Arctandria

Description:

• A jewel among rhinestones, this best fish restaurant in town is patronized by many savvy locals who make their living from the sea and have high standards for seafood. It's set on the top floor of a sprawling antique warehouse immediately adjacent to the water, in the commercial heart of town. The somewhat somber, museumlike interior softens during the dinner hour, when flickering candles add a sense of romance. Virtually everything on the menu features incredibly fresh fish, except for whale meat, seal meat, and, the occasional reindeer. Starters include mussel soup; a platter containing three different kinds of savory fish roe; and carpaccio of whale meat, a politically incorrect dish. Main courses include the tasty grilled stockfish served with roasted mushrooms and bacon. For an adventurous treat, try the arctic char with hazelnuts or grilled arctic shark meat with a pepper sauce.
