While touring the harbor area, our host family suggested that we eat at the Fischbrotchen Konig…read more It's a cute little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and a take-out window. The menu is a bit concervative, as they did not have a large selection. Despite that, everyone seemed to have been enjoying their meals.
I got and shared three dishes: Hamburger Krabbensuppe (shrimp soup), Krabbenbratwurst (shrimp sausage), Nordseekrabben (North Sea shrimp sandwich).
The Hamburg-special Krabbensuppe was a rich seafood soup with a generous portion of baby shrimp. Served with hot white bread. Grade: B
The Krabbenbratwurst was a shrimp sausage. Personally, I didn't get this dish. It was a plain white bread sliced open with a very dried out bratwurst, which tasted like canned turkey. Even the side packet of mustard didn't help this dish. Maybe I am not used to what this should taste like, but I did not enjoy it. Grade: D-
Nordseekrabben was a North Sea Shrimp Sandwich. Cute little baby shrimp put in a slide white bun and served with a little piece of lettuce. The shrimp had no flavor (I guess it allows you to taste the freshness?). Again, I didn't get this dish, as it was flavorless and dry. Grade: C-
I took a bite out of my table-mates fish and chips dish. The french fries / Chips were nicely cooked, but the fish tasted very oily and fishy. Perhaps it is not the kind of fish that I'm used to eating in the US? Not a fan again. Grade: C-
Nonetheless, it was nice to sit on the dock and enjoy a glass of beer.
