WORTH A TRIP

KALVåG

If you're travelling between Florø and Måløy via Bremanger island, do make the 5km detour from the ferry landing point at Smørhamn to the small, sensitively preserved fishing village of Kalvåg. Nowadays it's picture-postcard pretty and there's just one giant fish-processing factory on its outskirts that operates when the herring and mackerel shoals come near. But at its peak Kalvåg had over 50 herring salt houses that employed a seasonal workforce of around 10,000. You can still visit a couple of them; ask at the quayside tourist office (%48 14 04 88; www.fordkysten.no; h10am-6pm Mon-Fri, 10am-4pm Sat, noon-4pm Sun Jul–mid-Aug, 10am-4pm Mon-Fri rest of year). To while away the time between ferries, scoff a plate of shrimps, split some crab claws or down a beer, brewed specially for the restaurant, on the dockside terrace of Knutholmen (%57 79 69 00; www.knutholmen.no; mains Nkr298-319, seafood platters Nkr595; h8am-midnight) with the fishing boats right before you.
