How much fish can I bring home?
From 1st of January 2021, tourists are only allowed to bring fish out of Norway if they stay at a registered fish camp. If so, they can bring 18 kg of fish (toll.no).
Steinsvik Fjordhytter is a registred fish camp.
To do this, you need to fill out an online form (GoFish) when you go fishing. Instructions on how to do this is printed in the cabins and in the fish house. It’s an easy process. We’ll give you a signed document when you leave. You can show this document to customs agents at the border.

How do I use the big outdoor tub at Neset?
This takes a bit of preparation. First you’ll have to fill the tub using the hose. This will take about 3,5 hours. Next you’ll have to use the wood stove to heat up the water. This requires 5-7 bags of firewood and takes 6-8 hours, depending on season and temperature. So it’s best to start planning a day ahead.
Please ask us for assistance on how to do this.
PS! It’s very nice to sit in the pool once you get the temperature up!
