Best fried fish in town! Daniel Wischer on Steinstrasse is a well-known fish restaurant in Hamburg and has a long tradition. Here are some aspects that are often mentioned in a review: 1. Atmosphere: The restaurant exudes a rather rustic charm and is reminiscent of traditional fish restaurants. It's not necessarily luxurious, but rather down-to-earth and focused on the essentials. Anyone who appreciates an authentic, northern German fish house atmosphere will feel at home here. 2. Food: The house specialty is of course fish, and there is a large selection of fried or fried fish, fish rolls and fish soup. The portions are usually generous and the value for money is good.

The quality of the fish is often rated as fresh and good, although some visitors report that the dishes can sometimes be a bit greasy, particularly the fried dishes. 3.

Many guests take the opportunity to take a break here after a stroll through the city or a sightseeing tour. Conclusion: If you are looking for good, classic fish food in an uncomplicated environment, Daniel Wischer is the right place for you. It's not the place for a fine dining experience, but for down-to-earth seafood dishes in a relaxed atmosphere it's a good choice.

You can give 1 or 5 stars for the ambience. I gave the "old" design 5 stars because the ambience reminds me of my childhood. When I was 5 years old, I proudly believed my cask brew was a beer 🍺. The portions are smaller than back then, but still taste great! Unusual opening hours are 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. But if you stick to it! Bon appetit:-)

The fish and potato salad were delicious. The employees are extremely friendly. The furnishings are old, but very comfortable. We'll definitely come back.

We are living in 21st century, not medieval times. It is unbelievable that a highly priced restaurant in a tourist area in the city center only accepts cash. I am not supporting such tax evasion tactics.

The food was great. The service is very friendly. The atmosphere is great, I have enjoyed coming to the restaurant for many years.

Delicious fish dishes in a typical atmosphere. Very close to the main train station. Recommended

If you want to get to know a really old-fashioned fish fry kitchen with a traditionally furnished dining room, you should definitely go to Daniel Wischer. Everything here looks like it was in the 70s and the waitresses are friendly. The food is simple, but I like it. I think it's good that they haven't adapted to the zeitgeist here. This facility will definitely become modern again. 😉

We've been eating there since I was a child, at least 50 years, and always enjoy it. Simply a cult restaurant

Of course it is subjective and solely my attitude to the food that was served to me there. I'll put it this way: when I order a plaice fillet, I don't expect 3 pieces of fillet in a pan of breading that is prepared in the fryer. I want to eat fish and not oily breading from the fryer. The atmosphere has something of an old canteen. The poor, overworked waitress visibly tried to smile and be polite. It is absolutely not a place I would want to eat at again.

We love the old style. Like in our childhood.

We had crab rolls = delicious! What's embarrassing for such a popular business is that you can only pay with cash.

Very rustic fish restaurant from the 1920s in (virtually) “original” condition. Very friendly service, absolutely reasonable prices and delicious food. A must for fans of fried fish.

The classic: golden perch, potato salad and barrel soda. Great👍

I was very satisfied, very reliable and recommended at any time, especially the saleswoman "Ms. Walden is always very nice and has excellent skills - a big compliment for her"! The food is very tasty. ,,Everything fine,, Thank you as always good service,

very reliable, and recommended at any time, as always, fast, good service, the fish is freshly prepared. The fish is of good quality, my favorite dish is fish. "The saleswoman, Ms. Walden, is so nice and friendly and a big compliment to her." The price there was good and satisfied. Thank you

I found it quaint, as if time had stopped in the 80s

Quaint restaurant in HH City. It's worth a visit 😉.

A restaurant with the sophisticated charm of the 60s. Very tasty and friendly service. But no card payment.

Super delicious fish to go as well as in the restaurant. Service is super nice. Ambience a bit dated but absolutely suitable and with the right charm

A trip to Hamburg without visiting and eating fish is mandatory. The special experience in original surroundings

I have known Daniel Wischer since my childhood, where my parents, and later I with my own family, still go out to eat today. I give it 5 stars for everyone Categories, food, service, ambience. In Steinstrasse, good service, good fish food.

Fish restaurant with tradition.

2024 and you can only pay in cash!!?? That simply doesn't work!

For as long as I can remember, there's always been food here. This has been going on for probably 20 years now! And always the same! A must for everyone to eat here!

