The Best L\'il Chuckhouse in the West
If you're passing Reine, at the bottom of the Norwegian Lofotens, there's a little restaurant/cafe with an indecipherable name at the end of the central fish pier, right opposite where the 'disabled' whale-catchers are moored.
My lady and I found this 'hobson's choice' while dinghy-camping in the vicinity ( how daft! ), finding that summer there lasts about 2 days, autumn about 12 hours - we'd missed both - and needing a hot meal rather badly. The very pretty waitress brought us hot coffee, with scrambled aggs and smoked salmon. Lots of it!
When I paid the requested equivalent of about £1.50, I remarked that, in England, that amount of salmon would have cost ten times what we'd been charged, I was told that "No, the salmon is no problem. We have lots of that. It's the egg that is really expensive...."
