Fischbörse Cuxhaven in Cuxhaven

For me, this is the best fish shop. Everything is super fresh and the rolls are crispy from the bakery. I can't pass it by.

It was a fish platter that we ordered. It was very fatty, and the pollock, among other things, was not tasty at all. The other fish dishes were good. The presentation was very poor.

Super delicious food. I'll always go there when I'm in Cuxhaven.

You can eat super fresh fish. Very tasty.

We enjoyed it. Even my grandson found something he liked.

Delicious food and extremely friendly staff. A large, free parking lot is available for guests.

Here you can buy really good fish, tasty fish sandwiches and inexpensive canned fish.

The food is deliciously prepared and the prices are reasonable. The service has become more polite. Very nice.

Arguably the best fish restaurant. Pure, fresh fish, no frills, and the best value for money.

Unfortunately, it's past its best. The food is poorly presented; a fish platter comes with tartar sauce. The taste was okay. One star deducted for the broken toilet and the sticky table. The service did its job, nothing more, nothing less. A shame.

Great fish, excellent fresh fish for sale, or you can sit down for a snack in the neighboring restaurant. An absolute delight for fish lovers.

I think it's great there. The food is excellent, and we had a great time sitting outside. I'd love to go back.

Cuxhaven's No. 1 spot for many years. A rustic, simple ambiance with exceptionally delicious fish dishes and friendly staff.

Very, very tasty fish. Excellent value for money, top quality. Highly recommended.

Great experience. Super cozy and delicious food at fair prices. Thank you for that 🙏🏻

Unfortunately the fish was too salty for me but it was super fresh and the price is okay

Friendly staff, very fresh and tasty fish at good or normal prices!

Very good food in a rustic atmosphere. Plenty of fish for your money.

Authentic fish restaurant in the harbor area. You can eat it on the go or inside. The fish sandwiches are amazing, all freshly made. The terrace is simple, but somehow it all fits together. Authentic and rustic, superb.

Great fish restaurant. Great selection and great service. Very tasty and generous portions. I'd happily return again.

Great restaurant with delicious food. Excellent service and very good value for money. We were there in beautiful weather and were able to enjoy our meal outside with six people. When we're back in Cuxhaven, we'll definitely eat there again.

Simply delicious fish! We'll be back...

Always fresh fish. We like this area.

++ Friendly and competent service ++ Relatively reasonable prices ++ Large portions + Good food As long as it's still open (under renovation), a recommendation for good and relatively inexpensive food. Enjoy! Best regards, Bernd

If you like fish, you'll love the Fischbörse. 😍 The service is super friendly and the food is truly delicious. I come here every time I'm in Cuxhaven. Simply fantastic.

A great place to eat and relax, lots of old pictures of the harbor and ships, rustic but very cozy

Fish at the harbor is always good and the atmosphere is great, but the food on my last visit was not as tasty as I remembered.

Delicious fish specialties, always freshly prepared. The staff is consistently very friendly.

We ate here for the second time in two years. Back then, it only had 3 stars, but now it's only 1 star at most, and we'll never come back! We sat in the back of the restaurant, overlooking the partially open kitchen. At least 20 plates of prepared, miniature salads, probably from a jar, with a slice of lemon, were stacked on top of each other on the kitchen counter. I have no idea how long they had been there. No matter the temperature or the flies, no one seems to care. One meal was the "fine fish platter" with boiled potatoes, correspondingly expensive. The portion was sufficient, the fish was very oily, the potatoes were barely edible, hard in places, and somewhat old. Remoulade with the fish had to be ordered and paid for separately. The chef and the waitress seemed very listless. Not a smile or a friendly word. The table was sticky, and the glasses didn't seem clean or clear, as you'd expect. Paying over €50 for something like that (two dishes, the other being fries with cod) and everything carelessly served on the plate, never again. There won't be a third time and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Here you can eat as much fish as you like. It doesn't get any fresher!

There's nothing to think about here...if you love fish, you've come to the right place. Whether in the restaurant or the shop. Delicious fish platter for two. Fresh, smoked, or pickled fish to take away. Very friendly. Parking available. Restrooms available.

