Fru Inger

Frommer's Review

This is one of the two most popular seafood restaurants in Trondheim. It's not as chic, cutting-edge, and sophisticated as the also-recommended Havfruen , but it serves an intelligent, imaginative cuisine at somewhat less expensive prices. Named after a 1950s-era cargo ship (Fru Inger, or "Miss Inger") now based in Mexico, it's housed in a glass-sided pavilion that overlooks the old and new fishing vessels moored beside a canal, a short walk from the railway station. Inside, a navy-blue color scheme, varnished mahogany, and pin lighting work to enhance the nautical decor. We recommend lime- and chile-marinated scallops served on a salad bed of fresh tomato and sweet peppers as a starter. Drawn from the cold, deep waters of Norway, shark is delectably served with smoked salmon, a skewer of fresh vegetables, and risotto. The salt-baked filet of cod comes with a savory basil sauce. At Christmastime, a traditional favorite is lutefiske, the controversial and aromatic dish that many Norwegians remember, often with conflicting feelings, from their childhoods. If you're here on a summer day, opt for the rhubarb soup with cinnamon ice cream.
