The place to shop for fish in the Moss area. The tiny fishmonger’s, located at the very far end of the canal on the Jeløya side, has established a reputation that draws customers from far and wide. The catch varies from day to day, but invariably features locally caught fish of the highest quality, as well as smoked salmon, gravlax, herrings, fish cakes, and fresh prawns, plus a selection of preserves (but no game, as the name might lead you to believe). The owner always has time for a chat, so if like me you’re not that confident cooking fish, this is a great place to pick up a few tips. Jeløy Fisk og Vilt is part of the European Network of Regional Culinary Heritage, which works to promote local and regional food. Cheap it ain’t, but if it’s quality you want, you won’t be disappointed.
