Fischbörse Cuxhaven in Cuxhaven

Nun, ich hatte einen privaten Termin in Cuxhaven und noch etwa 2 Stunden Zeit bis dato. Es war etwa 11.30 Uhr und das Frühstück lag schon einige Stunden zurück, so kam der kleine Hunger zur Mittagszeit auf. Da das Lokal in Bahnhofsnähe zu Fuß gut zu erreichen ist, schien es mir geeignet für eine Probe der warmen Küche. Die Küche in meiner Heimat dem Nordharz ist traditionell sehr wildlastig und wenn ich schon mal an der Nordseeküste bin, dann sollen es auch Seefischgerichte sein, die bei mir daheim doch eher selten serviert werden. Das Wetter war frühlingshaft sonnig und lud zum Freisitz vor dem Restaurant ein. Kurz innen Bescheid gegeben, nahm ich draußen Platz, wie nach mir auch noch 4 andere Gäste. Prompt wurde die Karte geliefert und es konnte losgehen. Sehr schnell viel meine Entscheidung auf den "Kapitänsteller" (3 hochwertige Fischfilets in der Pfanne gebraten mit Bratkartoffeln und Salatbeilage) dazu bestellte ich noch eine Portion Remouladensauce extra und einen Softdrink, da ich später noch Autofahren musste. Was soll ich sagen, die Fischfilets waren Kabeljau, Rotbarsch und Lachs und die Bratkartoffeln, obwohl aus vorgekochten Kartoffeln gebraten (Gastronomie eben), sehr schmackhaft. Ich bin durchaus ein Schwergewicht und war sehr gesättigt. Alles richtig gemacht. Ich hielt mich etwa eine Stunde an dem Freisitz dieses Lokals auf, aber wer beobachtet hat, was in dieser Stunde dort an Essen verkauft wurde, der wird guten Gewissens wieder kommen. Viele Einheimische Arbeitnehmer verbringen dort gern ihre Mittagspause. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis war stimmig, das Servicepersonal arbeitete zügig und zuvorkommend, so dass ich der Rechnung gern etwa 4 €uro Tipp hinzufügte. Von Montag bis Donnerstag gibt das Lokal seine Öffnungszeit von 11.00 bis 17.00 Uhr an und wem es in dieser Zeit nach lecker Seefisch gelüstet, sollte dort unbedingt einkehren. Wenn ich das nächste Mal in Cuxhaven bin, komme ich sehr gern wieder!

Located in the heart of the old fishing harbor in the former fish auction halls, the Fischbörse is a maritime fish restaurant and fish market, or rather, a trade. The decor takes you back years and reminds you of a rustic sailor's pub. The fish tasted delicious and, above all, fresh. Very friendly staff, great decor, and a huge selection of fish dishes. I can therefore highly recommend this location for fish lovers. 👍

It doesn't get any fresher than this! The Fish Exchange not only has a restaurant, but also a fish counter – and there I got a Bismarck roll that absolutely won me over. Perfectly marinated fish, crispy onions – so good you don't even miss the sauce. Simply pure enjoyment!

Delicious, delicious, delicious! And fast. Whether you get a fish sandwich to go or have lunch in the quaint restaurant, it's worth it. Friendly service in the restaurant. You can also see all sorts of fishing equipment.

I came to eat with my family. The ambiance and location of the restaurant are very good, but the waiters are very cold to the customers (and not just to us). The food could have been prepared with a bit more love; it's just fried in fat and thrown onto plates. What bothers me most is that the children are unfriendly. We didn't even get a "welcome."

Super tasty. I come back every year and have never been disappointed

Very good fish dishes on offer. I choose a fish platter with fried potatoes, my husband chooses cod with fried potatoes. Both tasted good, we were missing a little salt and they could have been a little crispier but that's a matter of taste. The fish is tender and tender, not a single bone. The sometimes icy cold through the entrance door and the door to the fish shop bothered us. I then put the jacket over my legs so I could stand it. The service initially took a lot of time to operate and we also had to remember when paying.

Lecker Fisch und alles was dazu gehört. Mega lecker..

Quaint restaurant, very maritime and down-to-earth. Not at all as fancy as other fish restaurants. The food is super good and delicious. Huge portions. We'll keep coming back, that's clear to us

Everything very tasty and very fresh Very nice staff We'll definitely be back

Ate very tasty. Fish platter for 2 people, clear recommendation. Gladly again

A nice place with very tasty fish dishes. When we are in Cuxhaven, eating here is a must for us.

