Fish & Cow

At Skagen 3, by the entrance from the square into the Torgterrassen shopping centre, Fish & Cow offers a brasserie-style dining room a few minutes from Vågen. Its own introduction focuses on local, seasonal produce, generous portions and informal cooking that combines Norwegian ingredients with influences from elsewhere. The name signals two main interests—fish and meat—and the menu covers both, a useful flexibility for groups who do not want to limit dinner to seafood after a harbour walk.

The restaurant encourages social dining and highlights a tabletop grill for sharing, alongside dishes prepared in the kitchen and an ambitious drinks list. Reviews mention fish soup, scallops, halibut and meat; some guests praise the ingredients and atmosphere, while others find the prices high or describe uneven service and cooking. That contrast makes it sensible to check the menu before sitting down and book, especially on Saturday. The concept is better suited to a relaxed dinner than a quick stop after an excursion.

The official site places the entrance at Skagen 3 and lists opening from 17:00 to midnight Monday through Friday and until 01:00 on Saturdays; the kitchen closes at 22:00, and the page does not give Sunday hours. Tables can be booked online and the published phone number is +47 51 50 50 50. The square and harbour are only a few minutes away on foot. Compared with Fisketorget, its distinction is breadth: the brasserie is not limited to the day’s catch, combining seafood, meat and a more structured dining experience.
