This was a recommendation from a travel guide and man, did it hit the spot. our first meal in Stockholm after some random wandering in the neighborhoods around the hotel, we headed to this market and downstairs to Kajsas Fisk. There was a short queue but it moved quickly. My friend chose the "half" fish & chips with wine. A bargain for SEK140 and yes, a smaller portion but perfect as a lunch. Two decent sized pieces of fried fish and a small pile of french fries. It looked great. I knew I wanted the fish soup and that's what I ordered, adding a draft beer. The soup was bonkers. Full of fish, full of flavor, absolutely heavenly. The restaurant has a "condiments bar" with fresh bread and salad. I just had two pieces of bread which I used to mop up the bottom of the bowl of soup. [Review 18009 overall - first review in Sweden - 1530 of 2022.]
If you come to this food market, kajsas fisk is located on the bottom floor. The grilled salmon was just ok. It was overcooked and didn't wow us. The fish soup was the star of the show. Super super flavorful and get some of the free bread so you can dip it in! It was the best fish soup I've ever had. The employees bring out your food so just help yourself to bread, salad and water.
The fish soup was delicious. I think the blob on top is some kind of mayonnaise. Not quite a fan of it and took it out the soup. The soup may not look delicious but the taste was definitely good. With a order of soup, you get free self serve salad and bread. Their menu isn't in English.
Located inside the Hötorgshallen (food hall) where there is a selection of food purveyors to choose from, I went downstairs to find Kajsas Fisk to try their famous fish soup for 130 SEK. Unsurprisingly, there is a line people (which hides the English menu) waiting to get a big bowl of soup and other fish delights. Thankfully, the line moves fast and the cashier ladles you your bowl of soup. After getting your bowl, you get your bread and butter which are located next to the utensils and choose a table. Tasting like cioppino, the soup tasted great with pieces of fish and a few tiny shrimp and mussels. For the next time, a server recommended the Swedish style fried herring. I can't wait.
There are really tasty and good place Counter is no need table charge Free salad. If you go there please order a soup it's really tasty one
Four very important words of advice: get the fish soup. It's massive, full of wonderful seafood (fish, shrimp, mussels), and a flavorful dollop of cream on top. Don't forget the unlimited bread and salad. For a little more than $10, this meal is incredible.
The hype is real! Their restaurant is located in the lower level of the food hall. Once you're at the bottom of the escalator you can't miss it. You grab a tray, get in line, place your order, and pay. If you order the fish soup, they give it to you right then, if you order something else, you'll get a number. Seating area gets super packed - you'll have to sit with strangers (which isn't a big deal). They do have someone directing people to seats that open up. Once you're seated, be prepared to taste the best fish soup I've had hands down. Had huge chunks of fish and the broth tasted so good. Great for dipping the free bread and salad! They also refill up to half the bowl, but I was super stuffed from one bowl so I didn't.
It was weird and difficult finding this place, it was in the basement with a rather large line. No windows or natural light but boy did they make it up with the incredible food!!! That Kajsas fish soup disk was so delicious! Can't describe the flavors of the red broth as it was nothing I have ever eaten before. They also added freshly cooked seafood with prawns, clams, 2 other types of fish and some aioli. The fish n chips and broiled salmon were both appetizing as well. Surprised this place didn't have 1000's of reviews by now.....
Fish, fish everywhere Sometimes I wonder why fish-based meals are popular in Sweden, for example sushi . But this fish soup was my first try. It was tasty . It comes with bread and salad. Both are free to refill. It's always packed with people during the lunch time. Better come earlier.
A wonderful find for some affordable, fresh seafood dishes! The menu is small but oh so delightful. Of course, everyone comes for the infamous fish soup which is great but if you're coming with others, why not try a few different dishes? Kajsas Fisk is located downstairs amongst some other exciting food stalls/vendors selling things from seafood, meats, cheeses, jams, sweets, dried fruit and nuts, etc.
Definitely a must stop in Stockholm especially if you're looking for a good, relatively cheaper meal! Kajsas Fisk is located downstairs (Stall #14) in the Hötorgshallen Food Court - look for the giant neon lettering outside from Kungsgatan (the street right in front of the building). The plaza in front of the building typically has a Farmer's Market. Ordered the Fish Soup per all the raving reviews and my friend's recco. The fish soup is basically like a Swedish Cioppino! Like cioppino, it looks to be tomato-based and is brimming with seafood - mainly fish though. They added a dollop of cream/mayo(?), which I found interesting as I've never had any kind of fish stew with any "diary". But, if you mix the cream into the soup, it doesn't really taste like anything. For ~$14, you can get TWO bowls of soup! Just bring your bowl up for a free refill. Also, free bread & "salad" is not too shabby either.
This place is just awesome. I stumbled across it on yelp when looking for a seafood place and I am so glad I did! After spending a week in Stockholm, this place is definitely my favorite. It is very close to Stockholm centrale so it can get a bit crowded and touristy but the food is so delicious and also cheaper than most other places!! The first time I came I tried the fried herring with potatoes and the fish soup. Both were very good but the fish soup really wowed and I craved it my entire trip to the point where I came back! I tried fish soup at other places but this was definitely the best because the broth was the most flavorful and there is a very generous portion of fish. Plus unlimited bread to dunk in the broth and salad. Seating can be limited but definitely come and check this place out!
Kajsas Fisk was included in on our final Stockholm tour and to be honest, I'm not sure if the tour (like many of the other shops we visited with them) chose a bad option for the tasting, or if I just didn't care for their wares. My favorite item was the mini shrimp toast, it was tasty, but no option was given for the person allergic to shrimp and it was placed on the same plate. The honey enjoyed the salmon and I liked the soup (which was salmon free), but nothing I had was something that would bring me back. The service was prompt and the cozy space has quite a bit of seating, but Kajsas Fisk was more of a 3.6 for me and likely not a spot I'd recommend. read more