Saturday evening it was a beautiful sunny day and many guests in the restaurant. Two very young people in service who were friendly but with little experience and a woman did the kitchen. The team was hopelessly overwhelmed. We had fish cakes with fries, there was nothing wrong with that, and the fisherman's breakfast with North Sea crabs, fried potatoes and fried eggs. An expensive dish on the menu. The crabs were musty, no longer fresh and the fried potatoes didn't deserve the name. Consistency and taste a 4-. There is the restaurant and fish shop next door which was busy all day. This raised high expectations that were not fulfilled. Too bad. When I was paying, I asked the young man in service if anyone had dropped out. No, that's not the case, he said with surprise when asked. There's a lot going on with the nice weather. Besides, there seemed to be only tourists in the restaurant.

Fried potatoes very tasty with a fish platter

Quaint, rustic and cozy fish hall with a real harbor character. The food tastes excellent, the portions are filling, the prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly.

Excellent, super fresh fish. Top quality in a very simple location with very reasonable prices. Friendly and quick service. Only a few dishes for vegetarians. If you're an animal every now and then, then this is the right place for it!

We always enjoyed coming here because of the good food. This time it was closed even though it said open on the internet. You should change that so as not to annoy your guests if you come from further away.

The ambience was good. But: the service was unfriendly. The fish (from the "noble fish plate") was swimming in oil. The fried potatoes were tough and burnt. Thrown away 20 euros and walked through Cuxhaven all afternoon with a bad taste in my mouth.

Delicious, inexpensive fresh fish, well-kept drinks and good service.

Hello. Edit: I was here again on February 22nd, 2025 - for a smokie roll (matjes). It still only cost 4 euros. If you want to buy fresh fish you have to come here. --- Almost every time we are in Cuxhaven, I buy a herring roll at the fish counter at the fish exchange. It doesn't get any fresher. And the price is absolutely reasonable for the quality. On March 2nd, 2024 I paid four euros for the eel smoked herring roll.

Fish always good and plentiful. Fried potatoes, always. mew.

Mega fresh, delicious fish dishes and super cheap too.

Today we had dinner in this quaint restaurant. There is a large kitchen island in the middle of the restaurant. There you can watch the very hard-working chef sizzle. He also has to collect money. Our respect for that 👍 The food he prepares is extremely delicious. We ordered plaice with bacon and fried potatoes. The plaice was thick and fried to perfection. The fried potatoes were very good and not soggy. The small salad on the side had a very tasty dressing. So everything was very tasty. We will definitely come back here to eat. 5 🌟 of us for that!!!

Food right at the source was very tasty. If you don't have enough, you can theoretically take more fresh fish to take home with you right next door... I can only recommend a visit to the fish exchange.... ........... Bon appetit

Delicious !! Great and fresh fish

Very quaint old restaurant, has something of a snack bar. However, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. Very nice, an old traditional restaurant. It doesn't always have to be high gloss. We had a lovely evening

Very tasty fish sandwiches and friendly service

Quaint fish restaurant with reasonable prices.

Bought fresh fish and was thrilled with the selection. Price/performance is right and very fresh quality rounds off the purchase 👍

Very good meal, thank you very much

Always fresh fish, everything was super tasty

Eating fresh fish in the old fish halls right at the harbor in Cuxhaven - it couldn't be more authentic or better. Panfish with three types of freshly caught fish with a delicious remoulade and crispy fried potatoes...mmmhhh my mouth is still watering. The boss Kai is a real young man from Cuxhaven...likeable.

Leckeres Essen zu fairen Preisen.

Not in the restaurant but in the shop next door.

Very tasty food. Everything fresh. It is also possible to purchase fresh fish in the shop.

Very good fish restaurant, but your clothes smell like chip fat afterwards. Here you can get full for little money.

Very good food. Fish fresh and delicious. Good service, the food was at the table quickly. Fried potatoes could have been a little more. We were satisfied and will eat there again. Price are good.

