji. But Bergen's bustling, hustling market served its purpose with stall after stall of seafood presented either on ice or in tanks. And like the other markets around the world, its scope has broadened over the centuries to include fruit and vegetables and non-seafood restaurants. We immersed ourselves into the smallish space by trying its most popular seafood eatery, Bernard Torghandel AS and chomping on their fish kebabs. Honestly the best feature of Fisketorget was its central location mere steps from Bryggen and the Floibanen funicular. When you visit all three spots, I believe you get the Bergen stamp of approval and can redeem it for a free reindeer hot dog. OK I lied but I can dream, can't I?

Even if you don't buy anything, worth a stop to look around
Since I went in the winter, the outdoor part of the fish market was not there, but the indoor part is set up year round so I stopped in to take a peak. There were so many types of seafood. I didn't buy anything since everything was very expensive, but I still had a good time looking at all the seafood.
