Coastal Recipes

Coastal Norwegian cuisine celebrates the nation's extraordinary relationship with the sea, from the fjords to the Lofoten Islands and the Arctic North. Fresh and preserved cod, salmon, king crab, and shellfish dominate, prepared through smoking, curing, drying, and fermenting traditions stretching back millennia. Signature dishes include lutefisk, klippfisk, fiskesuppe, and fresh-boiled shellfish. Norway's coastal communities maintain some of Europe's most pristine and sustainable fishing traditions.