This is an unassuming cafeteria-style restaurant, located in the basement food hall of Stockholm shopping mall. This is probably the busiest restaurant in the food hall, but the line moves fast, even on a Saturday for lunch. It is famous for their fish soup. Everyone has to try the tomato based broth with fish fillet pieces, small shrimp and mussels. If you have the baked salmon, it's only for the dill mustard sauce. The portion isn't massive, but the small help-yourself buffet bar for salad and bread makes up for it. read more

I've been thinking about Kajsas Fisk for years, ever since the last time we came here. It's probably not quite as amazing as my tastes have changed over the years but it is still delicious and now nostalgic as well. For 145SEK you get a big bowl of fish soup with chunks of fish, mussels, and small shrimp. Salad, bread and butter are at a self serve buffet. There is plenty of seating for this restaurant. We really enjoyed our meal. They are located in the lower level of an indoor food hall. read more

It is located on the bottom floor of a mall, the area is a bit tight, but it moves in and out pretty fast (well, for European standard) For 100 SEK ($11), The fish soup is on point....it is almost as good as the Visby Bakfickan's soup. Worth a visit if you are looking for a good meal on budget. read more

I couldn't really seem to find many authentic Swedish restaurants, so this one is a gem! Located in the basement of Hötorgshallen market near the Hötorget Tunnelbana. Such a simple menu, but so good! I highly recommend the salmon - can be boiled or fried and comes with potatoes cooked to your choice. There is self-serve bread and salad by the order counter with salt, butter, and olive oil. So nice! Tight dining area but the food is delicious! Kajsas Fish Soup is refillable! Highly recommend if you are in Stockholm! read more
Wow, an awesome hidden gem of Stockholm. In the basement of a food hall/market, Kajsas Fisk serves a variety of seafood dishes at a bar and takeaway counter with seats nearby. The star of the show is the Fisk Soup, an extremely generous bowl of fish soup with a dollop of some kinda cream sauce for ~$12 USD. Loaded with fish, shrimp, and mussels, the broth is light and tomato based and is a meal in and of itself. Also included is unlimited self serve bread and side salad, so you've got some accoutrements on the side if you so desire. Great stop, super authentic and just the right thing for a cold or wet day in Stockholm. read more

A. Maz. Ing. The food was so delicious and perfect for what it is. (Which is essentially a more-upscale-than-dive fish shop in the basement of a food market.) I originally ordered a fillet of cod with egg & horseradish, but they came over a few minutes later to let me know they were all out of the cod. Not a big deal...I was having a hard time deciding between that and rmthe fish soup, so I just swapped it. Granted, my new option was 10 SEK cheaper, but it didnt really care. However, they went ahead and "compensated" by bringing out a beer and some toast skagen. So unnecessary...but SO appreciated (and also delicious)! read more
This review is pretty much solely for the fish soup. It's awesome. Plus they give you seconds if you go up and ask. I was surprised at how much fish and seafood was in the soup, and the taste of all of the ingredients and the broth was superb. There was a decent sized line of 15 or so people when we got there around 1 PM, but it went pretty fast. For how popular this place is the seating is kind of tight, but we shared a table with some other people that were eating there and it was totally fine. Make friends and enjoy some wonderful soup! read more

This place was amazing. It's at the bottom of a plaza and gets pretty busy. Being from the States I was thankful the majority of folks spoke English. I order a seafood based soup which was fantastic and my significant other got the salmon with a buttery wine sauce. The food was amazing and worth the mile walk to get here. The patrons/locals were also incredibly friendly. They allowed us to share a table with them and actually welcomed us to Sweden. If you're reading this and debating if you should go? The. I'd said run don't walk. The food was incredible and you can also shop around the plaza after. read more
GREAT food at a great price, especially for Stockholm. We had the fish soup, as well as the French fish patties in brown butter sauce, and both were great. Try them with a good IPA! This is definitely the place to go when visiting the market. read more
Few friend recommend the place and we decide to make extra stop after reading review.. Fish soup .. good portion and variety of seafood inside is not just fish!! We also enjoyed the fish and chips, grill salmon and calamari .. of course can't beat unlimited bread and salad!! read more

Very crowded, a tad touristy but a good spot for lunch at this fish market/ sea food eatery. It's decided to be brave since I'm on vacation and go with the fried herring. No matter how you prepare herring it never seems palatable but here it was quite good and served with a heaping side of delicious mashed potatoes. Equally good was the boiled salmon in a cream dil sauce with potatoes. Unlimited bread and salad are included so you may pay about $30 for two, it's a good price for what you get. Service at the counter is helpful as well. Just note it's in the lower lever of Hötorgshallen. Recommended. read more

This place was a little hard to find at first, being tucked in the side of the basement of Hörtogshallen. Prices hover slightly over 100Kr, which is pretty good considering the quality of the food. I had the regular fish and chips, while some of my friends had the fish soup and herring. The fish were fresh and well cooked, but we felt the herring could have been fried a little more but otherwise everything else was good. The fish soup however, was the most amazing of the lot, and definitely worth a try! read more

Popular for a reason. The fish soup is served in a large bowl, tastes like Italian choppino (if you request no cream) with a lot more fish, and has free refills and sides (salad and bread). It's the best bang for the buck in town. We also tried the pesto pasta fruitti di mare which tasted great, except for the copious oil at the base of the dish. Definitely popular with tourists and service was good. You just line up, place your order and grab a seat. Fast in and fast out. read more
