Fischbrötchen

A Fischbrötchen is a delectable sandwich originating from Northern Germany, renowned for its proximity to the North Sea and Baltic Sea. This mouth-watering treat typically features fish accompanied by a variety of flavorful toppings such as onions, pickles, remoulade, horseradish sauce, ketchup, or cocktail sauce.

When it comes to the fish, there are numerous choices available. You might encounter bismarck herring, soused herring, Brathering, rollmops, European sprat, salmon, smoked Atlantic mackerel, fried Atlantic cod, or other types of fish nestled within the bread. Sometimes, prawns and other seafood also make an appearance.

Fischbrötchen is a staple at fast food stands and take-out spots throughout Northern Germany. Interestingly, the Hanover Fair earned the nickname "Fischbrötchen Fair" due to the immense popularity of these fish sandwiches at the event. If you ever find yourself in Northern Germany, trying a Fischbrötchen is an absolute must!
