Owned by a fisherman who heads out on the lake each morning to catch the muikku (vendace, or whitefish, a common lake fish) that this place specialises in, Kalastajan Koju is conveniently located on the water by the kauppatori and is particularly busy in summer. The menu also includes fish and chips, bratwurst and fried salmon.
