What Fiskekaker is
Pan-fried fish cakes served with potato and vegetables.
Fiskekaker is listed as a dish in the Norway guide, where the index tags it seafood. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
Where to find Fiskekaker
Fiskekaker is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Norway. Markets and casual counters are the best value; the sit-down restaurant version is usually larger and more expensive.
The Norway guide also covers 5 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
