About

Loosely translated as the Fisherman’s beacon, Kalamajakas, a fishmonger and restaurant in the Pärnu Market, beckons the way to new and interesting culinary harbors. Salmon, a usual suspect at fish markets across the country, makes an unsurprising appearance, its pale hue and steep price, however, are quite startling. This is non-GMO eco-salmon, freshly caught off the shores of the Faroe Islands.

It’s cleverly served raw and slightly salted as a reminder of what pure fish should taste like. In a corner of the dining room you’ll notice something bubbling merrily, it’s a new piece of equipment that fine-tunes the living environment of the restaurant’s oysters. Fact: the only place you’ll only find molluscs and salmon this fresh is at Kalamajakas.

No doubt about it. Their reputation for being strong retailer of local fish is equally indisputable.
