I should not have made my assumption and stopped when I found a solution based on it. I assumed that hint no. 4 meant that the green house could be anywhere to the left of the white house, not necessariy next door on the left. This led to a solution in which the Norwegian kept the fish.
The solution was not too hard to find without the assumption.
