Feskekôrka
A seafood market that looks like a Gothic cathedral, opened in 1874 as a showcase for West Coast seafood.
'Feskekôrka' means 'fish church' in the Gothenburg dialect. The building has a neo-Gothic spire but has never been used as a church. Inside, stalls sell shrimp, oysters, lobster, pickled herring and more, and a small upstairs restaurant serves freshly prepared seafood. The best time to visit is during the European lobster season, which starts in late September. Located by the moat canal, it is about a 5-minute walk from Haga. It is usually closed on Sundays and Mondays, so check the official website for opening hours.
