Why Germans Are So Crazy About Fish Sandwiches | Filet-O-Fish German Style!

Germany is not exactly known for its street food. But in the city of Hamburg, innovative chefs are trying to change that - by updating Northern Germany’s quintessential street snack: the Fischbrötchen, or ‘fish sandwich’. People have been eating this simple, yet extremely tasty snack for decades now. Although the humble Fischbrötchen is considered by some to be a bit old fashioned, young chefs are trying to update its image; they’re introducing global influences, such as new spices, and striving to invigorate this staple of northern German street food with some unexpected flair.

I'd like to go to Germany some day to try these! As a Japanese person, the idea of eating a fish SANDWICH is incredible. Guten tag!

As an American living in Germany I have always appreciated their Fischbrötchen. There is a fresh fish food truck that comes to our town once a week. They have great fish on buns/rolls, people are always standing in line. I usually go for the classic - Lachsbrötchen - slices of salmon on a roll topped with marinated onions, pickles and reshly cracked black pepper. To die for!

Well, we dutch people love it to. And lets be honest, the Nordsee just has phenomenal fish. 3 Thumbs up to the Fischbrötchen, all over the globe

Got to go to Germany when I was in the USAF in 1974. We stayed for a week because of paperwork on the prisoners we were taking back to the US. Two German Air Force guys we met took us to see Hamburg and one of our treats was the fish sandwiches. Even back then, they were wonderful. I wish I could go back.

i once was on the island called rügen with my grandparents, i remember having a salmon sandwich from a takeawayrestaurant that was a boat, ive never had such a great salmon sandwich ever again. It was just so fresh, you cant really get that freshness when ur living in the middle/south part of germany. I also got told that the restaurant just opened at that time and before it opened it was out on the sea to catch the fish. I will never forgett that salmon sandwich, also cause there was so much salmon on it compared to them here in middle germany.

So I guess I’m watching a German fish sandwich videos now....YouTube is a dark hole

I grew up eating fish fingers sandwiches. Very glad to know there's a whole culture and such variety on the idea of fish sandwiches 👌

As a Polish person in Canada that grew up on pickled herring, this flavor would bring me home.

[bennassimi]

My dad was born and raised in Hamburg I showed him this video he said he would eat the herring everyday after school

I remember my parents eating bismarck sandwiches growing up in Berlin... obviously as a child I didn't want anything to do with herrings especially not if it's cooked but now I'm a middle aged man and had some in Hamburg a few years ago...I have to say it's not for everybody but I appreciate it from time to time, if not just some rollmops

I don’t blame them for liking it so much, it’s a local food they can get fresh, it’s a simple to prepare meal and it’s just overall a decent filling dish.

[Salamanca]

As a German I can confirm if you tried one of them you want more and more. They are so good ❤️

[Yesnoyesno]

I just had a couple of Bismarcks this week when I visited Northern Germany. I have to have them every time I go to Germany. Best regards from a Bismarck fan in Copenhagen, Denmark.

In my early days in Baltimore we used to have fried chicken and lake trout stores all over the city. They would have the best fried fish sandwiches dusted in cornmeal seasoned with Old Bay with a side of fries, that was dinner on a Friday night. You’d pair that with a half and half ( half lemonade, half iced tea) and a bean pie from the Muslims on the corner for desert. That was my go to for the season of Lent. Now the food scene has changed. Maybe we’ll get a lake trout food truck.

I am from the middle of Germany, but a fish sandwich I love to eat!

[adamtimson]

Lived in Germany for 3 years moved Back to the UK last year. Germany has a lot of healthy food options and they genuinely eat really healthy. There's Dean & David's which is kind of like a healthy food place serving salads smoothies etc and that's a chain throughout Germany. Also in the place I used to shop in (rewe) had a great salad selection were you help yourself. I lived in heidelberg which was a great place to live too. Visit Germany quite frequently now and yes got to say they have some excellent fish too.

[reggaepetteri]

Those sandwiches look so delicious! And I like the choice of music on the video. 😊 I wish I could someday visit Hamburg and try those sandwiches. 😋

[josephmathew]

Brucke 10 is the place to try these. These are guaranteed crowd pleasers. That crunch you hear is supercritical to the awesomeness of this sandwich. Ideally go to the Fischmarkt at 4 am and shop till your arms drop and then let this superb sandwich reward you for all the hard work. An unconfirmed rumour claims this sandwich cures the side effects of a night out at the Reeperbahn.

[steamerkind]

Just saw this one. German dude here and I can tell that all of the subtitles are perfectly correct!

[metalfrak]

Ich hätte jetzt echt Bock auf'n Krabbenbrötchen.
