This was by far the best fish and chips I have ever had, and I lived in the UK for 9 months. We only visited Oslo for 2 days and, mindful of its reputation for expensive meals, tried to choose where we ate pretty carefully. We ended up having dinner on our first night at Fiskeriet and I cannot recommend it more highly. Most Oslo restaurants charge extra to eat your meal inside, and we got our fish and chips to go. There is limited seating and, if you choose to eat on site, you will likely be at the crowded bar or a high-top table near the windows. Fiskeriet is not about the atmosphere- the exceptional food is more than enough. In addition to the incredible fish and chips (which come with fries and a good selection of sauces), we also got the excellent bacalao soup. I can't recommend the fish and chips here highly enough. If you are visiting Oslo, this should definitely be one of your stops. read more

Fiskeriet - Fish & chips and bacalao to go! - Seafood Near Me - Oslo, 03

WOW!!!! Worst service ever!!!! I have had bad service in my 45 years but this was the worst ever with a large amount of hostility. I rarely have left, if ever, a bad review. I won't go into lengthy detail but The two culprits were a thin blond girl with overall rudeness that another customer couple, having just sat down, were already demanding a different waitress. The other culprit was a short dark haired Spanish accented lady that was hostile from the first interaction and just got worse until finally she disappeared by the end so maybe she quit. She was beyond rude , but hostile and entirely incompetent. Food was okay. read more

Good, fresh seafood. Outdoor seating next to nice public square. Service fairly quick. Prices very reasonable by Oslo standards

Came due to high comments, and the first view was quite good. While bacalao was too salty and cooked too much. Quite unsatisfactory to be honest. read more

I love this place, i go there often and my favorite is th fish and shellfish casserole, its heavenly! Dont eat the salmon tartar, its very salty. After or before y eat check out the fish shop part, allways fresh fish, allways seasonal. read more

My family and I are in Oslo for a few days visiting from NYC and i stumbled upon this place on Yelp. We waned a light dish so we ordered a fish soup and two orders of fish and chips with 2 beers and 2 sodas (roughly $85). Unfortunately they were out of fish cakes by 3, so they must be delicious as well. Great find , wish i could go back all the time... read more

Fiskeriet - Seafood Near Me - Oslo, 03

The fish&chips here is supernice, the price is fair and the staff is warm and welcoming!

It is quite inconsistent. We tried the seafood casserole. Mine was flavorful but salty whereas my friend, who ordered the same thing, did not have any flavor. For dinner we thought we'd try it again. My fish and chips were okay but not quite up to par and my friend's Bacalao was also nothing to call home about. However, this place has potential. read more

This place is pretty much perfect. Great, fresh seafood served in a market/gastropub environment, ample outdoor seating in the middle of Oslo. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for quality seafood at what passes for a reasonable price in this most expensive country I've ever been to. A quick walk from Oslo central station right in a cool square. If you way a solid standard, go with the delicious fish and chips, if you want to get adventuresome they have an amazing seafood medley with all sorts of delicious crab, fish, mussels, in a wonderful broth. Highly recommended for anyone visiting, and appears generally popular with locals as well. read more

Loved this place! Muscles were fantastic. Went back a second time during my stay in Oslo.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not a fish person. The chips were enjoyable and I loved the tiny bar area for people watching.

I had a really nice bacalao here that was recommended by the staff. I did takeout to make it more affordable. It was a thick filling soup with good chunks of fish in it. read more

Last few times the quality of the fish n chips as really dropped :( chips are never hot either.

So rich and flavorfull, not over powering, just right. Interesting combination of spices and using mushroom soup as a base for their fish soup. They know their seafood !!! read more

Two-thirds fish shop, one-third restaurant Fiskeriet serves some of the freshest fish dishes in Oslo. The fish & chips is served on faux newspaper which gives the dish that straight from the "chippy" charm, but the quality easily surpasses anything I've ever had in the UK. The bar is usually quite full after work, but if you are patient you can usually find somewhere to squeeze in. They offer take-away as well (which is quite a bit cheaper), but it is worth the extra money eating in. It's worth taking a couple of minutes to browse through the shop portion of Fiskeriet while waiting for your food. In addition to all the fresh fish, the shelves are well stocked with interesting sauces. The only down side is the short opening hours in the winter. read more

