Brim Explorer has an exclusive deal with Restaurant Einer, a collection of talented chefs specialising in curating amazing Norwegian dishes.
Starter: Cured Herring
Each winter, countless herring enter Northern Norway’s fjords, bringing a pulse of life to Tromsø’s waters. This migration draws not only local fishermen but also whales that come to feast, a scene we’re lucky to witness on our daily whale-watching tours. Herring, a staple of Scandinavian tradition, especially around Christmas, speaks to Norway’s connection to the sea and the season. We honour this heritage by serving fresh herring, a rare treat, balanced with local potatoes, dill, and a touch of onion for a bright, full-bodied taste of winter in the fjord.
Main: Arctic Cod
In Northern Norway, cod is more than just a fish; it’s a symbol of survival and commitment. Each winter, Skrei cod undertakes an incredible journey from the Barents Sea, a migration that makes its meat firmer and more flavourful than cod found year-round. This unique fish has been a cornerstone of Northern Norwegian culture, exported worldwide and cherished at home. To bring out its flavours, restaurant Einer prepares a delicate blue mussel sauce made with local apple juice, giving a nod to Norwegian tradition while creating a dish that holds its roots from this land and season.
Dessert: Apple Cinnamon Panna Cotta
In Scandinavia, milk preservation is an art, and Norway’s answer is rømme, a tangy, cultured cream that’s as much about tradition as taste. For our dessert, we use rømme to create a custard inspired by classic Scandinavian flavours, topped with tart Norwegian apples and cardamom crumble. This dessert offers a sweet and authentic taste of the north.
