I can hardly find the words to adequately describe our experience at Göstas Fiskbutik, it was that incredible. We've been living in Norway for about 5 months now, and decided to venture to Sweden for a weekend since a friend was visiting from Seattle. We all love seafood and were definitely in the mood for something great, and Göstas Fiskbutik delivered!
We showed up on Saturday around 11:30 but sadly they weren't open until noon... no problem, we went down the dock a bit for some coffee and a muffin. By the time we worked our way back it was about 12:30 and it was pretty full already! We sat up at the bar that faces out towards the dock and water, talk about great view! Our waiter, I can't remember his name, he was awesome! Super service, one of those that realizes your needs before you even have to ask.
We had several beers, the moules frites and the seafood platter. OUTSTANDING seafood! We ate every scrap. I couldn't get over the taste of the shrimp, it was the best ever. The crayfish, the rock crab, the mussels, man oh man. I literally want to rent another car and head down this weekend for more :) Any visitors while we live in Norway will be treated to a journey to Göstas Fiskbutik, and Sweden in general. We had the greatest food, views, and met the nicest locals. If you're in the area you have to visit Göstas Fiskbutik, heck even if you aren't, it's worth planning a special trip to Smögen. read more
