Guided Fish Factory Tour at Bruket - Fish Factory

Bruket – Fish Factory is the world’s first visitor center for wild fish, and it is not a museum. Here you get the opportunity to go into an operative fish factory where real production takes place around you. The guide, who is one of the factory’s own workers, will take you on a journey through the building and share how fish and king crab come ashore, are processed and prepared for both local tables and international export. Along the way you will learn about stockfish, one of Norway’s oldest export traditions, see live king crab, and discover how strict quotas and modern technology cooperate with skills and tradition to safeguard the resources. The experience engages all five senses; expect sounds, smells and practical moments – this is not a passive visit. The tour ends with tastings of three of our products: cooked king crab, dried stockfish and sugar-salted smoked Norwegian caviar. After the tasting you are welcome to browse souvenirs in the gift shop, including locally handmade jewelry and memories with otoliths – the lucky stones that are found inside the cod’s heads.
