The display and the exhibition

The exhibition takes you from the beginnings of fish farming to the modern operation of today. The life cycle of fish, sustainable development, footprint and future are some of the topics you will learn about.

How to get here

The viewing facility is located north of Engesund in the Fitjarøane Islands, and is located at the fish farming facility west of Dyrholmen. Since this is a food fish farm located at sea, you need a boat to get there. You can either come with your own boat, or we can pick you up in one of our boats. The trip itself is an experience. You get close to the sea and nature in the beautiful archipelago outside Fitjar.

If you are going to Engesund Fiskeoppdrett Visningssenter by road, drive to the center of Fitjar. Fitjar is located 10 minutes from the E39 at Sandvikvåg and 30 minutes from Leirvik south of Stord, midway between Bergen and Haugesund. There is therefore good access from both the south and north along the road. In special circumstances, we can pick you up from places other than Fitjar, for example, it is a short distance to Austevoll and Bømlo via the sea. For transport, we have to make some reservations depending on the weather.

We get fish every other year, so now is your chance to meet the smolt. Smolt is the name for young fish that have fully adapted to the transition from freshwater to saltwater – ready to migrate further out to sea.