We love eating 🐟Fish & Chips 🍟 in this traditional restaurant on Steinstrasse. The service is always friendly and you are served quickly, even if it is a little busier at lunchtime. A little renovation might not be a bad idea. Otherwise, we'll always be happy to come back!

Limited menu, food of well-known Wischer quality, friendly service

Always great to eat here, soak up the traditional atmosphere and enjoy fresh fried fish :-)

Let's eat 60 years ago. Whenever we are in Hamburg we go here to eat at least once. Top service and the food is simply great

This store needs to be closed! I got food poisoning here, I should have known better given the smell. Never again

Very tasty food. Staff friendly.

Always a pleasure in terms of taste. And the shop is also an experience: a jump in time to the 60's!

I've been eating fish at Daniel Wischer's since I was a child. The restaurant on Steinstrasse has an atmosphere like it did 50 years ago. Everything works for me and the fish always tastes good. If you're looking for Hamburg, you have to eat there.

Old school nostalgic, good food. Nice service😁👍.

The place is nice, quiet and the food is delicious. The staff is very friendly. Definitely recommend it!

I come to Wischer on every business trip. The fried fish is excellent!! The staff leaves a lot to be desired, a lady with a slightly better build, Eastern accent, gray hair was so rude that I left. I ordered a fried fish sandwich, whereupon she pointed sloppily at the menu and told me I should read it properly before I started speaking. Therefore, never again Daniel Wischer on Steinstrasse.

Long-established institution in Hamburg. Formerly on Mönckebergstrasse. We like the current location because it brings back a piece of home and memories. The homemade potato salad is simply great and regardless of the fish dishes, the quality is always great. In addition, one should not forget the staff. Always in a good mood, friendly, sometimes a nice chat and when there is time a bit of small talk. We have known Daniel Wischer for more than 30 years and have always been very satisfied.

Fish in batter, sliced ​​too thinly for my taste and therefore rather bland. Salmon and potato salad very tasty??Wine selection very cool! Finest Art Nouveau and traditional 🥰 Similar experience to the Figlmüller in Vienna

Tired of walking and very hungry, we passed in front of this place and decided to go in. As soon as we entered the waitress smiled at us and took us to our table. It is a very large place, decorated in a very simple way, wooden tables and chairs, some paintings and boat decorations. The menu is not very long but very appetizing. We wanted to try the calamari but they were already out of it. So we decided to have the fried cod, fish and chips type, with fries. We also had a glass of white wine which we didn't like very much. Relatively quickly our food arrived. There are good pieces of cod and a plate of French fries on the side. It was very fresh and very rich, not oily at all. You have to try those calamari again.

Mega-tasty food, even when cooked piecemeal! Perfect for your lunch break.

Food still great quality and very friendly service. The last time I ate here was 28 years ago

Good fish cuisine, everything in order, friendly staff

Lunch at Daniel Wischer, Steinstraße 15, very tasty fish as usual, all side dishes from our own kitchen. Very cozy atmosphere, still from the time when my mother always took me to eat fish at the end of a shopping trip in the city center. Back then the order was always “golden perch, potato salad and barrel soda”.

Good fish sandwiches, but nothing special. As a note: sauce on the fish rolls must be requested at an additional cost. The staff doesn't point out that the rolls don't have any sauce.

The plaice didn't work at all. No longer recommended I could have eaten the fish just as easily in the North Sea. The only thing was the fish soup which was good. We won't be coming back. We'll have to look for another location

The most authentic Hamburg fish restaurant for us Rhinelanders. And the facility is almost worthy of monument protection. Today we would have preferred to sit outside. But that doesn't work there. Everything else compensates double or triple. We can do it again!

Ordered pan-fried fish, with fried potatoes, - lukewarm potato salad was served, with oil, 2 dry pieces of fish, without remoulade, But 1 piece of lemon included. - Remoulade mini bowl was reordered and an extra 2 euros were charged. Was better years ago.

They can still fish. Top quality and fast service.

Where the fish still tastes delicious!

Only for people who like fish. I was one of them and I was thrilled. I had green herrings (3 pieces) and delicious potato salad. The restaurant area is sufficiently ventilated. You don't smell like fried fish afterwards. We'd love to come back.

