Fisktorget

Fisktorget or Fisktorg (English: Fish Market) is a former public square in Malmö, Sweden.

The square was built in 1894 at Bastion Älvsborg immediately west of Hjälmarbron. Here fish was sold and transported by railway. In 1969 the square was removed and the name was deleted, but the statue "Fish Gumma" (1949) by the sculptor Clarence Blum is reminiscent of the fishing trading spot.