Very fresh & simple seafood dishes in a casual but trendy market setting. I highly recommend the fish cake with a slice of bread or the fish & chips. Everything is fresh and made to order - nothing frozen. I came here on an afternoon on two occasions and enjoyed a casual, inexpensive, and speedy meal with a fresh beer. Check it out. read more

Fish and chips were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. It was a little busy, but the servers were really nice and helpful. Good place to pop in and get some lunch, it's pretty casual. Beware, it is a fish restaurant, and they sell fish out of cases, so it does smell quite strong at first, but not unbearable. read more

$30 usd for fish, chips, and a draft beer..... Welcome to Oslo! Very tasty fish (cod) and chips.... Condiments on the bar were nearly empty, everyone shared which I loved though some may find it intrusive... They included red vinegar, sweet catsup, and Cholula. Sat at the bar, the only seats left...Bars stools were a little tippy, but fun once you get used to them... Busy takeout business but still got lots of attention from the staff... Food served hot...very pleased. read more

My friend and I were looking at cheap, but good places to eat because WOW, is Norway expensive! We stumbled upon this place on yelp and decided to try the fish and chips and the salmon burger. The guy at the counter was really nice and helped us out with the menu. They also have an English menu, so be sure to see that! The fish was moist and melted in your mouth, but salty (realized that salty food is a "tradition" in Norwegian food- there goes my sodium intake for the week!) the salmon burger was a bit dry but I could only really taste all the greens in the burger, which were really nice, but overwhelmed the taste of the salmon. Also, as previous reviewers have said, take it to go! 99 krona for take away and 149(?) for stay-in dining. They also sell fresh seafood, so if you're in the mood to cook your own fish instead of buying it pre made, try it here, though unsure how the prices are compared to regular fish shops. I'd give this place 3 1/2 stars because I'm not a fan of salty food and the salmon burger kinda ruined the meal for me. read more

Wow, that was a great meal. It's a order at the bar and they bring your food + a fish market. Considering it was in a fish market, it was immaculate. We split a dozen of the best (French) oysters I've ever had (though spendy). We also had the Bacalao (very good) and their fish soup with smoked cod (excellent). The staff was very friendly and took great pride in their restaurant, making it a really enjoyable place to eat. You can be in and out of this place in well under an hour, and it might be the best food in Oslo if you've only got an hour and it's before 7pm. read more

We got the fish and chips take away and even after walking the 2 blocks back to our hotel, the fish was still too hot to eat and the chips still crispy! Delicious moist fish-not at all over cooked. And the sauce they include is really tasty and a little unusual. I couldn't identify the spice but loved it. A nice cheap (relatively speaking-it was 95 NOK about 15 bucks American) delicous meal. read more

One of my favorite places we ate in all of Scandinavia! Best in Oslo, by far. Small but worth the wait!

3 stars for now, though I may have been more impressed if I didn't order fish and chips, which were average relative to any other dish of fish and chips I've eaten in other big and little cities around the world. The place is small, which can feel cramped, and I wish I would have heeded the advice of other Yelpers and ordered to go. The servers were nice enough. The music was distracting; sugary sweet Mid-Eastern romantic ballads and generally inconsistent with the younger hipster/young professional clientele. read more

the seafood is very fresh and tasty! amazing place. I ordered seafood which has salmon, lobster leg, scallop and so on and also today's spacial mussel with pasta. The hasa beer is a good drink. read more

The best and cheapest meal we had in Oslo! Sun was out, fish and chips amaaaaazzzingg with super glass of Vino to boot. Can be hard to get a table but worth the wait ;-) read more

Small, but great atmosphere and feels authentic despite the tourists present. Fantastic fish and chips, batter tasted like a 'fish donut'. Fish soup was perfect. read more

I have been to Fiskeriet several times. The seafood is very good, although they sometimes run out of popular dishes. It isn't a great venue in the winter as it is a bit cramped and characterless inside (and they close quite early), but during the summer it is a delight to sit outside on the sunshine. Recommended. read more

Decent food and ok customer service Ordered the fish and chips and the local platter with a beer. Fish was a bit overcooked and not to my liking. The other platter was good. Next time I think I'll try the oysters and mussels. read more

Fish and chips were amazing! Very small seating area but worth the wait! Would eat here again, all the other dishes I saw looked just as great! read more

The food was too salted and the price was not cheap. Most eaters were foreigners introduced by visitor center.