Best way to buy fresh fish in Cuxhaven

Authentic and simply delicious. Very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Fish without any frills. The fish is the absolute focus, and we enjoyed it immensely. The price-performance ratio is right. We received friendly service and were there for the second time. We like the fried potatoes best as a side dish.

Delicious food, great crew, everything just as you would imagine a fish market to be 👍🏻.

Fish is expensive these days but everything was fresh and really tasty 😋 🤤

A quaint restaurant with an open kitchen. The fish and fried potatoes were very well cooked, and the staff were very friendly.

We can only recommend the fish market.

We ate fish sandwiches here twice in a row, even though we were on vacation a good half hour away. The sandwiches are freshly prepared. Nothing has been sitting in the display for hours. The service was very friendly. You can also sit outside in front of the restaurant to eat your sandwich without taking a seat from other diners. It's certainly more difficult in bad weather. You can also pay with an EC card. Parking is free on one side of the street, and the other side requires a parking ticket (be careful!). There's also a free gravel parking lot across the street for the duration of your stay. The prices for both sandwiches and drinks were reasonable, and if you'd like, you can also pick up fish, fish specialties, and various sauces to take home. We'd be happy to come back if we're ever in the area again.

Hello everyone. We were in the self-service area of the fish market. We bought a fried fish, which was freshly prepared and very good. Of course, there's even more to choose from. The staff at the counter were friendly and quick.

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. We enjoy coming here every year. Update 2025: This year was probably our last visit. Too many convenience foods (the menu says frozen fried fish, and the waitress says fried potatoes come from a bag and therefore can't be made without bacon). And unfortunately, side dishes like fries have gotten much smaller. It's a shame, we always enjoyed going there.

Cuxhaven Fish Market – more than 4 stars Delicious fish sandwiches: freshly topped, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The value for money is absolutely spot on – top quality at fair prices. Friendly service and an overall very pleasant visit. 4.5 stars from me and a definite recommendation!

Very fresh fish. The restaurant serves some of the best fish in all of Cuxhaven! The prices are reasonable.

Was great, fast and friendly service that can also have a little fun

"Fish without remoulade – only for an extra charge?" We visited the Cuxhaven Fish Market, and the food was generally okay – solid for a fish sandwich or fish fry stand, as you'd expect. However, there was one thing that was truly surprising: almost all dishes didn't come with remoulade – it has to be ordered and paid for separately. For many guests, remoulade is simply a given with a fish dish. The extra charge feels like a hidden price increase. It's not about the few cents a small portion costs, but rather the feeling as a guest that they're cutting corners. It's a shame, because such little things often determine whether you return or choose a different stand next time.

Delicious fish and kids' meals. Good parking.

I had a fish plate with three fish fillets and fried potatoes. The fish was absolutely dry, and the fried potatoes tasted like old, sticky potatoes. The side salad was some kind of pickled food from a jar.

A very typical fish restaurant. For me, a visit to Cuxhaven without visiting the fish market is unthinkable. Very good food, super friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

The best fish restaurant and fishmonger in the area. Fish is cut and fried on site. Everything is delicious and fresh. A portion of fish plate with fries costs 16.30 euros. Three types of fish filleted. Great shop, fresh, smoked fish, and canned fish. Old waterfront atmosphere, exceptionally peaceful.

We only bought a whole smoked mackerel. It was excellent.

A very nice restaurant with a rustic interior and outdoor terrace. Very fast and extremely friendly service. A sufficient selection even for non-fish eaters (our children). And most importantly: it tasted excellent!

Good and affordable fish restaurant right on the fishing harbor! Highly recommended! Very rustic!

Everything is just right here! The ambiance inside and out: North Sea fishing. Fresh fish skillfully served. A master in the frying pan: cooked to perfection. Service very friendly and very fast. And all at reasonable prices. What was a bit annoying: two older gentlemen who ordered a currywurst with fries here of all places and complained that the restaurant smelled faintly (!) of fish.

A lovely, rustic fish restaurant with super friendly staff and incredibly delicious fresh fish. Eating here is an absolute must on any vacation. Keep it up!

Definitely recommended. Cuxhaven is simply not possible without the fish market.

It's located in the old fishing harbor, but the fish is super fresh. Highly recommended 👍

Simply beautiful, that's how you imagine a harbor restaurant.

Sehr guter frischer Fisch. Gambas zu empfehlen gute Portion.

Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Fischladen mit angeschlossenem Imbiss. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist sehr gut. Die Fischplatte für 2 Personen war sehr frisch. Okay, ein paar Krümel Salz mussten noch drauf, aber besser so als anders herum. Wer schickes Ambiente sucht und Wert legt auf Servicepersonal wie in einem 5-Sterne-Hotel, der sollte hier nicht hingehen. Wir waren für ein leckeres Mittagessen sehr zufrieden.

Very tasty fish restaurant fresh juicy large selection of side dishes and you can also buy fresh fish👍🏻

Super gebratener super frischer Fisch mit Bratkartoffeln, Kartoffelsalat oder Pommes zu sehr fairen Preisen. Es gibt auch einen sehr gut bestückten Verkauf von Frisch- und Räucherfisch. Schönes Hafen-Ambiente.

Very tasty food. Good value for money.

Really fair and good👍.... 1A Please stay the way you are. 🤗

Very good food! Always happy to come back!

It was shocking how long we had to wait for service, despite repeated requests. My request for a seat cushion for my severely disabled wife was ignored. The cod was unacceptable and tasteless, the fried potatoes cold, and everything carelessly thrown onto the plate – for a total of €50. Never again. Recommendation: avoid.

Family-run, quaint, and, in our opinion, the best fish restaurant in Cuxhaven. We were here several years ago. Nothing has changed. Delicious, large, affordable portions. The decor is so nautical. Awesome. 👍🏼

Bought very tasty fish 🐟 and ate it there too.

Ich war in dem Restaurant vor vielen Jahren Essen und bin heute mit guten Erinnerungen dort eingekehrt.a aber die baldige Schließung wegen Umbau des Hafens ließ alle guten Sitten des Betreibers über Bord gehen. Den Labskaus kann man essen. Etwas zu salzig und das Ei war zu fettig. Kartoffeln passen ja eigentlich ganz gut dazu, dann weniger Labskaus. Backfisch aus der Truhe geht für mich überhaupt nicht. Abzug Nummer eins. Die Portion mit zwei Filets ist am Ende so groß, dass man auch ein Filet frisch zubereiten könnte. Zwei Nebentische waren auch mit Essen unzufrieden. Die Toiletten waren total verschmutzt. Eine Tür für die Damentoilette ging nicht zu verriegeln. Wegen der Schließung wird laut Bedienung Nichts mehr investiert. Die Außenterrasse ist teilweise baufällig. Die Speisekarten sind mehr als lieblos. Alles im allem werde ich hier nie wieder essen und werde das Lokal nicht weiterempfehlen und sogar abraten dort zu essen. Wer seine Gäste nicht ehrt ist den Euro nicht wert.

We took some delicious crabs with us to peel ourselves.

Unfortunately, it was a bit slow today due to the crowd. The fish was very good and plentiful. I'd be happy to come again.

I ate at the restaurant many years ago and returned today with fond memories. However, the imminent closure due to renovations at the harbor has thrown all the owner's good manners out the window. Four stars for the Labskaus I had. The rest of the deductions follow. Fried fish from the freezer is completely unacceptable for me. Deduction number one. The portion with two fillets ends up being so large that one could have just been freshly prepared. Points deducted for that. Two neighboring tables were also dissatisfied with their food. The restrooms were completely filthy. A door to the women's restroom wouldn't lock. According to the staff, no further investment will be made because of the closure. Star deducted. The outdoor terrace is partially dilapidated. Third deduction. The menus are beyond lackluster. All in all, I will never eat here again and will not recommend the restaurant to anyone, and even advise against eating there. Anyone who doesn't respect their guests isn't worth the money.

A quaint fish restaurant right by the harbor. Here, you can still get fresh produce straight to your plate, and the quality and value for money are excellent. You can also pick up other delicacies at the fish counter next door. 🐟🐡🦞

Facebook, etc. Tourist trap, mass processing. Every other fish restaurant has better service and at least the same quality. The fish is served carelessly with a dollop of cheap store-bought side salad; you won't find any tartar sauce because you have to order it separately. The staff knows you'll only see each other once, and they treat you accordingly. The countless good reviews are completely incomprehensible, probably driven by social media again. I recommend a good, traditional fish restaurant to avoid disappointment.

