Good to know

  • Come at 07:00-08:00: there is often a queue of regulars, and boats leave when the catch is sold out.
  • Days: Wednesday to Saturday (no sales Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) per Visit Oslofjorden.
  • Do as Oslo does: shrimp on white bread with mayonnaise and lemon on the quay. The boats post the day's catch on Facebook.
