Fish

The North Sea meets the coast of Norway here in Nordmøre, an ocean with a wealth and variety of fish that can fulfill the dreams of any fish lover. 
A vast number of local and classic fish dishes known throughout the world are often everyday fare here in Nordmøre. 

Restaurants, cafés and simple places for a snack are available in all more densely populated areas.  Whether you are looking for elegant dishes served in exclusive restaurants or genuine "fish and chips" bought from local snack bars - we are here to satisfy your needs. 

Local dishes

Local manufacturers produce tasty cheeses, stone-baked bread, ecological vegetables and juniper-smoked salmon and trout.  A productive countryside also provides venison, reindeer, elk, ptarmigan and capercaillie.  Enjoy local dishes such as smoked cod, Norwegian bacalao made from klippfish produced by our own fishing industry, and exciting dishes made of meat and bearing strange names, but with a flavour all gourmets will truly appreciate.  .
 
People in Nordmøre drink "kefir" or sour milk with "baill". "Baill" is made of fish and tastes delicious, although it looks a little strange.
