The best Fish and Seafood Restaurants in Hamburg
A little piece of Wales beckons on the idyllic banks of the Alster: Richard Dugdale conjures up crispy fish & chips in wafer-thin beer batter or the vegan version of tofu in nori sheets, homemade butter pastry pies and addictive onion rings. Perfect for an indulgent break in the countryside.
50 delicious years located in the Hanseviertel in the centre of the city. Fine lobster, succulent langoustines, seafood, scallops, oysters and caviar are all served here. Add a glass of Champagne or fine wine and a break from the office or from shopping could hardly be better.
In the midst of Elbe island charm, honest cuisine meets real history: golden-brown baked fish, creamy remoulade, lukewarm potato salad and fresh cucumber salad. 50s flair inside, lorry outside the door. A place that seems to have fallen out of time - which is precisely why it is so special.
You can taste around 100 years of fish tradition. Whether it's Hamburg pan-fried fish with mustard sauce, Labskaus, fish soup or plaice, saithe and co. from the pot and pan. For a quick bite, there are crabs, fish cakes and salmon in a roll. Cosy ambience, sensational view of the town hall.
North Sea crab, mackerel, rollmops or salmon between crispy bread roll halves. The classics are simply really good here. Plus the view of boats, ships and the Elbphi, screeching seagulls and, as a highlight, the pontoon swaying with the Elbe. You can't get any more harbour city than this.
Small shop, big flavour: this place serves really good fish sandwiches - from crab salad to grilled salmon rissoles and anchovies, all freshly topped and served in crispy wheat or wholemeal rolls. Instead of a display case, pictures show what's on the plate. Perfect for a break or a night on the town.
Between fishmongers and views of the Elbe, Volkmar Preis cooks plaice, saithe and other pan-fried fish to perfection in his open kitchen. Served with lobster bisque, matjes or scallops in lime butter. Bistro charm, fresh fish, honest cuisine - perfect for a lunch break or a stroll along the harbour.
Right on the canal in the old town: classic fish sandwiches, pan-fried fish and fried fish - freshly caught, home-made and served with heart and soul. In summer you can sit outside on Deichstraße, inside it's small, charming and Hanseatic. For meat eaters, currywurst and meatballs are also on the hook.
Authentic fish snack on the Schulterblatt: redfish fillet, fish & chips or prawns are served at the counter, along with fried potatoes and a small salad. The undecided go for the mixed platter. Outside on beer benches, there's lively street life to accompany the fish. Also freshly caught fish to take home.
Directly on the Elbe and without any frills: fish sandwiches with matjes, salmon or prawns, served with homemade sauces ranging from garlic to honey mustard. If you like, you can add fried potatoes or pancakes. Self-service, friendly service and a view of the harbour. Simple, fresh, Nordic good.