We left off eating badly. Unfortunately

I like to buy fish here when I'm stoned and it's always fresh and tasty but I'm still hungry :(

The food in the restaurant was very tasty. The fried potatoes are great. The fish is also extremely tasty. The service is friendly and quick. The ambience is rather sober, but in this case the good, fresh taste takes precedence. During the day you can also buy fresh fish, as well as fish sandwiches - these are also highly recommended. 12/2024: The temperature in the guest room was very low. It was anything but comfortable.

Delicious local seafood in diner atmosphere. We had local fish and portions were generous. Stop by the store, next door, to take home fresh local catch, smoked fish or canned delicacies.

By chance we were in Cuxhaven (well, whether that has to happen again?) and ended up here (it definitely has to happen again). The shop was incredibly full, you had to wait a long time. It was worth it. The staff did their best under stress and were always friendly. Great ambience. I didn't even know where to look first. The food was fantastic. If I happen to come here again, I will definitely come to the fish market. Absolutely recommended.

Good saleswoman. He put in a lot of effort

The food was very good. The atmosphere is very nice and the young adult waiters do their job perfectly and bring a good mood to the restaurant

Delicious fish, portions for very hungry people

Rustic atmosphere. The food was great. We had the fish market platter. Plenty of fish with delicious fried potatoes. The price-performance ratio is top.

The plaice fillet with fried potatoes - 1- The service, OneMan show - a little understaffed, but very friendly Ambience: Extremely drafty and cold. It moved like "pike soup" - guilt, exhaust system...

Whenever we are in Cuxhaven we eat at the fish exchange. The ambience and the fish dishes are great and also very varied. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty and fresh fish at good prices

Great for eating fish. Good price-performance ratio. Very cozy.

A rustic sailor's restaurant with lots of pictures, posters and ship models to look at, creating a truly maritime atmosphere. There were also very good fish dishes that we really enjoyed. During normal shop opening hours you can also get fish and various seafood salads in the adjoining fish shop. We would love to come back here!

A rustic restaurant with an atmosphere, we ordered mussels and were thrilled. Plus a Portuguese white wine. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back 👌

2024: Two 10 days in Cuxhaven definitely means 1 fish sandwich every day. They don't have the best fish sandwiches here... here they have the VERY BEST!!! Quality in the restaurant remains consistently great and without any frills. However, the last time we visited in November it was very cold in the restaurant, which wasn't great. 2023: We have eaten here several times in the past 10 days. Every time we were very satisfied. Food was GREAT and FRESH. Changing the types of fish was possible without any problems, even at no extra charge. In the FISCHBÖRSE you can eat fish without any frills. The shop next door also has the best fish sandwiches, the best service and TOP ADVICE. We can recommend the fish exchange 100%. 2022 - 2000: Simply TOP!!!

Delicious Price performance ok I'd love to come back.

The portions are manageable, fish was very fresh and tasty, staff didn't smile for guests, maybe poor pay, temporary staff are cheaper?!

Good selection and nice service. Parking for guests is free across the street.

Really rustic, harbor atmosphere, a Portuguese crew in the fish exchange, really good food... we particularly like the Labskaus... and a well-tapped Becks. That's really good. The restaurant is full, so be there on time 👍🏽😊

The food was very tasty, service was quick and friendly, what more could you want. Highly recommended.

As a Berliner, eating fresh fish is great... and here the plate with three types of fish was a dream, the fried potatoes were really great...

good and rustic harbor fish restaurant

Wonderful! Delicious, fresh food and super nice service. We were there during our long weekend Been there twice and will be back!

Quaint restaurant/quick snack bar selling fresh fish. Here you can eat really good, quick, fresh fish cheaply. We ate the fish platter for 2 people and 1 crab soup. Both were good. Everyone can choose the side dish for the fish platter, the potato salad was very good, the fish (pollock?) was plentiful, fried with flour, but nothing special. However, I found the crab soup very tasty.

The fine fish platter was very tasty and plentiful. The restaurant is rustically furnished with many sailor bikes and ships. We liked it.

A great place for a fish sandwich. Freshly prepared, more than well topped and very, very friendly staff. We'll definitely be back!!

The restaurant is rustic but serves good food, good value for money. The fish is always fresh. The associated shop next door is great. The staff always friendly! The fish is great, freshly caught every day!

When we are in Cuxhaven, we always eat the fish platter here. Always a lot and always delicious.

Recently eaten here: Fish Exchange Platter. There were 3 fish fillets, some of which were rubbery, dry, barely browned and relatively tasteless. Plus a piece of lemon. You don't have to have that!

