Stopped off here on our way back from the nearby Maritime museum. I'd researched the area and a few…read morebloggers had recommended this place. From the outside it looked no different than any other harbor front eatery, but once inside we were immediately taken by the warm and cozy feel of the restaurant. With a name such as Fishland we obviously opted for fish. My friend took the salmon in butter based jus and I went for the monkfish in a lobster sauce with vegetables and jacket potatoes. Both pieces of fish were moist and cooked perfectly, a sheer delight. Accompaniments were spot on too, with the asparagus, broad beans and broccoli just right with a delicate crunch to them. All in all it was very nice, and considering the alternatives in the area I would recommend trying this one, though it is a tad more expensive.

Probably one of the best meals that we had on our trip to Norway was our very first night in Oslo…read moreat 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.

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.

The Salmon was another seafood restaurant on our list of places to eat while in Oslo…read more It was located in Aker Brygge which was a newer and expensive neighborhood. There was both indoor and covered outdoor seating. We did not have a reservation but came early enough to snag an inside table. It was the right choice as the rain really started to come down about that time. One caveat was that we had to wrap up our meal within 1.5 hours which wasn't a problem for us. The menu was unique as it was printed inside a newspaper. One just had to flip pages to find the drink, food and dessert menus. Given the namesake of the restaurant we opted to try three different salmon preparations: Our favorite dish was the salmon tataki which was lightly grilled in a ponzu sauce. If it was larger then we would've gladly eaten this as a main dish. The grilled salmon came in second as it was perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes were a great accompaniment, creamy with truffle flavors. Our least favorite was the hot smoked salmon and pasta salad. There was an unusual taste to the pasta salad that detracted from the salmon. Service was just ok and it took a long while before we could get any attention to close our check. While tipping wasn't expected in Norway, the Salmon's credit card terminals start with a tipping option screen before you can pay. If you're curious about salmon farming in Norway then check out the exhibit at the other end of the restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic! When I was looking into restaurants in…read moreOslo, this place was on the top of the list! The quality of Salmon in Norway is amazing! Definitely a must try experience! The Salmon does an excellent job of showcasing the fresh and wonderful quality of salmon in many different dishes. The tasting plate was one of the best dishes they had. There were three different pieces of salmon with different accompaniment. I don't remember the exact cuts, but one was Lox, and the other was a cold smoke. My guest got a ginger salmon salad she loved. We also got the torched salmon nigiri to taste. The hype is real! This is definitely a must try! They get extremely busy, so a reservation is a must! They had indoor and outdoor seating with a heated patio (it was a bit chilly when we were there).

This is usually a clear sign that something is amiss. We were seated in a long table section and our menu had been pre-ordered ahead of time. We could either order the salmon or the game stew. The meal included a beer or wine as well. When one person in our group asked for a simple cup of hot water, the server flatly refused and said it wasn't part of the agreed upon menu. Another person asked if she could change her dessert because she was a diabetic. Again, we got a complete refusal to be accommodating. The food was decent, but nothing worth putting up with cold, unhelpful, and indifferent service for. I can see why the locals don't eat here.
