Anita's Sjømat

Very charming seafood restaurant and shop. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with plenty to explore in the shop while waiting. The food was excellent — especially the soup and shrimp, which had an amazing depth of flavor. Everything arrived quickly and was beautifully prepared. A wonderful stop for both a meal and a bit of browsing. Highly recommend!

Wow! This place was incredible. We ran into this restaurant on our way back from our hotel after hiking in Reine. The pulled smoked salmon sandwich was so tasty. If salmon always tasted like that I'd have it all the time. You can tell the fish is fresh and the kitchen knows what it's doing. The restaurant itself is very quirky, with the dried fish used as decor throughout. It added to the next-to-sea ambiance. I'd highly recommend stopping by! It's even worth the drive if you aren't doing any activities nearby. It's that good.

That was an amazing experience… This is where I had the best fish soup of my life. The views are just mesmerizing, and eating while being surrounded by it… I just cant describe it. The place itself is atmospheric, not overdone, and perfectly reflects the Lofoten fish culture. The prawn sandwich was also delicious, all the ingredients were fresh and perfectly composed. I will definitely return to this place, even taking into account Norwegian food prices.

The food was good, portions were a little on the smaller side, but the store is really were decorated and sells all kinds of local food items, from stockfish to local cheese. You also get a great view in the area to the bay outside. It was a lovely visit overall.

Exceeds expectations. You might think, how good can a fish burger be? Turns out, extremely! Can’t stop coming back to this place. Take out is also an option (pair it with chips!). “Classic” burgers with cod are perfection. Salad with salmon was divine. Also tried the pulled salmon burger and the one with both cod and smoked salmon — pulled salmon was WAY better than smoked! The pulled is meaty, though cold, while the smoked was very lean and hard to chew in parts.

A truly beautiful location, and the classic cod burger was absolutely outstanding. We also tried the pulled salmon burger, which was tasty as well, but it just couldn’t beat the classic cod. We actually came back again the very next day!

Food was served super fast, taste was good but not wow. Limited food options regarding allergies of gluten and lactose/dairy. Bit touristy and loud environment. However I recommend going here since the fish is fresh!

Great place to try if you're in the area! Ate here 3 times as it was so close to my accommodation. I tried the Winnie the Pooh burger, cod & shrimp burger and the fish soup - all very nice and very filling. Seating inside & out. Order at the counter & collect system, cool little spot and great views!

Absolutely love this fish market/restaurant. They sell a wide variety of fresh fish, including salmon sashimi and smoked steak. We came here to sit down for a quick bite and ordered the shrimp, fish soup, and classic fish burger. The shrimp was delicious and I'm not normally a fan of cold shrimp. The fish soup was super flavorful and had huge chunks of fish in it, I just wish it was a little creamier like the ones I had in Bergen. The classic fish burger was great, but one thing to note is that it's not fried fish but more of a fishcake patty. They have a lot of other burger options too including shrimp and salmon so we will definitely be back during our time here since our rorbuer is so close by!

Came here because it was recommended by our Air BnB host + it was among the few concrete suggestions I found when researching Lofoton Islands. FOOD: Husband and I enjoyed our cod fish burger, but it came with way too much sauce. Food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. Burger did not include a side nor any tomato slice. Fish cakes from the grocery stores were actually better! Overall 8/10 They also have a cafe bar (coffee, tea) and boast several dessert options. AMBIANCE: Seating is plentiful indoors and out. There's also a gift shop with some local items to check out. Views are beautiful, of course. OTHER/BONUS: play structures for kids and lots of high chairs available.

This place was the most scenic meal I've probably ever had- my husband and I stopped for dinner, him getting the whale tataki and myself getting the cod fish sandwich (there are multiple fish sandwiches offered). The sandwich was very filling and fresh, and the bread was nice and soft, although the sauce was too sweet for me. I had one bite of his whale just to say I've tried it and it was interesting, wouldn't be able to eat a whole plate of it though! They also sell bottled beers (we got a good saison) and wine by the glass. Beautiful dinner!!

Very yummy, we ordered the whale dish & the fish soup. Both very delicious. We tried whale elsewhere in Norway and it was so overcooked, but this one was served with pink in the middle. Also bought some local goats cheese as they have a store section. Great place!

On a cold rainy day in February, we found ourselves taking a leisurely lunch here at Anita's Sjømat on Lofoten. I am traveling through Norway this week, and stopping every day at different places. We lined up on a busy afternoon and watched as the lovely ladies behind the counter handled everyone with aplomb, and with a smile. I saw several options and settled on the Poo Bear sandwich, but for me, being gluten free, without the buns. Mine came with a salad and a fish cake made from potato starch and fish. It had a delightful texture and nice flavors. It was so good but for me, I wanted more. I also ordered the fish soup. It was creamy and delicious, packed with seafood! My friend had crab legs which he reported were good but not enough for a meal. So he too had another lunch plate and was happily satisfied after. We both had fresh brewed coffee and that too was exceptional. Loved the food and the atmosphere, I highly recommend!!