This place is the real deal, you really can't go wrong. The creamy fish soup is delicious. read more

Fiskeriet - Cremy fish soup - Seafood Near Me - Oslo, 03

Fish cakes, fish and chips and a hansa. Really nice atmosphere and amazing food. Would recommend.

This was our first restaurant in Norway and we were not disappointed. We ordered a fish sandwich and bacalao which were recommended by the waitress. Both were delicious. She also recommended local beers to accompany with the food and they were also fantastic. It's a small place but good service overall. read more

Great seafood dishes served up quick and easy. Lots of great Norwegian seafood and nice outdoor seating. Not the most service minded waiters but seemed more like a self service joint read more

I have eaten here allot, the food is good and the atmosphere is authentic fish bar/shop the menu verys everyday depending of the fish They have in house. The take way menu is very Good and the price is perfectly priced for take away. But if you eat innhouse you the price is almost duble :-( The food is good but the straff is a bit sloppy and that is so anoying when you sit at the bar to eat and you can ser everything they do. read more

Best value fish'n chips in Oslo! What more can I say? They do a range of good fish options, take away or eat in. Nice casual atmosphere.

i think norwegians are very polite and do not seem to be critical of the quality of food or the price they all spend to enjoy it. i have traveled to oslo and this country many times and have always been surprise and saddened about the quality and limited choices of food in this country. oslo is their biggest town and it has more diversity than any other place in the country. one would think that diversity would translate into a higher variety and quality of food. not so much!!! i have yet to eat or meet anyone that i would consider a serious foodie in this country. the selection in the market is dismal because there is only 2 companies that control what everyone eats or buys in the shop. the quality and selection is still very limited but i know that most norwegians think its great. if you compare this place to the north pole, then its awesome! this Fiskeriet is a prime example of what i have experienced in norway. this place has an actual fish market and a small restaurant attached. its charming, clean, polite and nice looking. it has the potential to be something really great because of the fresh fish selection they sell. instead, it is no more than a generic so so seafood place that i could get anywhere in California. this was suppose to be a reasonable place for other reviewers. totally nuts!!! the difference in price for fish and chips to eat there was 199kr and to go was 99kr, i thought it was insane. i also ordered the fish soup and it resembled a watery fish chowder, for 129kr. it was no bigger than a medium cup. the fish and chips had a very greasy batter and the fries were nothing special. it was one small piece of fish and the size of a medium fries for 99kr, about US$14. it was just greasy, tasteless and i had to bathe it with ketchup to make it tolerable. we took it to go and ate it in the hall located right inside the building. the soup was so watery and short of any iflavor. it tasted as if the cook/chef did not care or tasted the finished product. both dishes had fresh fish but no flavor what so ever. they could have used some Old Bay Seasoning, cream, leek, celery and shallots to add some content into the soup. i have tried so hard to tolerate the crazy prices of dining in norway in my search for some great or just decent food. i have yet to find it. i would love to see some decent chefs and investors from the US to come here and raise the bar of good or fine dining to norwegians. i know norwegians have the money but have not experienced great food to know that this place is just very, very average. read more

Great place for lunch. It is a fish monger market and lunch place in one, which makes me love this place all the more! There is a bar counter for lunch service and a few small tables, but otherwise that is it for seating. You can see the fresh seafood counter and where they cut the fish so you feel as though your seafood can't get fresher than this. My husband ordered the fish and chips. They did an amazing job with the fish and chips, the batter for the fish was tempura like batter so it was nice and light and the piece of fish was a gigantic size. I ordered the sashmi and was in sushi heaven. The fish tasted so fresh and practically melted in my mouth. I thought the price for my sashmi was very reasonable considering that it would have cost me a fortune in Zurich for the same amount of fish and would not have been as fresh! I would definitely come here again the next time I am in Oslo! Our friend ordered the Bacalao which he loved. read more

Bacalao was excellent with a hint of hot Spanish paprika. The mussels in cream sauce where tender and plump. Prices are reasonable. You order and pay at the bar and go find a table. Service is friendly and fast. Great place! read more

Our last Friday night in Oslo, we got started late to begin with and arrived at Fiskeriet an hour before closing. The first two things I ordered were sold out, which turned out to be a lucky thing. The staff sold me on the herring in three sauces, and it was unbelievable. Put aside whatever preconceptions you might have and try it if you have a chance. We had no trouble getting a seat, though we were there later and off season. The staff were extremely friendly and the prices reasonable, you know, for Norway. Highly recommended. read more
