Underwhelming Smørbrød — expected more

I was looking forward to Smørbrød here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The gamey and earthy character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with lamb or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Norwegian coastal geography shaped a cuisine centred on preserved and fresh fish. The a Bergen fish market lunch setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. brunost brown cheese was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
