I headed down here one evening as I was craving seafood. It's located on a canal, and you can either sit inside or outside on a barge. I chose to sit inside, as I was by myself. I walked around first to check the place out, a very cool interior, and several places to eat. I didn't realize it at first, but there is more than one restaurant. I went to the front host stand and told the host that it was one for dinner. He greeted me, gave me a menu, and then we walked to one of the seafood bars and I sat down. The name was Ekmans Almost immediately, the man behind the bar came to me and asked me for my drink order. We discussed the different beers available, I settled on a local draft and then perused the menu. As I walked in, I spied another diner having a seafood platter, which looked great. I asked my server about it, and he highly recommended it, so I ordered it. He brought me a tasty cold beer, and shortly thereafter, my seafood platter arrived, and it was perfect- a bunch of tasty small shrimp, mussels, salad, crackers, aged cheese, and 3 huge Langoustines! It was delicious, I had a second beer and enjoed my meal and conversation with the barman very much. There are several restaurants here, as well as a seafood market during the day. I would definitely come back here on my next visit- highly recommended! read more

Slow slow slow. Hard to get server help. Overpriced. 10 usd for a can of beer. The barge menu is limited. Indoors is more extensive, but only limited hours. Bit of a disappointment. I would say roll a dice coming here. Ordered peeled shrimp. Good but nothing special and $$$. read more

Feskekôrka - Seafood Markets Near Me - Göteborg, O

Very interesting place, worth a trip in itself. Great ambiance with the "church" windows. It is a fish market and a restaurant combined. As I visited on Sunday afternoon, there was not a lot of fresh fish to be found, only some prepared shellfish was still available. I sat at a bar. Got a glass of Chablis (selection of wines is quite decent) and classic Swedish shrimp sandwich (I was warned that it will be big). The sandwich was not big, it was giant. While it had bread on the bottom, there was not a chance of picking it up and eating as any other sandwich. But - this is my only "complaint". Sandwich was delicious, and it was devoured with pleasure. Good friendly prompt service. Definitely recommended. read more

Initially I thought this was like a food court style where there are various vendors and you pick a place to order from and find your seat. But I stand corrected. This was more set up like a restaurant, you are seated, and you order from the menu. You could also order directly from the various stands if you see something they have that's not on the menu... like fish nuggets..etc. The Fish Church was bright and beautiful. Upon walking in it feels/looks very clean. Oliver served us at the counter and he was fun to chat with. Made some recommendation on how he loves the shrimp toast. We ended up ordering the seafood platter of the day and devour that with a couple delicious glasses of white wine. Beautiful set up, must visit when in Gothenburg. read more

After Oslo, Norway, our next destination was Gothenburg, Sweden. We stumbled across this place by our lovely tour guide. This is an amazing decor as it is dubbed The Fish Church. Walking in, we can see there are a few seafood merchants and some restaurants. We were seated immediately and ordered 1 traditional catch of the day and another one baked fish of the day. I believe the baked fish was the haddock which came with bacon bits swimming on a bed of mash potatoes and amazing gravy sauce. The other order was for a different type of fish over a creamy pea sauce. Both these fishes were absolutely divine and fresh. We also got a herring to start and given this was our first time trying, absolutely loved it. The fish wasn't mushy at all and had a nice full bite to it. All the orders came with small salad and choice of tap water or coffee. Highly recommended. read more

Very nice and clean place, newly renovated and the look of this place is great. Staff is very nice and helpful, the food came out within 15 minutes of ordering and we were also served a herring, potatoes, and sour cream appetizer which was delicious. If you're here to shop they also have a lot of great options for fresh fish to purchase, and great bar choices as well. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area! :) read more

The fish church is awesome. It recently underwent a major renovation that took four years to complete. From what I understand they had to jack the building up because it was sinking. I visited nine years ago and back then the larger portion of the building was dedicated to fish/seafood merchants. They were also a couple of restaurants. Now it is the reverse. There are two merchants and five restaurants. We picked one that focused on seafood. There were four of us. Our waitress helped us with our order. We had two seafood platters and added a half-lobster to each platter. We wanted crab claws also but our server said they were out when we initially sat down. I mentioned that I was hoping they had some but understood that everything was limited to what was freshly caught that day. With that she went and double checked, and to my happy relief they still had a few. Everything we ate was fantastic as expected! read more

