Probably one of the best meals that we had on our trip to Norway was our very first night in Oslo at Fiskeriet. We did not have a reservation, but luckily they managed to fit us in at a shared table. This place is extremely popular so I would highly recommend making a reservation. To start, we ordered the cod croquettes to share. Perfectly fried and golden brown, these croquettes were absolutely delicious and the accompanying sauce paired perfectly. For our entrées, I ordered the fish and chips while my husband ordered the creamy fish soup and my father ordered the fish gratin. All three dishes were fresh and delicious, but I think the fish gratin was my favorite. So if you find yourself an Oslo looking for a delicious meal down by the water, come check out Fiskeriet. read more

Came here for lunch, seated promptly but does get packed and servers are busy. Tried the fish and chips (good portion of fish, nice crisp to the outside, comes with fries and sauce), salmon tartare (comes with 2 biscuits, nice raw salmon with some sauce on top), fish gratin. I enjoyed the salmon tartar and fish & chips. Gratin was ok, don't think we finished half of it. Location is in a good spot by the water and they have indoor/outdoor seating. Prices ok. read more

Small restaurant on a plaza that has both indoor and outdoor seating. Extensive seafood menu featuring plenty of raw and shellfish options. Disappointing to me they only serve Pepsi products - darn - had to go with a beer. Table next to me ordered the shellfish platter and it looked amazing. Had the ceviche and it was different from what I was expecting but excellent overall. Service was slow and seemed disjointed. I never could tell who my server was. Would definitely recommend. read more

We visited the Munch Museum then found this place nearby, less than 5 minutes walk from Munch Museum or the Opera House. We were able to get a table inside very quickly at 5:15 pm. The outside seatings were very full. We had fish and chips, creamy fish soup, and the langoustine special. All are very good, especially the fish soup with salmon and mussels. Fish & Chips is the famous dish there. The langoustine plate came with 2 langoustines halved and some salad. , Service was fine, it was busy we were told the food could take up to 30 minutes to come out but it came sooner. read more

Since our original plans were upended on our first day in Oslo, we timed our visit to Fiskeriet just right since we didn't have a reservation. The weather was still nice that night so we took the available table outdoors. If one had a reservation then you got the priority of being seated inside. The staff here were on top of things the whole night and quite attentive. One even brought over a blanket when a light breeze picked up. Our must try dish was the fish gratin which took 20 plus minutes but the wait was worth it. It was delivered hot with a creamy blend of fish and cheese. I thought it was a good balance with mostly fish versus cheese. The bowl of mussels were nice and meaty in a very tasty broth that I almost finished off like a soup. The side of French fries were crisp and the aioli paired well as the dip for it. Would like to come back again next time we're back in Oslo. read more

Our experience started badly with the male host, who was obnoxious, aggressive, and frankly intimidating. His attitude made us feel very unwelcome. The food was just okay--very simple, with nothing that stood out or justified the hype. It honestly feels like this place owes its popularity to social media rather than the quality of the food or service. After our visit, I have no idea what attracts so many people here. I would not come back, EVER! read more

I never thought I would be in Oslo again but I was lucky to come back to this lovely city. I had to go back to Fiskeriet, still the best fish and chips! Nothing like a cold beer a window seat and the best fish! read more

Fiskeriet was the first eatery in Oslo I visited, which was a great start of my Norway trip. Thanks to Yelp, I found Fiskeriet as a popular place for Norwegian seafood, and since I love seafood and wanted to try traditional Norwegian eats, it was a no-brainer. Fiskeriet is located in Oslo's sentrum, so is walking distance to the city center, where many shops, restaurants and hotels are located. It was easy to find, but harder to get in if you're coming with a large group as this place gets busy. Fortunately, I was able to get in, if I sat outside, which I didn't mind. I was able to have a view of the city and it was a sunny day. But many people wanted to sit inside, which was completely packed. People kept asking to be seated and the hostess would always ask if they had made a reservation. So, word to the wise is make a reservation here. Oh! And they allow dogs inside here. (Get a clue, America!!!) I wanted to try a traditional Norwegian dish, so the hostess recommended the fish soup, which is a very common, traditional dish. I ordered that with the salmon tartare. My meal also came with complimentary bread, which was delicious with the fish soup. The fish soup is lighter than chowder as it's not as creamy since it's made with a fish stock. Delicious! I highly recommend trying fish soup at least once when in Norway. It not only came with cod, but clams and salmon, too. Speaking of salmon - I loved the salmon tartare! The raw salmon was so fresh and loved the salmon eggs with it! It had a nice spicy sauce on it with some crispy flakes for that crunch. I liked it more than the soup. But both won't do you wrong. Visit Fiskeriet if you love seafood! read more

