    I went to @fet_fisk when they first opened and then...simply did not act right by not coming back sooner. That one's on me. The red lighting alone feels like it's romanticizing your life choices-dim, moody, a little unhinged in the best way. It's the kind of place where you sit down and immediately feel cooler than you actually are. The food is thoughtful, seafood-forward, and the kind of good that makes you stop talking mid-sentence. The bar? Dangerous in a one more drink won't hurt kind of way. Everything feels intentional without being pretentious, which is rare. This place doesn't yell for attention-it just knows what it is. Fet-Fisk is moody, vibey, and exactly what you need when you want a night that feels a little elevated but still effortless. Consider this me publicly admitting I should've come back sooner.

    half chicken

    Great experience from beginning to end. We made reservations for 6pm in the dining room, and our table was ready when we arrived. The decor inside is like you are visiting someone's home. Relaxed, with trinkets and art everywhere. Dark and moody. The service from our server, Gina, was fantastic. She explained the family-style menu and recommended drinks to us (they have non-alcoholic!). We started with the pickled herring, which was smoky and acidic, paired with the most amazing beet puree. The carrots with the maple glaze and oat topping were incredible. Perfect texture with some bite still, and a super caramelized sauce. We ended up eating our fries with the sauce! We also ordered the rainbow trout entree, which was cooked in a garlic sauce with toasted almonds and capers. This was hands down the best thing we ate! The half chicken with lingonberries and farmers cheese was good, but we found it challenging to eat. The spaetzel was super rich and creamy. I would eat it daily if I could. We really, really enjoyed our meal and experience here. I would love to come back.

    I've been here twice now. Friends have raved about Fet-Fisk, including my dinner companions on both visits. You definitely need to like fish and salted foods. 3 of us shared a bunch of appetizers, a salad and two mains. My favorite was the trout pate and the marinated button mushrooms.

    Amazing dining experience! Service was attentive and pleasant. Loved how often they would change your plates and silverware for each course. Food was fresh, flavorful, and inventive. I highly recommend stopping here if you get a chance. We ordered the oysters served with a delicious ligonberry mignonette. Scallop crudo was the highlight with a sauce you felt like drinking. Smoked trout pate, mixed with cheese and these interesting black crackers. We finished off the meal with half roasted chicken, had a nice crispy skin; sourdough spaetzle; French friend potatoes and grilled cabbage ceaser. I didn't love the cabbage but it was more personal as I don't like strong fishy taste, as it had pieces of anchovies throughout the salad.

    We had a reservation for dinner at 6pm on a Sunday. When we got there there was already a lone line of people waiting despite the cold. There is a coat check inside and we were led to our table promptly. There's a bar inside along with a lounge area and a dining room with tables. We family styled a bunch of items and each was so flavorful and delicious. This is one of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh for sure!!

    Half roasted chicken

    Finally scored a dinner reservation at Fet-Fisk! The interior was very cozy and the bar area was especially cool. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed with our seating--we were placed directly next to a window, and it was noticeably cold. We ordered a variety of dishes after our waitress recommended 4-6 plates for two people. The rye focaccia was excellent--very sourdough-forward and served with a homemade balsamic. The pickled mackerel was unlike anything I've had before; the salty fish paired beautifully with the smoked beet sauce and dill. The duchess potatoes were another standout. While the portion was small, the truffle brown butter sauce was easily the best sauce we tried all night. The grilled branzino was fun to eat, and the seaweed butter and breadcrumbs on top were the perfect finishing touch. Our favorite dish, though, was the roasted half chicken--hands down some of the juiciest, most flavorful chicken I've ever had. Next time, we'll definitely be saving room for dessert!

    Ora king salmon gravalax
    Della S.

