On a canal-side in central Gothenburg is the city’s fish and shellfish market.
You’ll be forgiven for mistaking this building for a church, as its design was inspired by Norwegian Stave Churches and medieval Gothic architecture (hence the name “fish church”). The market opened in 1874 and was a technical marvel at the time as there are no pillars inside, with a roof supported instead by powerful beams.
This should be your first stop for ocean-fresh fish and shellfish caught on the day.