The fish market in Cuxhaven is absolutely worth a visit! The dishes there are delicious – freshly prepared and authentic. The fish sandwiches are especially recommended, and you can also easily get them to go. The selection of fresh fish to take away is also large and of top quality.

A quaint fish restaurant. Great prices, delicious food. The fish market is my first stop whenever I visit Cuxhaven.

The place is unpleasant. The food was okay for the price. The service was not only unfriendly, ancient, and unpleasant to look at, but also quietly tried to increase her tip.

Fresher fish doesn't get any better! So delicious and cozy!

Essential Cuxhaven, fish straight from the sea, the fish is processed next door, it doesn't get any fresher, interesting & friendly ambience

Quaint restaurant with maritime decor. Fresh and delicious fish

We were truly impressed. The food was delicious and the service was prompt.

Very good selection of food and great decor which contributes to the overall experience of the restaurant visit

In any case, a large selection of fish specialties is very tasty and affordable. Self-caterers are also catered for here, with fresh fish to take away, smoked or pickled, from herring to eel, a very wide range.

Very tasty fish dishes, not overpriced and large portions.

Very tasty, very quaint, and everyone here is very friendly. When you see the pictures on the walls, you just want to know all the stories behind them. Simply a must when you're in town!

A simple and authentic restaurant. You can eat good and quite cheap fish there

We arrived just before closing time. There was no sign of a rush. The woman at the fish counter was super friendly. The fish was delicious. Full marks.

You can eat well here and also buy good fish to cook something delicious at home

This isn't a place for vacation. This is a place for bargains. Whenever we're in Cuxhaven, we head here. They have delicious fish here. Smoked fish for my better half. Herring in tomato sauce for me.

The €6 fried fish sandwich was a disgrace. A cheap sandwich, no salt on the fish, and the breading too thick and firm around a very thin fish fillet. At first, I thought it was a deep-fried cutting board.

If you love fish, you're in good hands here. We've been here twice because it was so delicious, and we'd love to come back.

This was our second time there, and unfortunately, I have to say we were both disappointed. The fish was tasty, but nothing special, and it was slapped onto the plate very carelessly. We waited almost an hour for our ordered haddock, which was then brought to us by a rather listless waitress. The table was greasy and sticky, and the restaurant smelled strongly of fish because it was fried in the middle. We won't be visiting this restaurant again.

Whenever we're in Cuxhaven, the first and last place we go is always the Fischbörse (fish market). However, only the fish shop, not the restaurant. We particularly enjoy the fish sandwiches here. They're always freshly prepared.

I shopped in the store. The saleswoman was very nice. Delicious products: smoked salmon, peppered mackerel, and the fish cakes were especially good. Well-cooked on the outside, juicy on the inside, and pleasantly seasoned. No comparison to discount products.

Yes, this place can be highly recommended. They serve super fresh fish at reasonable prices, and the service is prompt. The atmosphere is like a proper pub for eating and drinking a beer on the quayside.

We had Labskaus, and it was indescribably bad. I don't know what it was, but it wasn't Labskaus! It tasted like mashed potatoes from a packet mixed with instant powder, no trace of corned beef or beets, and the consistency was also terrible! Carelessly prepared, service unfriendly. Only the ambiance is quaint. Conclusion: Tourist rip-off! Once and never again. The fresh fish counter next door is brilliant, though!

The fish platter with fried potatoes is a hit. Very fresh and deliciously prepared, and beautifully served.

The service was good, edgy but with a soft touch 😉 We liked the surroundings, the fishing harbor. The atmosphere was great, the place is unique 👍 The fish was very good and beautifully presented. The prices were reasonable. We'll be back 😊

We were there with our dog for the first time. Unfortunately, it was far too warm for us and not particularly comfortable for the dog to rest. It was also raining, and we were prepared to eat outside. It was quite crowded, and the service was probably busy. Since we still hadn't seen anyone after 10 minutes, we left because of the reasons mentioned above. I can't award points for food or drink; we didn't make it that far.

Maybe it was a bad day. We were disappointed, but that's our personal opinion.

Nordic, affordable, and delicious. Our first choice for a snack between meals. The Nordic flavor is always evident in the service here, but for us, it's part of the culture.
