Hands up! Probably the best in town. Will come again definitely. Sunday's closed. Worths your money and staff is really helpful. A must try place. read more

My wonderful Oslo memory will not be completed without this restaurant. Fresh boiled shrimp, warm bread and yummy seafood soup, with a cup of house wine or apple juice, you owe a thank you to the Norwegian Sea. read more

Highly recommend all to consider doing takeout and not eating in the restaurant as it is way cheaper. Ordered: Bacalao and Fish & Chips and both dishes were tasty. However, the Bacalao was not very thick compared to other people's review and a little too tomaty for my liking (not sure if this is the norm in Norway). The portions are not very big either, which is another concern. This restaurant is also really packed with locals and tourists so I recommend coming here during non-peak hours. When it is really busy, there are barely any seats outside to sit on. And on a side note, the service was mediocre and the owner did not double check if he put everything into the take out bag. He was missing our fish cake (that came with our main meal) and it took awhile to get his attention to tell him that he forgot to give it to us. read more

There are very few tables and this is not a restaurant in the traditional sense. That said, the service was fairly attentive and the food was very tasty and fresh. Came in for dinner service around 8pm on a Saturday. Ordered the salmon tartar, bacalao and the creamy fish soup. The salmon tartar was excellently paired with a white bread. Easily one of the top 5 tartar's I've had in my years of tartar. Creamy fish soup was excellent, and included seafood of other variety as well (mussels, etc.) The best comparison I can think of is a savory new england clam chowder. Any case, excellent and great for a cold day. The bacalao was heavier on the tomato than I was expecting, and a heavier dish overall. I felt the portions were pretty big, but I'm not a big eater any more so others may disagree. I did order an appetizer which also limited my ability to eat volumes. The portions were entree sized (not french nor chichi) and properly norwegian, from what I could tell in my limited 2 week exposure to norwegian food. They have a good wine selection and a limited beer menu for those who are interested in the drink. I did not order the best wine for my dish which is on me, and not the restaurant. read more

I hate giving poor reviews due to bad service, but the service at Fiskeriet is just so down right terrible that it drags the entire experience down, good food not withstanding. I had lunch on a sunny Saturday in August, and, expectedly, the place was packed, both with locals and tourists. You order inside, and the woman at the counter was just plain unfriendly. The food also took a really long time to arrive (ca 40mins), and we were not given any attention by any of the waiters at all during our meal. Now, the food, which is almost good enough to brave the rubbish service for. We had fish and chips and mussels marinara, and both were fresh and very tasty (as you would expect from a restaurant that is also a fishmonger). Don't get me wrong, the seafood is really good, just nothing exeptional by way of flavours or originality. They deserve props for the wines, which were excellent, though. read more

I really liked the creamy fish soup. But I must agree that the service for a small restaurant was very confused. Cute place though In a good location. read more

Our first meal in Norway was at Fiskeriet. After wandering around a bit aimlessly (and through a couple of competing musical concerts), we ended up here because - well, seafood in Norway kind of made sense to try out! Even though it was a Saturday, though, Ordering at the front is pretty easy (and there are English-language menus), but surprisingly my first entree choice, as well as all oysters, were out of stock. This was disappointing, particularly since the weekend (at least in the U.S.) is often the time when restaurants / markets will have their best food available. In the end, I settled for the fish soup, while my wife went with the fish and chips. I did appreciate that they had a selection of Scandinavian crafts to choose from; I had a black IPA that was quite solid and a nice complement to the lighter seafood fare. Seating is a bit scarce inside save for limited bar seating, so we plopped ourselves at one of the tables outside, and our food was brought out relatively quickly. The fish and chips was definitely the better choice; the cod (I think?) was still very flaky on the inside, with only a light frying on the outside. Served with your standard tartar sauce, it was extremely good. The fries on the side were alright, if a bit light on the salt. As for the fish soup, it was solid, but I actually felt that it lacked the kind of flavor - and salt in particular - that would really make it the kind of hearty seafood dish one would expect. You get a piece of bread to dip in the soup as well, but I didn't come away all that impressed. In all, it's worth a stop for a casual meal, and like anything else in Norway, you'll probably feel you are overpaying a bit. That said, when the weather is nice, being right next to an open town square chowing down on traditional Norwegian seafood dishes isn't the worst thing in the world. read more

An old style fish shop that need to keep going especially in Oslo. Tucked next to the entrance (from Youngstorget) of Folketheatre, this is the only surviving fish market that I know of around the center. Offering fresh fish and some ready made stuff like bacalao, etc which you can find display in the fridge. There is also a very limited seating area inside with a small bar serving limited fish menu. Of course their most popular dish is the fish & chips. They charge 99kr for to-go or 149kr eat-in. You get ONE generous scrumptious piece of golden crispy beer battered fried fish with fries and some amazing house-made tartar sauce that has capers. Besides the huge serving of fish & chips I have had in Brighton, England many years ago, this was really one of the best! This is not the usual kinda fish you get from those joints but it's a much refined, less battered & more fish... You don't even need the malted vinegar!!! read more