    4 of us came for dinner on a Monday night, sampling various dishes across their menu. We sat in an area that was lit with red lights, so I apologize for the lack of color in my photos! We started with the oysters ($4/each, $44 for a dozen), which were good. The mignonette was fresh and zesty. Great pick for people who love raw oysters, but they had a pretty standard/typical flavor profile that I felt I could find at many other seafood restaurants. Next, we got the ora king salmon gravalax ($18). The salmon was coated with finely shaved butter and egg yolks. The very rich flavor from the butter and egg yolks intensified the richness of the salmon, while the creaminess from the butter balanced out the saltiness. The scallop crudo ($15) arrived shortly after. I'm usually not a big fan of crudo (it's too fruity? or oily?) but this was the best crudo I've had in a while. I really enjoyed the pickled apple-- it had a lot of tartness to it, with only a very subtle fruity taste, and was super crunchy. One of the biggest highlights for me was their pickled mackerel ($13). I was blown away by the smoked beet spread that came with it, which added so much nuance to the pickled fish! I also liked the added crunch from the cabbage. Our server recommended their Monday special, the buttermilk fried chicken (3/$14, 6/$28) to us. The fried chicken was a little hard to eat, because the caviar would roll off while we tried to bite into the chicken. However, I'd highly recommend getting this! The chicken was tender, nicely brined, and the breading was perfectly seasoned. The herbed creme fraiche was also so tasty that we ate it with a spoon at the end. We got an order of their steamed hollander mussels ($19) that came in a creamy but not too rich sauce. Like everything else we tried, this dish was tasty. However, I would also put it under the category of "I can get something similarly good elsewhere." If I was a regular customer here, I could see myself ordering this dish, but in the spirit of trying flavor profiles unique to Fet-Fisk, I would opt for something else. So many of our dishes came with unique sauces and we couldn't wait for the rye focaccia ($8) so that we could use the bread to soak up the sauces. But once I tasted the tomato balsamic that the bread came with, I completely forgot about the other sauces I wanted to dip the bread in. If you're a fan of tomato and garlic, this dip is the best! The raw garlic taste is definitely pungent but adds so much spice and dimension to the tomatoey, vinegary, savory dip. We ended up getting two orders of the focaccia. The final savory dish we got was the rainbow trout fillet ($30). The smoked almond sauce added a very nutty, almost creamy taste to the fish, as well as a lot of crunchy texture that complemented the flaky, tender fillet. I would still say that I had more fun trying the bright, savory, and tangy flavors that the smaller dishes came with, but the trout did feel a lot more substantial and filling. Finally, we rounded out the meal with their panna cotta ($8). The panna cotta was extremely rich and fatty, and the grape sauce on top reminded me of Welch's grape jam in the best way. If I were to come here alone on a Monday night and wanted to treat myself to a nice meal, I'd get their pickled mackerel, buttermilk fried chicken, and rye focaccia.

    Great place for girls nights and dating. Though all the seafood shareables and entrees were amazing, the chicken entree was the most surprising one! The environment was stunning, service was nice. Definitely coming back for more seasonal dishes!

    Fet-Fisk was an absolute hit. The space is gorgeous--warm, intimate, and designed to make you want to linger. I sat in the main dining room, but the bar's moody red glow was seriously tempting. Service was spot-on, especially when it came to guiding portions and wine pairings. The cocktails and wines were thoughtful, but the food is where the restaurant really shines. The steak tartare was easily the best I've had--tender, bright, perfectly seasoned. And the sweet corn panna cotta? Rich yet delicate, with a deep corn flavor that felt both surprising and nostalgic. A standout dinner from start to finish. Highly recommend Fet-Fisk for any occasion.

    Such a gem to have this type of cuisine available in Pittsburgh! We made a reservation pretty far ahead, although it appears they also welcome walk-ins too. The atmosphere really set the tone for the meal from the moment you walked in the door. You felt as if you were stepping into a Scandinavian lodge or, après-ski, vibe. Nice dim lighting, many wooden elements and rustic decor and dinnerware. Our server helped us navigate the menu and perfectly coursed everything for us as well. We tired a little bit of everything, but our favorites were the steak and the famous grilled Caesar salad. I'd love to come back and dine again, but would be especially excited to take in the vibes at the bar with a few plates.

    Mussels
    Chris O.

    Mussels were so good, had to save the sauce for pasta (staff's rec). Chicken was cooked perfectly and the lingonberry sauce was refreshing and warm, so much better than I had expected. Great wine list as well- the mourvèdre was a perfect pairing. Parking is difficult, but worth it. Dining room is well spaced and comfortable.

    Salmon gravlax
    Ev W.