So. First plate. Cold at least cold enough to return it. Second. Barely warmer. Just weka cooking job all around also poor choice of dishes and shrimp the size you get in canned shrimp from the grocery store just fresh and in need of a peel. Drinks. Poor. Overly sweet. Stick with beer. It's just disappointing. read more

Considering I am American this place was a bit expensive, but so fresh and good! Fish and chips live up to the hype but I was craving a warm soup. My oyster was so fresh and yummy! We sat outside and it was nice to people watch. Inside has the market and some seating too. Everyone there was super nice and accommodating. read more

Some of the freshest fish we've ever had. We stayed in Bergen for 2 nights and went there the 2nd night because we enjoyed it so much

Had the. fish soup , it was EXCELLENT....flavorful fresh and very tasty. The seafood was fresh and blended superbly with the milk.

Took my husband to Norway for the second time to visit my family, and he really really wanted to try Norwegian fresh fish! So my childhood friend recommended this place. It's very small and inconspicuous but when you walk in you can see why this establishment has been around for decades! The have fresh (literally freshly caught) fish and seafood as you walk in and to the right. And right in the front you see small glass aquariums filled with living lobster. Then as you walk slightly to your left you see the restaurant portion. We tried doing a walk-in (highly recommend reservations here!) and luckily got the last spot for two. But believe me when I say this space is SMALL, so I wouldn't walk in with lots of bags or accessories. And it's definitely tough for large groups. They've definitely tried to maximize seating so you're literally back to back to people. But it's a cozy space and I love the wall decor and photos from decades past (I'm talking almost 100 years of history of this place!). They also played relaxing music that wasn't super loud but gave the place a soothing ambiance. Now for the food: we ordered the cod croquettes, the fish and chips, and the fish gratin (fiskegrateng) all to share between the two of us. In one word: YUM!! Each dish came in hot from the oven/stove and oh so delicious! The croquettes were crispy and soft and came with a delicious sauce on top. Perfect for an appetizer. The fish and chips came with two large pieces of cod and were super crispy. In fact, it was a fairly large portion! We did have to ask for extra tarter sauce since we only got one (and they charged 25 kr for it). But overall, I can confidently say that this was the best fish and chips both my husband and I have ever had! Lastly, the fish gratin took about 20 min to come out (they mention it on the menu and the server also told us), and it was piping hot from the oven! It was very tasty but also very filling. Definitely recommend as well. We also had two drinks - a glass of house white wine each, which paired nicely with the cod dishes. It was more pricey than we had expected for two people (about $114 USD), but the food and experience was well worth it. LOVE and will return :) read more

The food was excellent. Waiter recommended starting with Salmon tar tar. Then the seafood soup. Combined with hearty bread and great butter made one appreciative of simple Nordic seafood. read more

Found this place on yelp... well reviewed spot close to our hotel. We enjoyed our meal here. I ordered the seafood casserole, based on the positive feedback. It was on the pricey side, but there was a generous amount of seafood. I have to say that the flavor was fine but not fantastic, but its still a solid option due to the amount of seafood. I also tried some of the fish soup, which I actually preferred. The broth was fairly tangy and complimented the fish well. Also it included a generous amount of fish. I didn't personally try the fish and chips, but that dish looked good too. read more

Fiskeriet was recommended to us by a local and what a treat it was! We found the Fish'n'Chips, the Tuna Tartar, and the mussels simply amazing! We got there a little before 5pm with no wait, got a spot outside, and received prompt and friendly, knowledgeable service. If you're craving stellar seafood and fancy some amazing cocktails, you came to the right place! Highly recommended. read more

As Norway is known for fish, this is the local comfort spot to get some amazing oysters to get your meal started off right. Although you can't go wrong with any of their dishes, I would say that they are most known for their fish n' chips. They did not disappoint! The meal hit the spot and with this restaurant situated in a little square in the city, I got to do some people watching as well. Lastly, the desert was a nice finish to the dining experience. I got the chocolate cherry dessert that added the perfect end to the meal, and good enough for any chocolate lovers out there needing their fix A friendly and welcoming staff, I recommend this place for a nice lunch or early dinner. read more

