About Port of Brandasund

Brandasund is a sheltered harbor on Gisøya, Norway, situated at the entrance to Selbjørnsfjorden. It serves as a fishing and processing hub, with Brandasund Fiskeforedling AS operating in the area.

Background
Brandasund er et gammelt handelssted på kysten mellom Haugesund og Bergen ved innseilingen til Selbjørnsfjorden. Handlesstedet ligger på Gisøya lengst ute i Fitjarøyene. Men etter det kom bruforbindelse med resten av Bømlo, tilhører handelsstedet i dag Bømlo kommune. Her ute er det en rekke gode fiskegrunner som Hökkelbåene i nord til Seiskallen og Videflua i sør. Brandasund Fiskeforedling AS holder til her ute.
