You can buy fish, dried fish, candy and all sorts of other local food and products from here. We bought dried fishes and some local food. The dried monkfish heads, which are a nice gift or memory from Lofoten. Definitely worth a try. #norway #lofoten

Introduction to the Scenery of the Lofoten Islands, Norway The Lofoten Islands in Norway are a rare natural beauty in Northern Europe, known for their magnificent natural landscapes and unique cultural characteristics. The following is an introduction to the main scenery of the archipelago: 1. Natural Landscape Mountains and Fjords: The Lofoten Islands are composed of a series of islands with varied terrain. From majestic peaks to gentle beaches, from deep fjords to vast grasslands, each place is a masterpiece of nature. Beaches and Waters: The archipelago has fine white sand beaches and clear waters, such as Ramberg Beach and Kvalvika Beach, providing ideal conditions for swimming and surfing. Aurora Borealis and Midnight Sun: In winter, the Lofoten Islands are a mecca for aurora lovers. During the eight-month aurora season from August to April of the following year, green and purple light bands often dance like silk. In summer, the spectacle of the midnight sun is ushered in, and the midnight sun dyes the white sand beach golden. 2. Cultural Characteristics Fishing Villages and Wooden Houses: The fishing villages of the Lofoten Islands are known for their colorful wooden houses, with red wooden houses being the most numerous, yellow being slightly more expensive, and white being the most expensive. These wooden houses are not only the residences of fishermen, but also the symbol of the region. Historical Sites: The archipelago has several historic fishing villages, such as Borg and Reine, which are not only scenic but also retain many Viking-era relics. 3. Transportation and Access Self-driving: The best way to visit the Lofoten Islands is by self-driving, where you can enjoy the natural scenery along the way. The E10 highway is the main road connecting the islands, and there are many attractions worth stopping at along the way. Public Transportation: Although the Lofoten Islands have bus services, they are more expensive and less frequent, making self-driving a more flexible and economical option. 4. Food, Accommodation and Shopping Catering: There are not many restaurant options on the island and prices are high, but there are some specialty restaurants such as Anita's Sjmat that offer delicious seafood and whale meat. Accommodation: Mainly B&Bs and small wooden houses by the sea, the conditions are generally average but the location is excellent. Shopping: Supermarkets such as Joker and Coop sell a variety of goods, and there are also second-hand markets where you can buy unique souvenirs. The Lofoten Islands are not only a paradise for nature lovers, but also an ideal choice for photography enthusiasts and history buffs. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, each season has its own unique charm and activities, making this place a wonderland worth visiting.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Anita’s Sjømat is located next to the main road in the Lofoten Islands, the E10. When going to Reine, you will definitely pass by the island of Sakrisøy. The Lofoten internet-famous restaurant Anita’s Sjømat on the island is famous for its delicious fish burgers and fish soup🥣. Strictly speaking, Anita’s is a “fast food restaurant” where food such as fish burgers, sashimi, and beer do not require cooking. Fish soup is the only item that must be cooked before being served. Anita’s Sjømat is a good place to buy specialties, including dried cod, whale meat, sea salt, canned seafood, caviar, and other Lofoten specialties. The restaurant is right on the beach, with its own fish drying rack next to it, and the fish heads are still dripping with water! The lake and mountains are beautiful. Even if you don't plan to dine here, you must come in and take a walk. After entering the restaurant, both sides are filled with "dried cod" made from Lofoten's specialty "cod", which is also very eye-catching. If you order fish soup at a restaurant, the bowl is large and the ingredients are rich, so it is recommended that two people share it. Because pure cream soup is very rich but easy to get greasy! 🕰️Business hours: Monday-Sunday 11:00 am – 4:00 pm

The burgers here are famous, but the sashimi is even better than the burgers. It is recommended that you order their sashimi and salad when you come here. The salad would be better than the burger, which I really think is okay. But this restaurant is really good and I recommend you to eat there. There is a large parking lot outside and it is easy to buy.
