Fish Bergen Style

Landed in Bergen Norway in the midst of a snow squall yet the prop plane handled it great. Ever since King Olav granted this city town status in 1070, Bergen has been rocking. As the starting point for the fjord trips it has a lot to do and see. The Bryggen Area is filled with old houses dating from the Hanseatic Period when dried fish was powerful currency. In 2000 Bergen was named European City of Culture, a tile is surely deserves.

This meat loving man went to the fish market today to see what is pulled out of the North Sea waters, from the look of the stalls, a lot. Got a feeling that omega oil will be coursing through my veins as the trip up the coast progresses. I damn well may sprout gills! That’s okay because when I get up to the Artic Circle there will be reindeer heart on the menu, done Sami style.
