The bay right outside the museum was often visitet by both macerel and herring, this in combination with good fishing resources a few nautical miles away from the boathouse, made the people around Ovågen self sufficient all year around. The equipment used in this traditional fishing were handlines, various nets, seine fishing from land and traps. It was made at home on the farm or bought from the farmer's dealer in Bergen .
