Nururfiskaravik, usually shortened to Fiskarvik, is a Hurmu town and port along the northern coast of the Lake District. It is Hurmu's most important port in the Lake District. Known as Anhira 1555–1571 during the Safirian occupation of Hurmu, in honour of the Safirian capital in Firnerámnen.
Fittingly, the port of Fiskaravik has served as the main landing point for catches by the Hurmudan fishing fleet in the Lake District since 1690 AN. In consequence a large number of processing centres and canneries have grown up behind the inlet and the road leading to the nearest railhead, employing a considerable proportion of the city's 531,853 population.
