Norwegian traditional food: Boknafisk and rhubarb pie

This is a meal that combines local ingredients, old preservation traditions and a leisurely meal in authentic coastal surroundings.

Boknafisk has a long tradition in Nordland and is made from fish that has been lightly dried in fresh sea air. At Handelsstedet Forvik, it's prepared in the traditional way and served with classic accompaniments such as carrot stew, bacon and boiled potatoes. The meal ends with locally sourced rhubarb pie - a tart and mild dessert that belongs to summer along the Helgeland coast.

Here you get a taste of local history and food culture, in an environment where the pace is slow and the view is part of the experience. The dishes can be ordered daily throughout the summer season, and are suitable for both visitors and residents who want a traditional meal.