Fish cake...highly recommended. Please note that only cash payment is possible. It's just tradition. No frills just honest food and very good service.

Der Backfisch mit Kartoffelsalat war ein absoluter Genuss. Der Fisch total frisch und der Kartoffelsalat hat wirklich wie hausgemacht geschmeckt. Dazu war der Service sehr gut. Die absolut zentrale Lage am Rathaus ist auch perfekt. Wir kommen wieder!

Attention: unfortunately cash only... Very old traditional restaurant in Hamburg, an institution. There is the 2nd one at the town hall, but I like the old shop more 😁 Always very tasty fish dishes, friendly colleagues who try hard despite the stress. This time it was Green Matthias 👍I just keep missing the spice, but it's a matter of taste 😉

A fish restaurant, like when I was a child. The audience is predominantly older. No wonder, today's generation hardly knows these dishes from home anymore, given the many fast food options. For us it was fantastic! Great fish plate as fried fish with potatoes and cucumber salad. Really homemade, very tasty and great price. Nice service, friendly staff. It was very

Unique quality for decades. A must go!!

Technically, time stood still, which I thought was great, it was like traveling back in time 20 years. The service was very attentive and professional, and the food was great too! I absolutely recommend the homemade fish cakes with potato salad...

A classic fish fry kitchen with the flair of the old days. The fish is freshly fried, the portions are large and the fish is of good quality, the side dishes are also perfect, and the good service rounds everything off well. The cuisine is not for the slim line but is definitely a Hamburg original and worth every visit. Price performance is also more than fair!

Fast service, good food at a reasonable price, the only drawback: there is no more mayonnaise potato salad😒

The food was not overcooked and the portions were generous. I recommend the fish soup. It is recommended not to pour the sauce on the meal, the original flavor is also very delicious.

Super nice service 😊😇 the food was super delicious, my favorite was labskaus, the other dishes were also super delicious 😋 👍 Greetings Dirk 🤗

We had lunch here and waited for our train to leave. We had a delicious meal and storing our suitcases was no problem. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our daughter also had a lot of fun. Thank you!

I'll always come back, Daniel Wischer is a must when visiting Hamburg, the food is very tasty and the service is very friendly. I can only recommend...

It's a shame, but the lackluster service and the ambience cannot be reconciled with the bonus of my positive memories of my youth. Unfriendly service, the guest has the feeling that he is annoying. No card payment, conclusion, food is fine, the rest is a no go

The fish restaurant is an old Hamburg institution where I had gold perch, bacon potato salad and Fassbrause many, many years ago. And I still like it.

The soup was tasty, but the behavior of the cook was not. The cook or cook's helper has been waging a private feud against me for a long time because I don't respond to his unfunny jokes. Today he shouted after me halfway across the store so that the other guests noticed that I should clear my table before I left. Disgusting employees

As always, tasty food. I still know Daniel Wischer from my childhood. Almost everything tasted so good. Unfortunately the taste of the salad has changed a bit. Used to be more intense. But otherwise everything was great.

As always, great quality for over 60 years. Thank you

I had the matjes that was great

Very good fish dishes and friendly service.

Unfortunately the panfish was drowned in sauce and was nowhere to be seen. Served with unsalted potato slices. Plate much too small. I remember this name much better. And €18.50 for this dish isn't exactly cheap.

I have known this restaurant for over 50 years and always enjoy eating here! Fish, potato salad and Fassbrause are super tasty 😋. The furnishings have changed very little. I feel like I'm a child when I eat here👍

Superb team lunch 👌 loved every second with the life team.

One of the best fish restaurants in an old atmosphere in Hamburg.

As always, it was very tasty. But the barrel shower is still best

Daniel Wischer is an institution in Hamburg and so it's almost a tradition to eat fish here. But the ravages of time seem to be eating away here too. The location is somewhat hidden and parallel to Mönckebergstrasse. We do not accept credit cards. It is already posted on the entrance door. Is this contemporary when many companies are moving away from cash payments? The atmosphere has the charm of the good old days. White tablecloths lie on the tables. But take away meals are also offered. For many seniors, this is a popular lunchtime meeting place. The range of dishes on offer is quite clear and simple. I choose golden perch with homemade potato salad (€16.50). The 0.2 l Diet Coke costs €3.00. The service is average. The ordered food and drink are quickly served. Unfortunately, the presentation is not particularly appealing. The fresh fish is served in a small "mountain" on a plate that is far too small. The potato salad doesn't look particularly appealing either. The taste of everything is average at best. You can't have everything you want or imagine here. I now have to pay €22.50 in cash. There is no WIFI INTERNET here.

