Last night when I was walking around Ladestien I saw this. Does anyone which type of fish is this?
I captured this last night in Trondheim.

That looks like a harbour porpoise, also known to norwegians as a “nise”.
Very common in the fjords, at least in that fjord since I live there myself.
No, I’m not an expert, but it seems interesting! It could be a normal fish though. But I don’t think it’s trout, because it’d … *shine* more….
Norwegian: Nise. English: Harbour porpoise

Yes, as others has mentioned this is almost certainly a porpoise (nise), and it’s a mammal, not a fish 🙂 They are pretty common along the coast of Norway 🙂
Porpoise is fairly common in Norwegian fjords, but still always a treat to get to see them!
