Here something we should know about fishing villages. A fishing village is a village, usually located near a fishing ground, with an economy based on catching fish and harvesting seafood. The continents and islands around the world have coastlines totalling around 356,000 kilometres From Neolithic times, these coastlines, as well as the shorelines of inland lakes and the banks of rivers, have been punctuated with fishing villages. Most surviving fishing villages are traditional.
Here are some of the popular Norwegian fishing villages. Grip is an archipelago and deserted fishing village in More og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located about 14 km northwest of the town of Kristiansund in the Norwegian Sea. The Grip Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in Norway, is located on one of the islands of Grip. The historic Grip Stave Church is located on the island of Gripholmen. From 1897 until 1964, the islands were part of Grip Municipality, but the islands were merged into Kristiansund Municipality in 1964.
One popular fishing village is Hovden. Hovden is a fishing village in Bo Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The village is located at the northern tip of a peninsula on the island of Langoya, on the west side of the Malnesfjorden. The ocean lies to the north and west of the village. The road that goes to Hovden ends at the village. The habitation of Hovden, on the outermost point on a peninsula of the third-largest island in Norway (Langoya) is because of the closeness to the rich fishing banks off of the Vesteralen archipelago. Fish processing and fishing are the main employment of dwellers in Hovden.
Archaeological findings show that Hovden have been populated at least since 400 to 800 CE.
The southern and western part of Hovden is referred to as "Malnes". Malnes was the clerical center for the northern part of Bo until Malnes Church was moved from Malnes in 1829 to the village of Eidet. The name of the parish is still called Malnes.

Other popular fishing village is Kamoyvaer. The Kamoyvaer is a fishing village in Nordkapp Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. The village lies along the Kamoyfjorden on the east side of the island of Mageroya, about 10 kilometres northwest of the town of Honningsvag. It sits at the end of a cul-de-sac road, the Norwegian County Road 172. About 2 kilometres south of the village, the road meets the European route E69, the main road leading to the North Cape.
The village is sheltered from the open sea by the islands of Lille Kamoya and Store Kamoya, the water between the village and the latter being called the ostersundet.
There are around 70 inhabitants in the village. Although there are no ethnic distinctions today, the people of the village are descended from coastal Sami and Kven as well as Norwegians. In the summer of 2012, the labour force in the village included people from the Baltic states.
A small hotel/guesthouse called the Arran, owned by a Sami family, occupies three blue-painted buildings in the centre of the village. One of them is right on the waters of the harbour and the other two are just across the road. The top floor of a house in the centre of the village contains an art gallery called the Gallery East of the Sun which displays and sells the work of a German-born artist, Eva Schmutterer, who lives in the village.
One popular fishing village is Nyksund. Nyksund is a coastal fishing village on the northern part of the island of Langaoa in the Vesteralen archipelago. It is part of the municipality of Oksnes in Nordland county,
