Held every October, this is THE effect since a seafood smorgasbord is served that contains the best of Norway's oceanic bounty - salmon, mackerel, Atlantic halibut, caviar, oysters, scallop, herring, crayfish too Rex crab.
In elementary words, a must for whatever seafood lover.

Strangely enough, fifty-fifty though this is the tertiary fourth dimension I've attended the gala dinners (including the special majestic i when Norway's Crown Prince Haakon too Crown Princess Mette-Marit visited Malaysia concluding year), it is my get-go fourth dimension blogging most it.
One of the reasons why I await frontwards to the gala dinners is the nutrient prepped past times the famous Flying Culinary Circus. These globe-trotting chefs ready upwards fantastic nutrient all the time. The 4 members of this grouping each specialise inward dissimilar aspects, i is the seafood expert, approximately other handles the sauces, the other does the meats too i does the herbs too vegetables.
This yr saw them serve salmon that was "smoked" too served amongst herbs, pino nuts too an olive crude based dressing. Needless to say I went for numerous helpings for this corking item. The other exceptional they served, which I also loved was their lobster bisque served amongst grilled Rex crab legs. Lovely flavours that reminded i of the sea. Everyone on the tabular array had seconds every bit it was darn good.
I also await frontwards to the caviar spread they unwrap amongst the dissimilar sort of roes inward diverse shades that you lot tin consume amongst eggs, cream too finely chopped jump onions.
Utter bliss indeed.
What is goodness is if Western dishes are non your preferred cooking style, they also serve diverse Asian styles.
You larn an abundance of fresh sashimi too sushi. There is fifty-fifty steamed halibut from the Chinese kitchen too fifty-fifty tandoori salmon for those missing the Indian spices.
One must non forget the amazing spread of desserts also past times talented pastry chef Holger Deh. I e'er await frontwards to his delicious chocolate ganache cake amongst the lingonberry jam. They also served the princess cake, a traditional Norwegian favourite too lots to a greater extent than goodies made from unique to Norwegian ingredients such every bit the cloudberries.