Very good fish and chips, and a nice selection of oysters. Sadly I didn't ask about specials-- but they evidently had uni available when I was there, too! (argh!) Order at the bar, sit at a table or do takeout, enjoy a properly battered fish and chips served on a cast iron skillet, and admire the displays of smoked fish and raw fish in the market half. Delicious, but not quite to the level where I'd give it 5 stars. read more

This tiny fish shop double as a restaurant - needless to say, their fish and seafood was crazy fresh! The fish and chips was pretty good, and they have some delicious beer (which shares the same name as the shop). The only downside is that it's so small, it makes it difficult to get a place to sit. But that's what makes it so charming. :-) read more

Lovely place, fresh fish, good cocktail, we had some ceviche and fish&chips, very tasty!

Fresh seafood and good service. You have to remember to first select your table (bring table # sign to check out), select your food (menu or fish on ice), then pay. Then you just wait at your table for a prompt delivery. Sometime the line is unruly, but it will be worth. The food has a great presentation and huge portions. I had the mussel and frites. A huge pot of mussels with a large plate of fries. The stunning sunset on the harbor melted all my worries. No complaints here. Only 4 starts because the line can be better controlled. read more

A wonderful little hole in the wall. A fresh fish counter with the catch of the day and a small selection of Norwegian delicacies. On the opposite side is a small bar and seating area where they serve fish and chips, soups, oysters and other amazing dishes. All was good. read more

I wasn't expecting much from this place, food in Oslo has been mostly disappointing. The seafood may be fresh but doesn't mean it's prepared well or delicious. Fish and chips is something so simple that because of that it's hard to get it spot on. Even in London, there are few places that get both right. If the fish is good the chips are soggy, oily or too thickly cut. And if the chips are good, the fish is prepared in thin batter which makes it crumbly when fried. Fiskeriet is a gem. It's a small and unassuming restaurant with little seating and a small seafood market. Obviously the place smells very fishy when you enter but that's expected. We got take away which was much cheaper than dining in ( 95 vs 155) and devoured on the benches around youngstorget square. It was excellent. The fish was fresh and delicious and the chips were perfect. Definitely coming back again and wouldn't mind sitting in too. The service was friendly and we got the order in 15 minutes. Fish and chips in London costs much more than this too so I'm happy today and like Oslo a little bit better than yesterday :) read more

Really outstanding service and the fish soup was the perfect meal for a cold windy day. It's very cozy inside, with limited seating, but you can also opt to order takeaway for a small discount. read more

OMG! This was the best meal we've had in Oslo! The fish was so fresh and everything so delicious! We had the Bacalao and the Fiskernett Platter ......amazing! read more

This restaurant is really popular. It sells fresh fish in half the store and serves amazing seafood dishes on the other side. Though the restaurant section is fairly small, it works for this place. The routine, if you can find a table when you arrive grab it, then queue to order your food, pay for it, and it will be delivered to your table. Everybody seems to order the fish and chips, but they have other seafood which isn't fried. I went for the fish and chips and enjoyed it. The batter was quite delicious and different from anything I've experienced in the past. The fries thick were plentiful. read more

I was in the mood for some good sea food. This place delivered! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. read more

Fiskeriet - Food was super good! - Seafood Near Me - Oslo, 03

Meh. Fish and chips bland. Fish not fresh. The fries ugh. The casserole was decent. More like a stew but good tomato broth flavor. No lobster in it though it was represented as such. Super limited indoor seating. Not something I'd return to again. read more

Confession: I'm a vegetarian but was lured into this place while on vacation and knowingly risked a major case of bubbleguts . Let me tell you...those bubbleguts were soooo worth it! I ordered the bacalao and a glass of white wine and literally moaned while I was eating it. The fish was SO fresh and tender! It was slightly different than other bacalao's I've had many years ago...I think they put a Norwegian spin on it. But boy oh boy...add this place to your bucket list!!!! I'm so obsessed that I tell everyone I know who is headed to or passing thru Oslo to go here. I'm also do obsessed that I went here 3 times during my 5 days in the capital. read more

Fiskeriet - Bacalao!!! Soooo yummy - Seafood Near Me - Oslo, 03

Great, great seafood! All food was great. Our meals were about $25 each, but would have been $15 each if we would have got it to go. Our beers were $20 each, ouch! Skip the beer and eat your food in the square across the street (its like 10 steps away!). There is very limited indoor seating from what i could see, and about 8 small tables outside. Inside is where you order food and there is also a fresh fish market (so you know their fish is fresh). I recommend try it. It was pretty busy so thats usually a good sign. read more

Fiskeriet - About $25 per meal, but $15 per meal if you take it to go! Our beers were $20 each!!! - Seafood Near Me - Oslo, 03

This was the best fish and chips in town. My friend and I found the dish slightly too salty. I also tried the seafood, which was extremely fresh and with a generous size portion. read more

Great lace with good local food and great service. I had the mussels and my wife had the herring sandwich.

