Norwegian seafood near Aker Brygge



Lobsters and crabs in driftwood-styled tanks beckon gawkers in at this dapper seafood restaurant/gourmet market fronting the fjord near Aker Brygge. Servers intone that almost 80 per cent of the food served comes from Norwegian waters, with the menu changing twice monthly. If you’re lucky enough to find halibut from Nordland or king crab from Varanger on that list, it’s not to be missed. White-linen-topped tables glow with candlelight and floor-to-ceiling windows bring the glittering water views inside.