Daniel Wischer-als Fisch-Restaurant- ist eine Institution mit Tradition in Hamburg. In diesem Restaurant scheint die Zeit stehen geblieben zu sein. Von außen unscheinbar betritt man dieses Restaurant zur Mittagszeit. Die Lage ist etwas abseits der bekannten Einkaufsstraßen. Dennoch liegt es parallel zur Mönckebergstrasse. Drinnen ist alles in braunem Holz ( Kirschbaum?) gehalten. Weiße Tischdecken liegen auf den Tischen. Die Gäste sind heute zur Mittagszeit fast ausschließlich Senioren. Auch die weibliche Bedienung ist älter. Take away wird auch angeboten. Ich bestellte Goldbarsch mit hausgemachten Kartoffelsalat (16,50 €) und eine kleine Cola Light (0,2 l = 3,00 €). Die Präsentation hat mich nicht angesprochen. Der Berg an Fisch lag auf einem viel zu kleinen Teller. Auch der Kartoffelsalat ( hausgemacht) erweckte bei mir keinen Appetit. WIFI-INTERNET ist nicht verfügbar. KREDITKARTEN werden nicht akzeptiert. Nur Barzahlung. Das steht auch draußen an der Eingangstür. Mein letzter Besuch liegt rund 10 Jahre zurück. Ich fürchte, dass auch mein nächster Besuch so lange auf sich warten lässt.

Atmospheric restaurant. There is self-service at the front, and a restaurant with service in the further part. I ordered fish in mustard sauce and I must say that if it weren't for the sauce, I wouldn't have been able to eat it, because the fish didn't have much of its own flavor. A bit like lightly salted cardboard. The salmon was delicious! Very nice waitress. The lady who takes care of the toilets on the first floor glances sideways for tips, and if you don't give anything, you won't hear "goodbye" anymore. A bit weak.

So good that I forgot to take the obligatory food photo! That says it all. Only when it comes to fries would I personally prefer the wide Belgian ones, but everything was excellent, freshly made and everyone was happy.

I am now 78 years old and have enjoyed eating at Daniel Wischen's since I was a child. I was extremely satisfied every time. During our last visit today on February 2nd, 2024, my wife and I unfortunately discovered that our beloved golden perch fillet was full was bones. In all our years we have never experienced anything like this. Once again experience that the quality here is no longer what it used to be? It would be a shame. However, the service maintained its usual friendly and guest-oriented attitude as ever. We would like to thank you very much. H.G.Umland (formerly Hamburg now Sittensen)

Delicious fish for lunch. Service quick and nice

Restaurant im Stil der Endfünfziger. Reelle Portionen, faire Preise, urige Atmosphäre, sehr nettes und gradliniges Personal und kein Schickimicki. Hier bekommt man einfach was man bestellt. Reichlich und lecker. Ich gehe immer wieder gern dort hin

Gute und einfache Fischgerichte ohne Chi-Chi. Schade, dass es keine Bratkartoffeln gibt, sondern frittierte Kartoffelscheiben. Das ist dann etwas viel aus der "Fritte",xwenn man Backfisch hat. Ich mag den Gurkensalat mit Dillrahm sehr. Preislich auch total in Ordnung. Service sehr aufmerksam. Das DW in der Steinstr. besticht durch das kultige 60er-Interieur. Hoffe, das bleibt auch so erhalten und wird nicht gentrifiziert.

Was war da los? Das Dorschfilet hatte Gräten , war trocken und die Panade geschmacklos… schade, vor einigen Wochen habe ich gut dort gegessen

Es ist nett, traditionsreich und klassisch. Das Retro Gefühl kommt nicht nur durch das 60er Jahre Mobiliar sondern auch durch die sehr Karte, die sehr klassische Backfischvarianten enthält. Auch das Publikum war etwas "älter" und so ist das Ganze eine Reise in die Vergangenheit - aber im positiven Sinne. Ein bisschen mehr Mut beim Würzen und es ist perfekt. Büsumer Scholle war sehr gut. Die Portionen sind großzügig

A road trip back. Authentic fish served from authentic personal.

