You will see a large, glass-sided locale which is the Fiskehaller. This place offers some of the most interesting food sales in Trondheim. The venue is a great place for a snack. You might want to opt for a bagful of fresh peeled (or unpeeled) shrimp, or perhaps a salmon sandwich at this cornucopia of fresh seafood.
Adjacent to the fish market is the ferryboat pier for the boats that travel to Munkeholmen (Monk's Island), a short distance offshore. Fronting the piers is a contemporary-looking statue, erected in 1990 by artist Nils Aas, and dedicated to Den Siste Viking (The Last Viking). Its somber caricature was inspired by a novel (Den Siste Viking) by Johan Bøjer, a former resident of Trondheim who honored the fishermen of Norway for their bravery and fortitude.
From here, walk east along the Fjordgata, then right (south) onto the all-pedestrian Nordre Gate, whose edges are lined with Trondheim's densest collection of shops.
