Just as the name translates to "freshly caught", everything tasted simply fresh and local. We got the Nordic snack, fish soup, salmon burger, and salmon with potatoes, mushrooms and peas - everything was tasty. The soup that we started with was so flavorful and bold, with the skewered shrimp perfectly cooked. Incredibly generous portions. Very cozy, relaxed atmosphere with candles lit and quite full for 7p on a Tuesday. They also have a stand across the street by the water, featuring fish and chips plus fischbrotchen, bier and vino. It is a nice addition, people can eat by the water and relax.

It's like we went back in time. I think it's a an old fish farm that monks used to take care of…read more The grounds are beautiful. We went quite late, next time we will walk around a bit more. The decor is old wood, fish nets and old German decor. The only thing I would change is the chairs. Although comfortable, they seemed like patio chairs rather than dining room chairs. The servers were some of the kindest we had encountered, so soft and happy to accommodate any requests for drinks and food. Checked on us often and smiled lots. The food was perfect. Husband had the eel, mother-in-law had a fish salad and I had salmon wrapped in filo pastry with a side of squash (special of the day). All presented well and were super tasty. We can't wait to go back. And will bring visitors here when they are in town.

The ordering, the pager, the sitting down, the waiting, the picking up one's own food, the up and down and back and forth, to me, impacts the experience. Want another glass of wine? Back up to the counter, wait in line, pay, take it back to the table. It kinda sucks to be honest. Prices are fair- for a full service resturant, which this isn't. Nevetheless, always go back because the food is great, just wish it provided more of a relaxed dining experience!

I hope to try more food from this city along the Baltic Sea but for now it is a 4-star meal to me!…read more It was tougher to find English reviews and recommendations for Rostock than Berlin or Hamburg but I saw multiple recommendations online for Zur Kogge. I was worried that the tourist attraction would lack gastronomically. Thankfully, I was wrong. I arrived to find a large tour group dining and only one free table left. Throughout my meal, I witnessed many diners turned away because they were booked up (this was on a Monday night), so make sure to come early or make a reservation. If you want the best view of the nautical decor, reserve a table on the upper level. My drink and food orders were taken promptly even though they were BUSY. I ordered the Rostocker Export draught to start. It was a great pour and went perfectly with my food. I ordered the pumpkin ginger soup and I sat there for 10-15 minutes with my taste buds blown. It was served hot, with dark bread croutons and pumpkin oil. It was smooth but thick and warmed my entire body. I ordered the sauteed herring with potatoes and green beans (Frisch gebratene Ostseeheringe mit deftigen grünen Speckbohnen und Bratkartoffeln) as my entree. I hadn't had a fish with bone-in in a long time, so eating it was a bit of a challenge for me. The flavors were great but the dish overall was a tad heavy. Both the potatoes and green beans are sauteed in bacon grease. I left feeling content and fit in a nice 15-minute walk before getting on the bus back to Berlin. I will definitely bring friends along next time.

Don't let the name stop you from coming in -- here not only is fish served but also steak, vegetarian and basically typical North (Rostock) fisherman food. I ordered the Schollen -- it came with a nice fish plate and a generous amount of salad, sauce and either rice or french fries or croquettes (fried potatoes thingy) Try and get a table upstairs- cause there are plenty of old antiques hanging from the wall and nice huge blowfish also. The staff are friendly and perhaps you can also get the Platt-Deutsch menu and learn some words also! All in all, a nice restaurant, centrally located -- across from the harbour so you can also go for a walk after or before or what the heck go into the city for some shopping!

It's 47 degrees farenheit today and the soup warmed me to the core. Es ist lecker!!!!! So good! My eyes were bigger than my stomach so I also ordered the Große Scholle im Duett (flounder and shrimp). It comes with a side of potatoes and hollandaise sauce like I've never had before. It has something in it that I didn't expect. I can't quite explain. Less lemon that I'm used to and something aromatic. I don't exactly know what it is but it's unique and delicious. I wish I could have another stomach to eat everything because it's amazing. The waiter is nice about my terrible, broken German. I've read it's amazing to sit inside and choose your fish and watch it being cooked but I'm good with the patio-it's delightful out here!

We sat outside in the 'boat', which had a much better atmosphere than the inside. The boat is usually busy but we just waited at the bar for 10 minutes and got a nice table for 6. The price was very reasonable considering the quality of the food and the surroundings. 4 adults main courses and a bottle of wine (€21) and 2 desserts for the kids while we ate our mains €104 for everything. Bargain! It's also a beautiful town but I wouldn't bother with the big wheel next to the restaurant. The view was spectacular but it was €6 each for less than 5 minutes. I suppose it's something that you've just got to do! We were here during an annual festival (late July) which helped with the atmosphere - wonderful party vibe through the whole town.