Based on Yelp reviews, we decided to try this spot on our 1st night in Oslo since it was walking distance from our hotel Clarion the Hub. I'm so glad we did! There was only outside seating available but it was a gorgeous late afternoon so we snagged a table near the entrance. The young waitstaff were friendly & courteous. We ordered fish & chips which was among the best versions I've ever had (& I'm 77!) The breading was light and crunchy with tender fish within. At tables nearby lots of orders of mussels & fish soup paraded by. Although not on the menu, we were able to order a large salad dressed lightly. Highly recommend!! read more

Oh my goodness! This tiny fish market place is oh so very good. My travel mate ordered the Fish soup & the fish and chips and it was all so very good. I ordered the fish and chips as well....wow, I ate all of my plate (left a few chips). The pickles and red onions such a nice touch and the fresh homemade tartar sauce was the bomb. Loved the service, our wait person was new and very sweet and if she didn't know the answer to our question, she found out very quickly. Several wait staff spoke perfect English. We ordered a bottle of wine to share and enjoyed the ambiance, which is very small space for dining in. Reservations are a MUST, if you are prone to claustrophobic tendencies this place may not be for you, just saying. During the day, the fish market is open for a couple of to-go items. If I lived in Oslo, I would live off the tartar sauce. It was that good. read more

The crispiest most delicious fish and chips I ever did have! I wish we didn't have fancy dinner plans a few hours after dining here or I would have ordered the whole menu.

MAKE A RESERVATION online. We waited for over an hour without a reservation. Decided it was too cold and we had to leave. We later learned you can make reservations online for the next day and there is always some availability. We ordered the Fish & Shellfish Casserole, the Fish & Chip, and the Fish Soup. The casserole blew me away. It came with mussels, prawns, fish, and snow crab legs. Absolutely delicious! The fish and chip was crispy and very fresh. But I am used to a little bit more seasoning. It came with this creamy green dip, which worked well to bring more flavor. The fish soup was delicious but compared to the one I had at Seaport Restaurant, it failed to amaze me. It did had a lot more variety of seafood and was good in its own way. Highly recommend this place! Quick busy and packed! read more

Worth the wait. The Que moves quickly. Enjoyed the Wonderful Fish Stew. The Fish and Chips are awesome!

Part Fish market and part Restaurant, Fiskeriet Youngstorget is one of many similar concepts found throughout Oslo, the fact that nearly everything served is caught locally that day assuring quality one might expect in a city surrounded by water. Offering a wide selection of fresh Fish and Shellfish by weight, plus a menu that changes with frequency, guests are invited to sit at high tables to slurp Oysters and sip Champagne or to enjoy a Beer with cheesy Fish Casserole or Gratin. Spanning the globe in terms of influence, Ceviche leaning into Peru complete with Sweet Potatoes and Corn, better choices include Bacalao Arancini served with Peppers or faultless Fish n' Chips served piping hot with Remoulade or Malt Vinegar to suit one's preference. read more

For a super delicious fish meal, Fiskeriet Youngstorget is the place! I was torn between ordering the Fish Soup vs the Fish & Chips and ultimately decided to get the latter since that's what I was feeling. Yes, it was super delicious, especially paired with a local brew on tap. If I'm ever back here, I will definitely get the Fish Soup because Norwegian Fish Soup is the truth! I've had it at other locations, but not at this local eatery. This establishment is also a fish shop so you can get a nice warm meal and afterwards purchase fresh fish to bring home and cook later. I'm a fan! read more

There is a line but the highly efficient staff turns the tables quickly. We waited about 15 minutes for a table outside. It was a beautiful night and there were heaters for the patio. We took the suggestions and ordered the fish soup and the fish and chips. Both dishes were delicious. The fish soup was light and delicious. The fish and chips came with a big piece of fish and crispy fries. Our server was quick, efficient and knowledgeable. One of the other tables had several questions about the beers and the oysters and she made wonderful suggestions. I highly recommend this restaurant. We didn't feel rushed even though they were slammed. The service and the food are wonderful. read more

It was our first time at Oslo, Norway and while venturing out into town, we walked through Oslo Street Foods and while that was temping, my wife said, hey let's try this Fiskeriet place as it has a lot of patrons. While we didn't have any reservation, we were seated outdoor within minutes. My wife ordered the salmon tataki for appetizer and wow, the freshness of the salmon along with the punch of the ponzu sauce really made that dish very light and refreshing. For main, she ordered the fresh prawns and again, the shrimps were extremely fresh, chilled and assortment in size. Good because we were afraid all the pieces would be tiny. My son got the fish and chips and he really enjoyed it. There wasn't a ton of batter on the fish and the piece of fish itself was large which was good as you didn't feel like you were eating thinly scraps. He also enjoyed the fries that accompanied it. I had the creamy fish soup and I was initially apprehensive at first as it was about 60 degrees Fahrenheit and the soup would be immediately cold when served. But glad to say, it was piping hot and you can taste the freshness of the salmon, mussels, potatoes, etc. Overall, food was exceptional and service outstanding. read more

