Anita's Sjømat - Reine

Absolutely love this fish market/restaurant. They sell a wide variety of fresh fish, including salmon sashimi and smoked steak. We came here to sit down for a quick bite and ordered the shrimp, fish soup, and classic fish burger. The shrimp was delicious and I'm not normally a fan of cold shrimp. The fish soup was super flavorful and had huge chunks of fish in it, I just wish it was a little creamier like the ones I had in Bergen. The classic fish burger was great, but one thing to note is that it's not fried fish but more of a fishcake patty. They have a lot of other burger options too including shrimp and salmon so we will definitely be back during our time here since our rorbuer is so close by!

Came here because it was recommended by our Air BnB host it was among the few concrete suggestions I found when researching Lofoton Islands. FOOD: Husband and I enjoyed our cod fish burger, but it came with way too much sauce. Food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. Burger did not include a side nor any tomato slice. Fish cakes from the grocery stores were actually better! Overall 8/10 They also have a cafe bar (coffee, tea) and boast several dessert options. AMBIANCE: Seating is plentiful indoors and out. There's also a gift shop with some local items to check out. Views are beautiful, of course. OTHER/BONUS: play structures for kids and lots of high chairs available.

On a cold rainy day in February, we found ourselves taking a leisurely lunch here at Anita's Sjømat on Lofoten. I am traveling through Norway this week, and stopping every day at different places. We lined up on a busy afternoon and watched as the lovely ladies behind the counter handled everyone with aplomb, and with a smile. I saw several options and settled on the Poo Bear sandwich, but for me, being gluten free, without the buns. Mine came with a salad and a fish cake made from potato starch and fish. It had a delightful texture and nice flavors. It was so good but for me, I wanted more. I also ordered the fish soup. It was creamy and delicious, packed with seafood! My friend had crab legs which he reported were good but not enough for a meal. So he too had another lunch plate and was happily satisfied after. We both had fresh brewed coffee and that too was exceptional. Loved the food and the atmosphere, I highly recommend!!

The whale tartare was uniquely amazing! Def not something you see often. It's paired with a sesame soy sauce which is def goes better with. The fish sandwiches are what theyRe known for. And although I'm not huge on fried anything, the fried fish sandwiches here lived up to the hype. Fresh ingredients that combine sooo well. Cool gift shop, bakery and drinks are offered here as well. Well worth a stop on your way to Reine!!

Stunning location, fantastic collection of dried fish and unusual snacks, and of course the fish burger was seriously delicious. Highly recommend! Low-key and memorable.
