Authentic Fishing with a Local Fisherman

General information

This tour is operated by Arctic Cruise in Norway.

Learn how to fish, handle the catch and fillet it. Enjoy a freshly prepared meal at sea and take home some fish.

Step into a real Norwegian fishing tradition with a local fisherman born and raised in a small coastal village in Northern Norway. Taught from an early age by his father, fishing has been a way of life, not a performance for tourists. This authentic experience is designed for travellers seeking something genuine — learning directly from someone who has lived with the sea and nature his entire life.

Along the way, hear stories about Norwegian coastal culture, from the old days of traditional fishing communities to modern life in the Arctic. Learn how to fish properly, how to handle the catch with respect and how to fillet and prepare it on board.

A highlight of the experience is enjoying a freshly prepared meal at sea — and if the catch allows, you may even take some fish home as a lasting memory of Norway.
