Hands down, awesome. Whenever I visit Turku, this is one of my first stops. They're set up for…read moretake-away (no seating) -- but I usually ask for a paper plate (to eat ASAP, need the instant gratification) and get a sampler of 5-6 different things: Shrimp salad, crayfish salad, whitefish, herring, roe, and... salmon carpaccio. Which, by the way, is a total religious experience. In my opinion, it rivals some of the best salmon sashimi in Tokyo. The staff is friendly and super-helpful. On a slow afternoon, one of the guys actually pulled out a burner and pan fried a blini to go with my fish roe! (which was beyond delicious). Herkkunuotta is 1 of 2 fish stalls in the Kauppahalli.

Both dishes were really good. The pizza crust was good and surprisingly the toppings worked well together and didn't feel like a dessert pizza.

Everything was excellent. In addition to what's on the menu they also have a revolving selection of desserts each day--I wound up ordering a piece of off menu white chocolate cheesecake. We dined indoors, but they also have outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the river. Definitely recommend this place, especially if it's a Sunday and you're lacking in good options.
