Food Guide
Sandwich made with fish

The humble fish roll is a snack in which its appeal lies in its simplicity. The sandwich is typically made with pickled herring or soused herring some onion, pickles and remoulade sauce.

The options are as varied as the food stands that offer them. You can have fried fish or fish patty, North Sea shrimp or crabmeat, Brathering, rollmops, European sprat, salmon, smoked Atlantic mackerel. The fischbrötchen tastes best if eaten while enjoying views of the River Elbe’s or the North Sea’s wind in your face.