    Our dining experience at Fet-Fisk was a lovely one, resulting from our spontaneous decision to take the next available reservation that evening. My partner ordered oysters and the trout fillet. I ate the salmon gravlax and the celeriac soup. We both shared the sourdough spaetzle. Overall, the food was wonderful. Each flavor of the dish is harmonious and pleasing. Any guest can tell this restaurant has put so much effort into creating dishes with a variety of flavors and high-quality ingredients. My favorite was the cured salmon gravlax, accompanied by cultured butter and egg yolk, which I highly recommend. The service was kind, helpful, and quick. The restaurant itself had a nice ambiance with lower lighting. After our meal, we shared the chocolate torte with lingonberries which was a sweet and decadent end to our dinner. We will definitely be back to try dishes such as the popular roast chicken and more of the cocktails!

    Cabbage Cesar and Rye Focaccia
    Ashley M.

    A RARE PITTSBURGH GEM! Experienced Fet-Fisk for the first time last night and was very impressed by their diverse menu, wine selection, and overall ambience. The restaurant is classy-casual with a moody vibe and the wait staff was really incredible. We started with the marinated mushrooms and the smoked trout pâté - both were incredible! The smokey-ness of the pâté paired with the fresh shallots and capers was so delicious and the sauce of the mushrooms was unlike anything I've ever had - almost like a Bloody-Mary-meets-mushrooms vibe which may sound interesting but it worked really well together! Our second course was my least favorite of the night in all honesty - the rye focaccia and the cabbage Cesar (unfortunately the only picture I got). The Cesar was a little fishy for my liking with chunks of anchovies within the layers. A beautiful dish, but just not for me. The focaccia and dipping oil were good but again was not a wowing as the first and final course. For our final course we had the spaetzle, gnocchi, and the Swedish meatballs (we were there on Sunday!). Oh my goodness, this was the best course of the evening.... The gnocchi literally melted in your mouth and was served in such a delicious sauce. The spaetzle was incredible, and the Swedish meatballs were the absolute best thing I had all evening. The meat was moist and perfectly cooked, the sauce truly incredible and the pairing with the pickles was *chef's kiss*.... Unreal. To top it all off, they have a wonderful wine menu and even had an orange wine section which I've never seen in Pittsburgh. I got the orange pinto which was a really nice compliment to the meal overall. Really incredible experience. Our out-of-town foodie friends who joined us really loved it too. Will definitely be back!

    What is the noise level on a weekday evening?

    There are 2 sides, a bar side and a dining room side. I've only sat in the dining room and the noise level was low. I'm not sure about the other side, but I suggest you do the same if that is your concern

I got a rosé, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio - the rosé was my fav! Everything else we ordered: -Whipped Sheep's cheese w/ truffle honey + chips -Jamón & Manchego Croquetas (happy hour deal) -Patatas Bravas (happy hour deal) -Mussels + homemade sausage -Albondigas aka spiced meatballs (happy hour deal) -Bacon wrapped dates -Potato tortilla -Spiced beef empanadas -Espresso martini -Chocolate cake Overall I really enjoyed everything! Hard to pick a favorite, but I'd say my least favorite thing was the bacon-wrapped dates (I just don't eat dates very much). I was a little disappointed in the size of the empanadas, I'm used to eating bigger ones from other restaurants, but they were still very tasty! The food came out fast and was super fresh! Our main server Becca was funny, relatable, and really made this such a fun experience! She also treated us to the sangria chug (not sure if that's the official name but that's what I'm calling it lol). The dim lighting and dark decor makes a perfect ambiance for a girls night or date night!

The other items here at the restaurant were not good, and I do not recommend this as they don't want to make good quality food. Lobster ravioli is pretty dry and tough to chew. Tiramisu is missing that earthy coffee flavor. Chicken caprese says that it comes with fresh mozzarella, however, they only gave us small circle of cheese on one side of the sandwich (covers about 1/4 of the sandwich). Do not get the truffle fries, they are the exact same taste as the normal fries. Last, the crab and shrimp dip is highly inconsistent. The first day, it was good and actually had pieces of shrimp. The second day, zero shrimp. In the end, this restaurant has several deficiencies that they do not seem willing to resolve.