My husband and I stopped here because the creamy fish soup looked so good in the reviews. And let me tell you--it did not disappoint! I got the creamy soup and it was REALLY delicious (five star worthy). My husband got a soup with a tomato-based sauce and olives and it wasn't very warm (three stars). He ended up eating a lot of my soup. The bread was also really good and fresh, but that seems to be the norm in Norway. Would come back and get the creamy fish soup again and again if I came to Oslo often. read more

Delicious food! The muscles and Salmon burger were a hit! I definitely recommend trying some of the oysters as well!

modern but still authentic, streetfood style but still kinda upperclass. great stoop over for lunch or a casual dinner with drinks. friendly staff, super good looking, tasty and good variety of seafood from fish and chips to sashimi style fresh fish. of course 47€ for a starter, main and a beer are a bit overpowered. read more

Fiskeriet knows how to do fish and chips! For a quick meal and fresh seafood, it was just what I was looking for. There weren't too many tables left so I sat inside. It was neat to check out the fish market on the other side and all the people around. They do really good business and were really busy. I ordered a glass of wine and half a dozen oysters to start. Oysters were great and it came with a vinegar and chopped onion sauce. It was the first time I've seen that with oysters and it was pretty good. Then the fish and chips. The fish batter was crisp and fish was so good. Everything came out piping hot. The greenish tartar-like sauce was also good, I wish they provided a little bit more. I couldn't eat much of the fries, they were just mediocre in my book. With the fries, I feel like its a little too much fried food on a plate for me. Everything was fresh and delicious. Definitely worth a try if you are in Oslo. read more

Found it from Yelp, of course. Walking there from my hotel only took me eight minutes but spent 20 minutes waiting in line to get in. It was pretty crowded, so I had to sit in front of bar table. An order of Shellfish Platter was really too much for me, and still I managed to have it completed (did not touch bread at all for obvious reason) as this is soooo good. I had something sort of similar to this back in 2012 at another restaurant (with king crab and lobster, I could not finish it then either) and that cost me $150, thanks for strong dollar and right portion ordered this time, this did not even cost me half comparing to the last time. Although the place seems to be packed with people all the time, the service was really good on top of the taste of the food. Glad taking the seat where I picked, asked lots of questions, everyone smiled when answering. What a nice evening spent in my last day of my Norway business trip! read more

Wow. Wow... Never thought I'd say this but I've had a fishnchips that rivals, possibly surpasses, that of the boat in Astoria, Oregin... wow read more

This place sells fresh seafood and has a restaurant in it. The restaurant only has Norwegian menu, so the waiter will have to explain the whole menu to us in English. I tried their fish soup. It has different kinds of fish in it and some vegetables. It is not as heavy as it looks. It looks beautiful and tastes good until I try the cold plate with shrimps, 2 oysters, 1 langoustine and mussels. The mussels are the best of all. They are so fresh and the soup is even better than the fish soup! It's probably one of the best I've ever had. The shrimps are a bit salty, but it tastes better with some lemon juice. The oysters are ok. Oysters in northeast US are better. The langoustine is pretty fresh. They also have cold plate for 2 with different kinds of smoked fish or fish in sauces. It's good to taste a bit of everything. read more

A friend of mine suggested this restaurant and I'm so glad I did. Love the food! Fish and chips are my favorite!

Yes! Excellent fish.... Chips not so much. But that's from an American who likes real pieces of potato fried, not mashed potatoes fried. Great setting, good beer. read more

Good place for fish and chips. Sitting outside right next to the plaza. Their fish stew is also pretty tasty.

Highly recommend this place. You can sit in the restaurant area and still order fresh seafood salads from the fish monger. Seafood salads were excellent esp. the shrimp w/ dill and the Bacalo was to die for. read more

Good food, traditional Norwegian fish dishes, horrible services ! The fish cake was really tender, served with a "béarnaise ". read more

We arrived two people wanted to buy fish and chips on the go. After paying we had to wait for half an hour! The store was full but only one person was really working - the cashier! All personell was either chatting or checking their phones. Some of them were eating at the back. That is the most horrible service experience ever! Horrible even on local standards! The actual food we bought was just OK. Not really good but not disgusting either. read more

Mom insisted we check this place out. Seafood was pretty fresh - had myself some creamy mussels and parents ordered the gargantuan seafood platter. Unfortunately the selection was pretty limited and options were pretty pricey. Was forced inside on a lovely day because the only remaining outdoor spot was subject to a constantly blowing warm machine-generated wind (probably from A/C). read more

Our first stop in Oslo was delicious but very expensive! Two drinks and two fish/chips cost about $70 US which was a bit steep for us but the fish was super fresh, so it wasn't a total loss. The fish wasn't severely fried, but just enough to give a good crunch. Chips were salty and delicious. Recommend it if you aren't in a budget and want fo try some yummy Norwegian fare. read more

Their bacalao was delicious. I don't go to the same place to eat when I am traveling but I was so tempted to go back. read more