Guter Service, etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Restaurant, aber sauber. Essen gut, traditionelles Fischrestaurant

Eigentlich ein toller, alteingesessener Laden mit ebensolchem Ambiente, mag ich sehr. Heute habe ich ein Seelachs-Schnitzel Fischbrötchen zum Mitnehmen geholt. Die Dame hinterm Tresen war sehr nett und hat das Brötchen frisch gemacht; der Tresen ist hoch, ich konnte nicht zusehen. Zuhause dann du Box geöffnet und mir direkt die Klamotten versaut 😡 Siehe Bilder, alles schwamm im Fett…das geht gar nicht Klar, Seelachsschnitzel sind salzig und fettig, aber so??? Nein, das ist ekelig, ich konnte das Brötchen nicht zu Ende essen

Schön dass es noch lokale gibt wo es nicht auf schiki miki geht sondern um das essen.

Ich kenne Daniel Wischer, das Essen und die Filiale in der Steinstraße seit gut 50 Jahren, da ich dort schon als Kind mit meinen Eltern essen war. Das leckerste war für mich immer der Kartoffelsalat dort. Nur mit Essig und Öl zubereitet, aber irgendwie schmeckte er einfach superlecker... Tja, schmeckte, oder besser hatte geschmeckt... Denn beim heutigen Besuch war ich leider maßlos enttäuscht von diesem Kartoffelsalat. Sehr viele Kräuter sind ja noch ok, aber das Dressing dazu war viel zu süß, und hatte keine Ähnlichkeit mehr mit meinem Lieblings-Kartoffelsalat. Sehr schade, hab das meiste liegenlassen...

Ein Laden wie man Ihn aus den Filmen der 60er Jahre kennt. Ein Fach toll, da sehr sauber super Fisch, und top Service. Schade dass die Bedienungen nicht weiße Schürzen mit Spitze haben wie früher. Geht natürlich um den Laden in der Steinstraße

Super Location sehr zu empfehlen wer Fisch mag ist hier genau richtig

Ein sehr uriges Fischrestaurant. Das Personal sehr nett und freundlich. Essen super lecker. So stelle es ich mir in Hamburg ein Fischrestaurant vor, ohne viel schischi und Klimbim.

we found this place by accident as our bus stopped right in front of it. We quickly ran inside as on Saturday they are closing at 15. food was fresh and tasty, beer was light and plenty, and service was with a smile 😃. what else could you wish for on a rainy day in Hamburg. I would definitely come again.

Gutes Fischrestaurant mit Tradition - guter Service - gute Preis-Leistung - auf ein nächstes Mal

Weiter so es ist einmal,dass es solche Menschen und gastronomischen Einrichtungen noch gibt.

Ich war mal wieder in meiner Heimatstadt und habe mir dieses mal die große Fischterrine bestellt und was soll ich sagen..ein Traum zum Löffeln. Sämtliche Daumen sind oben 👍 👍👍👍👍

Ein Fischlokal wie früher. Hier essen die Hamburger im Gegensatz zum Ableger am Rathaus. Netter Service.

Wie immer ein schöner und leckerer Besuch bei Wischer. Wir sind immer dabei Traditionslokale auszuprobieren und bei Gefallen wieder zu besuchen. Dieses ist eines davon. Bitte weiter empfehlen!

Jungenderinnerung! Backfisch mit hauseigenem Kartoffelsalat und dazu 'ne Fassbrause. Gab's immer beim Einkaufen in der Mönkebergstrasse. Schmeckt heute noch genauso gut....

Nachdem ich normalerweise immer am Rathaus war habe ich diesmal das Lokal in Steinstraße besucht und muss sagen ich bin begeistert. Zwar kann man hier nur in bar bezahlen und nicht mit Karten, aber sonst würde ich es zukünftig dem Standort am Rathaus vorziehen, und ja ich habe am nächsten Tag die Gegenprobe gemacht. Wenn man das Original erahnen will klar die bessere Alternative.

Basit ve lezzetli. Fish and chips yedik, porsiyonu büyük ve 11 euro.
