I am a little bit surprised that this grilled fish stand isn't in Yelp yet, since most of Berlin seems to know about it already. Here is the drill: show up around 12.30 or 13.00 on Saturday and order your whole mackerel or filet. You can then either hang around for half an hour or so or do some shopping. At this point, there's probably a space to sit down, and your order will have come to the front of the queue. So, basically, go on nice days, when wandering around the Winterfeldplatz market.
What you get for your wait is fresh, charcoal grilled, with perfect seasoning. I don't really think of Berlin as a seafood kind of town, but this food stall has made me reconsider, at least for Saturdays. read more
