Fish Market is located at Bystranda in Kristiansand, a popular beach in the city center. The area is known for its lively piers, where fishing boats and seafood restaurants contribute to a picturesque atmosphere. Nearby is Otterdalsparken, which is known for its unique granite fountains created by artist Kjell Nupen. The historic part of the city, Posebyen, is home to one of Northern Europe's largest collections of old, white wooden houses, and the Posebyen Association works to preserve and revitalize this area.
Kristiansand was founded by King Christian IV in 1641, and the city has a rich history that can be seen in buildings such as Bentsens Hus and the former post office. In addition to the cultural and historical attractions, Fish Market also offers a café called "Blåstua", which is known for its homemade cakes and waffles. This makes the area an attractive place for both locals and visitors.
