Some come for the traditional, rustic fish specialities that are served when they are in season. Others go for the unique combo of fresh, local fish and modern, innovative and international cooking. Reindeer, moose, lamb and goat are locally sourced, and with some luck you can also get ptarmigan. At the end of summer, you can look for local vegetable, such as carrots, swedes and the little, yellow M\u00e5lselv turnip. They are all sweet and crunchy, since they have grown in a cool, bright Arctic summer. Berries, both the tart lingonberries and the golden cloudberries, add colour and taste to sweet and savoury foods. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-today-s-catch-is-a-sustainable-choice\">Today\u2019s catch is a sustainable choice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The responsible diner should look out for \u201cdagens fangst\u201d \u2013 today\u2019s catch. This means that the restaurant serves whatever fish their connections in the fishing villages around Troms\u00f8 have caught that day. The fish is thus freshly caught and benefits the local community. Another sustainable keyword is \u201cbifangst\u201d \u2013 bycatch. Let\u2019s say a fishing boat is about to fish its cod quota, but also gets some monkfish and saithe in the net. Earlier, this would just be thrown back in the sea, a practice that is banned these days. By eating bycatch, you contribute to a more sustainable harvesting of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FISK3198.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/FISK3198.jpg\" alt=\"Espen invites the guests to up to 18 different dishes, all with Northern origins.

Others go for more elegance, be it with classical French sauces or in new and inventive ways. The summer fish of choice is saithe, <em>storsei<\/em>, also called pollack or colefish in English. Lutefisk, stockfish soaked with a hint of caustic soda, is a pre-Christmas rite. Halibut is the preferred fish for Christmas. Many order shellfish and prawns in summer, but in fact these sea fruits are tastier and more succulent in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A7R9724.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x801\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A7R9724.jpg\" alt=\"Tonights menu: Fish soup.

We northerners are spoilt when it comes to fish, so we traditionally preferred cod, halibut, herring and other good-looking fish species. However, at legendary \u201cPepperm\u00f8llen\u201d in Troms\u00f8 in the 1970\u2019ies, Austrian chef \u2013 a landlocked expert \u2013 Sepp Perger started preparing wolf fish, monk fish, redfish and shells, previously considered bait in the north. For restaurant diners used to a good steak, these were completely new ideas. After all, fish would be something mum makes at home. But it was the start of good, original cooking in Troms\u00f8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-booking-ahead-is-a-good-idea\">Booking ahead is a good idea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stories of hot dogs on seven eleven on Saturday night abound. And if you don\u2019t plan your Friday, Saturday, Valentine\u2019s Day or 17<sup>th<\/sup> of May, a kebab under constant air attacks by hungry seagulls might be your gourmet experience. In the December to March Northern Lights season, things can be hectic all week, but the rest of the year, there is usually a table free somewhere on short notice. It also helps to be willing to dine early or late, if tables are hard to come by.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\"