The whale tartare was uniquely amazing! Def not something you see often. It's paired with a sesame soy sauce which is def goes better with. The fish sandwiches are what theyRe known for. And although I'm not huge on fried anything, the fried fish sandwiches here lived up to the hype. Fresh ingredients that combine sooo well. Cool gift shop, bakery and drinks are offered here as well. Well worth a stop on your way to Reine!!

We really enjoyed the Salmon burger and it tasted very fresh. Nice vibes in the restaurant. Veggie burger was ok, but the seaweed was the nice touch - it was the only veggie option.

Stunning location, fantastic collection of dried fish and unusual snacks, and of course the fish burger was seriously delicious. Highly recommend! Low-key and memorable.

Went in around 12p on a Wednesday for some lunch. Got an amazing fish sandwich, they have so many options. It was prepared by a girl behind the counter and it was so delicious and pairs well with a beer too Would absolutely recommend stopping into this shop for a quick bite to eat on your way through the Lofoten Islands!

After a couple of my kids decided jumping into the arctic sea would be memorable (it was) we stopped in at Anita's for what might be called the Lofoten fast food. We all got fish burgers after selecting our choice of fish. Great views, quick service and good food.

The best fish burger ever! It's so worth stopping here for lunch/dinner! We took the fish burger with all topping. That means salmon and shrimps! The burger was very juicy and just melted in the mouth! For me this was a fish burger royal! Don't pass this place, stop for a burger!

Yummy Cod fish burger where you can order the classic or with additional smoke salmon and shrimp. So lovely...fish fillet with a bunch of salad greens, smoked salmon, small prawns and aioli sauce, sandwiched between two hot crispy buns. No wonder everyone who visits Lofoten eats here. Another unusual food we tried here is the Seagull's egg. Eventhough the whites of the egg looks kind of transparent, the taste is just like the usual duck egg. The giant chocolate chips cookie is also very good. There are big chunks of chocolates (like chocolate coins) but the cookie itself is not extremely sweet. . Fish burger : 4.5/5 Seagull's egg : 3.5/5 Chocolate chip cookies : 4.5/5 Service : 4/5 Price : $$ Place : 4/5 . Non Halal Rest : Anita's Sjomat Location : Sakrisoya. Reine Country : Norway .

I tried their fish sandwich for lunch and it was so delicious! It's a simple fish patty with cabbage and white sauce. For a fishing village where there's not much food, this is the spot to visit while you're near Reine, Hamnoy or Sakrisoy. Also tried their togo dried fish packets but I didn't enjoy those as much. Very fishy but it is all natural and healthy.

Anita's Sjømat is an awesome little shop that sells local delicacies (seafood, cheeses, caviar, reindeer jerky, etc.) and is situated in the heart of Sakrisøy of the Lofoten Islands. They have an impressive section of smoked seafood and I looove smoked fish. We ended up buying some peppered smoked mackerel for dinner that night. The mackerel was super delicious; the smell was a little strong but the taste of the fish was quite delicate. It paired well with our pasta that night! The shop is also a good stop for lunch or dinner. Menu is limited but solid with fish burgers (they're apparently famous at Anita's), fish soup, and seafood sandwiches. There's even a picnic area out back with a play area for kids. If you're visiting the Lofoten Islands, be sure to stop by this spot for great local food and amazing views!

The best food I've had in Norway so far. I've had many fish burgers to refuel between hikes. Love this place. They also have a lot of local trail snacks like different jerkies, deer, reindeer, elk. They close at 7 pm so time your hikes accordingly

We had the fish burger and it was quite tasty. Only thing is that the portions were a little on the skimpy side. Also, my boyfriend bought some of their whale meat and really liked it! He's a more adventurous eater than I am.

Very good!! Had the crab plate and my husband got the fish burger. Both were delicious. The only reason I am giving 4 out of 5 stars is because they have signs saying to limit your stay to one hour... this is due to their having construction to increase seating space but the sign seemed a bit rude. Maybe just a language difference? Not sure. When the construction is over I'm sure it'll be fine.

The king crab here is so fresh and juicy. It's the best I've ever had. The smoked salmon burger here is said to taste very good too. I like their location and decoration. They also have a store that sells smoked salmon, jams, syrup, different caviar, and dried fish.

The best fish soup I've ever tasted! Real Norwegian food. Absolutely worth a visit! Nice staff and clean restaurant. Unique little store where you can buy Norwegian food and souvenirs.
