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.

The portion was huge, you'd never get such an amount of fish in your plate back in France! The vegetables accompanying it were also very tasty. The people I went there with ordered the Bouillabaisse which, despite being really different from the real French one, was also really good from what they said. All in all, a good seafood address in Drøbak that you should try as soon as possible! If you're feeling a bit cold, which happened to me even on an August evening, don't hesitate to ask the staff for a blanket: they will kindly give you one and you can then enjoy the rest of your meal warmly and also enjoy the nice view over the fjord, which is another good point about this restaurant. The prices are expensive, but that's Norway for you.

An amazing meal followed by an educational experience? Yes, please! I had no idea that Norway was…read moreso renowned for their salmon! Coming from Seattle, another salmon capital, we had to try it out. We came for a late lunch around 2:00P and were seated immediately on the covered patio. The menu features hot and cold salmon dishes alongside a selection of sushi. Our waitress said that their most popular item is the Grilled Salmon, served with mashed potatoes and broccolini. + SALMON SUSHI PLATTER: This plate of 20 pieces contained salmon sashimi, salmon nigiri and spicy salmon maki. The fish was extremely fresh with a smooth buttery texture and a vibrant color. The sashimi was topped with black fish roe and spring onion while the nigiri had an ideal rice-to-fish ratio. I loved the salmon maki as well, although I wouldn't consider it spicy at all. Highly recommended! + SALMON TRILOGY: Cold-smoked, hot-smoked and cured salmon, each with an accompanying dipping sauce (I believe they were a creamy horseradish, mustard and crème fraîche). This was a fun dish to share, served with bread and butter that tasted great as-is or topped with the salmon. + GRILLED SALMON: Simply seasoned and flavored from the grill, this plate lets the natural quality of the salmon shine. The menu stated that it's cooked to medium unless otherwise requested, but to us, it seemed closer to medium-well. No complaints though; it was still moist and delicious! The sides of potatoes and broccolini were perfect pairings, making for a well-rounded meal. + SIDE OF BROCCOLINI: This isn't a menu item, but we requested six spears to add some extra greens and they only charged us a few dollars. The spears were crunchy and lightly salted. After our meal, we went inside to their educational center. Our guide started us off with a short video about Norway's salmon farming and then led us into their "control room" where he shared deeper insights. He was so knowledgeable about the industry! Here are some facts we learned: * Salmon get their pink color from the saltwater oceans since they eat krill, small crabs, etc. Freshwater salmon have white or pale flesh. * Norwegians believe fresh salmon must be enjoyed within 21 days and they will not freeze nor can it. Any canned salmon that you see in the country is canned elsewhere and then shipped back. * Norway exports salmon to 110 countries. They are raised in farms within the fjords! This was one of my favorite meals in Norway for the spectacular food, fantastic service and new learnings!

It was a nice evening since it wasn't raining in Oslo so we circled back to an outdoor place along…read morethe harbor for an early dinner. A great dining environment. This was a more casual outpost of their regular restaurant across the way. The menu was smaller so no salmon soup for example but we did get the grilled salmon. It was lightly grilled and almost a bit too rare for my wife who hates overcooked salmon. She really did enjoy it since this salmon was so fresh. The serving was a decent size and the bed of mashed potatoes was very good (lots of butter)! Service was lightning fast. Prices were reasonable for Norway ( which means expensive compared to most other places).

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.

Another person asked if she could change her dessert because she was a diabetic. Again, we got a complete refusal to be accommodating.