Somehow it always rains when I visit Oslo. This time was no exception. I can't remember if I've been to this spot before or saw it on one of the food shows. I arrived around 6:30 on a Monday. There was a short line waiting for tables as only 1/2 of outdoor seating (covered) was available given continued chance of more rain. Cozy inside with a mix of high top and regular tables. I asked for a table outside as it was quite warm inside. Started with a Frydenlund (local) Pilsner and Creamy Fish soup. Pils was light and refreshing on this warm summer evening. Soup had a lighter cream and had mussels, salmon, cod-excellent starter and could be a meal if not very hungry. For main, ordered what seems to be their most popular dish-Fish and Chips. One of the best that I've had. Lightly fried so not greasy with a thick batter coating the light and flaky Cod. Remoulade was excellent! I almost ordered the Croquettes and saw an order at another table and they looked good. A few tables ordered the Fish/Shellfish Casserole & Fish Burger. By the time I got my main dish, they were full, busy and they had a queue waiting for a table. Service was affected but I liked the hustle and adjustments they made given the peak. Don't miss the Fish n Chips! read more

Simply the best fish and chips in Oslo. Perfectly battered with a nice crunchy crust on the outside and a flaky Cod on the inside. The accompanying fries and tartar sauce are equally as flavorful. It's that good. The seafood soup is also very delicious. Nice mix of seafood and a very tasty, creamy broth. Oysters and everything else was spot on fresh. Their online ordering system is a bit clunky and needs some refinement but otherwise this place is a must stop for seafood aficionados. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

Great little local spot for an unassuming meal. They also sell fish here so the seafood is so fresh. They quickly run out of dishes and we were lucky enough to nab the last set of fish cakes. They were absolutely phenomenal. And ever since I returned to the US, I've been trying to find gravlax like this with very little success. Stop by if you're in Oslo. You won't be disappointed! read more

Everything about our experience here was great. A really minimal menu of incredible food options that made it easy to choose from, and an extensive yet amazing drink menu.

Definitely recommend this place. They were pretty short-staffed, but once we were seated, service was good (just a bit slow). The food, though, is top-notch. My fish and chips were fresh and delicious! The fish was so tender and flaky, and they don't over-do it on the batter - it was light and crispy and perfectly salted. I had fish and chips at several different restaurants in Oslo, and this by far was the best. The fries were fresh and hot, and I really wanted to come back for more. When we were ready to pay, instead of waiting for the server to come to us, we just went inside (we sat outside) and let them know we were ready, and the server came over quickly. 10/10 will go here again. read more

This was my first meal of this trip and, if this was a sign of how the trip would go, I knew it was going to be great! This restaurant was excellent! It's right across a plaza with inside and outside seating. The inside looks almost like a little market, with a few high tables, and all the windows below the counter with fresh fish, vegetables, drinks, and more. The outside has the vibe of a French Café, where you seat to enjoy your drink and people watch. We chose outside. It was a cold night and they had heat lamps to keep us warm. We started with a couple of local beers they had on tap and while they brought those our we studied the menu (they have English version). They specialize in seafood, so if you are not a fan or allergic, stay away, otherwise make sure you bookmark them and make a point to go there when in Oslo. As soon as I saw the mussels on the menu I knew I had to have them. They didn't take long to bring my dish out and I was salivating with the smell and the look of it. You could tell the mussels were fresh, all perfectly opened when steamed and in a delicious creamy and flavorful sauce. On the side were the fries that we just heavenly when dunk in that sauce. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish was just perfection! I wish I could have it again right now. The fish soup was equally outstanding, served with toasted bread to dunk on the broth, and filled with mussels, salmon, fish, and more. Service was fast, friendly and prices were reasonable. Fresh food and exquisite flavors, made this one of my favorite finds of the trip. read more

Came here on recommendation from Anders Husa and it was a great idea. I'm reviewing the fish and chips. The crust on the fish was the best I've ever had. There was just enough sweetness and chewiness. The crust was thick. It was chewy. It was just incredible. The fish itself was good, but in parts it was a bit overcooked, likely due to the fact that it was not an evenly cut piece, so bits of it were thinner and exposed to too much heat. That said, at its best points, this was an incredible bit of fried fish. It's up amongst my favorites and should be on your list in Oslo. read more
