Come and join us for a fantastic day at the very first King Crab restaurant that started here in Norway!

You will walk out to our custom-built fishing pier on the Barents Sea, situated directly in front of the restaurant area, accompanied by our expert fishermen. They will show you how to catch a King Crab and also discuss the history and diversity of this monster of the deep.

You will be invited to help pull up the King Crab cages from the depths and land your catch. The expert fishermen will take you back and show you our secret recipe and how to prepare the crab in the local way. We will serve your catch in our idyllic restaurant situated by the fjord with a fantastic view and a great atmosphere.