A complete rip off! My wife and I were charged $31 USD in "service fees" on a $38 USD lunch bill. At no point were we warned about this ridiculous fee, and at no point did we receive any real "service." We were told we had to sit at the bar, and we had to get our own silverware, napkins and water. Everyone we have talked to in Sweden has been appalled by this charge, including the official tourist office, which called the practice "un-Swedish." After multiple complaints, we finally received a late apology by email and were offered a refund of the fee, but only if we traveled miles back to the location. We have visited 86 countries, and we have rarely encountered this level of unethical behavior. Never again. We would encourage other tourists, and locals, to boycott Feskekorka until they clean up their act. read more

We went to the nice restaurant that is up the stairs - make a reservation!!! We lucked out by getting the last three barstools at the bar but many people got turned away due to reservations. We came on a rainy Friday at about 1pm and they were completely packed. We ordered an array of the dishes, I had the creamy fish bake, a traditional bake of the fish with cream, and the lemon halibut was another favorite. The food is incredibly rich, traditional, and of course mostly seafood. They will explain the menu in English if you ask! The service was a bit slow and took about 20 minutes at least to come out, but the servers were friendly. read more

Definitely worth the visit! They have an abundant variety of fish of course. I saw many with small containers of seafood salad and baguettes having a picnic outside. Also, some restaurants- a couple downstairs and one upstairs. I ended up eating at Restaurang Gabriel on the second level and had an excellent lunch. read more

I love fish markets! There are quite a lot of options here, with cooked seafood, raw seafood, seafood salads, etc. I ended up getting smoked salmon (my favorite! So tender, chewy, and fresh, and a nice smoky flavor), shrimp (seems like they were just boiled, but they were also very fresh), and marinated fish (slightly salty, but still good!). Yum! The building is also quite interestingly shaped. There aren't any places to sit inside to eat, but there are wooden tables and benches outside to enjoy a fresh seafood meal! read more

I'd heard a lot of great things about this place in my 3 month stay in Gothenburg, and in my last week I decided to finally give it a try. While the fish there was not half bad, it just did not live up to my expectations after all of the hype. Another review said that the salmon they got was dry and oversmoked. Seems to be the case here all the time, as my salmon was quite dry and oversmoked as well. I also bought a shrimp and mushroom stuffed crepe. For 35 sek it was a bit overpriced, but the flavor was quite good. There are multiple counters/cafes/restaurants(?) inside this fish market, and almost all of them have outrageous prices. Every menu item is upwards of 150-200 sek. The fish sold here is definitely fresh, and the range is quite large as well. They even have some scary deep sea fish for sale. Overall, I wouldn't make this place a "regular" shopping spot for fish, but definitely worth crossing of the "Gothenburg bucket list" read more

It was crayfish season when we visited, and everything sold here is wonderful. A great thing to do is ask for two shrimp and crayfish salads with bread, and do as the locals do: eat outside on the benches, looking over the canal. The deli section looked delicious, with all sellers doing a brisk trade. Would have gone more times, but sadly, they are shut on Mondays and Sundays. read more

You can't make a stop in Gothenburg and not go to Feskekôrka. It's a small fish market in the outskirts of downtown Gothenburg. We bought the smoked shrimp, smoked salmon and smoked makrill, got it all in little paper bags and sat on the benches outside to eat it all. It was good. The salmon was a bit dry, almost over smoked, but still full of flavors. I'm not a big "shrimp" person, but I like it when they're packed with flavors and/or smoked. :) Baby J liked it too, but there was no surprise there. Would get a 4 star, but unfortunately the oversmoked salmon brings it down one star. read more

Delicious! Just be aware they're closed on Sunday and Monday. I had a lobster and shrimp roll that was very fresh and tasty. In addition, I tried a couple of the herring dishes: pickled with onions and a mustard one. The best idea is to get a variety of items with some bread and share!! read more

Feskekôrka or fish Church is a spectacular place to visit for seafood lovers. It's an indoor seafood market housed in a historic building that resembles a gothic church. The cleanest and the most beautifully displayed seafood market I've been in, the smell of fresh seafood is simply intoxicating. I was drooling over display case upon case of bright red sweet shrimps, langoustines, giant crabs cut in half so you can see those roes, smoked fish, fresh fish, oysters, it goes on and on. There is a restaurant upstairs, but I haven't tried. I wish there were a place like that in my hometown. Please go and visit if you are in Goteborg. Very easy to find, in downtown area, by the canal of Rosenlund. The building is easily recognizable. read more

Fresh seafood market! I would buy fish every week if I live close! I tried salmon platter and fish soup. They were saltier side, but loved the fish egg dressing and garlic dressing. They can heat up the prepared dish for you that was a nice touch. read more

Worst crab ever. Cold and empty. We did.not try others. I think the.shrimp salad may be good as many local people buy it.

Best place to buy fish in Gothenburg. A couple of little eateries here too. Upstairs was quite good. I'll try the other two