The food was really very tasty, we had fish, the service was really friendly and accommodating, a big compliment!😁 I'll be happy to come back

Very tasty, very friendly and at reasonable prices. Highly recommended👍👍👍

Rustic restaurant, everything is good, home-style, food is excellent, inexpensive

Very tasty food. Portions are more than sufficient. Except for the children's meals, it is always 3 pieces of fish + a side dish and a dollop of salad. Perfectly fried and super tasty. We always enjoy coming here.

I ended up there by chance with a few friends. It wasn't a mistake to go in. Rustic atmosphere, friendly and quick service and the freshly prepared fish dishes were very tasty. I would eat here again in a heartbeat.

We had the cutter plaice and cod, both with fried potatoes. The food was very good and we were served friendly and quickly. Gladly again.

Delicious fish, rustic location, good price/performance ratio - it's great, we'll be back again

I have never experienced such unfriendly service in my life.

Old restaurant, rustic, we liked it. The food was delicious, of course fish and the shrimp plate was also great. Not exactly cheap, but if you love crabs... The service was friendly.

Otherwise, it's a nice harbor restaurant with no frills, you feel like you've been transported back to earlier times. This is great, it couldn't be fresher

Delicious fresh fish sandwiches!

The tastiest fish sandwiches ever.

Fish 🐟 delicious 😋, ambience is getting old

The fish market is a must for us. As always, the food was great, the service was friendly and nice. See you soon.

Quality as it should be. Local with tradition.

Original, charming fish restaurant

The enjoyment of fresh fish is unique

Very nice fish restaurant and serves very good fish, the service is also great. The furnishings are very nicely done and make you feel comfortable. Definitely coming back...

Always a pleasure, still super delicious food, a must visit every time you stay in Cuxhaven 🙈👍

The fish was very tasty. We sat on the terrace but the place looked very quaint.

We were there at around 6 p.m., one service for the entire restaurant... well, we already waited 15 minutes for the menu. The food was now rather average, unfortunately the price/performance ratio wasn't really right. We paid €58 for two people without a starter. The service wasn't exactly friendly either and seemed rather annoyed and listless. The ambience is nice, but everything needs to be renewed (very yellowed). Also, unfortunately my beer glass was dirty🤷🏼‍♂️

Probably the oldest restaurant with fish 🐟 sold at the harbor. Always happy again 😁

You can eat very well here. Can only be recommended

When you are in cuxhaven🤩 you definitely have to go to the fish exchange... It's delicious and you get very fresh fish served🤤

Great herring roll. Never eaten one so good. I often eat Matjes rolls

For those who want to have the classic North Sea fishing experience, it doesn't get any better than this. The quality of the food is exorbitantly high and the ambience is simply on point. You sit directly in the room where the dishes are prepared. The clothing also takes on the pleasant scent of fried fish specialties, so you can even take it home with you as a souvenir. The prices are great, the staff works like a well-oiled machine. The shop was there when I was a child and it is still exactly the same. When I go on vacation to Cux, I go there first and only then have I arrived.

We were in Cuxhaven for the first time today and wanted to eat fish. I had the fried fish with fried potatoes and my wife had the herring in cream sauce. We go to the coast very often and always eat fish. What we got was pretty much the worst fried fish I've ever eaten. Yes, it was frozen but you can season it too. The fried potatoes didn't deserve the name, pale, wasn't an expression. Fried fish tastes better at every fair. The drinks came very late (we were already eating). Staff was frustrated and annoyed (I cleaned the table myself). Toilet doors couldn't be locked. All in all, I wouldn't recommend the restaurant.

The restaurant is quaint and has Nordic charm, the service is on point and helpful. The food also came very quickly. However, I'm not sure about the taste... The salad/dressing tasted very familiar and the hollandaise sauce was also very reminiscent of the ready-made sauce from the supermarket. Still tasty but questionable for the money...

The food was super delicious! Perfect fish and great selection. :) I'd love to come back.

Highly recommended. All very nice. Portions generous and very good.

Good fish dishes at attractive prices. Good service. Quaint.

Best fish restaurant in Cuxhaven. 🤩 Always very, very tasty.

The visit was a spontaneous stop after briefly skimming through the reviews. The waitress came quite early and brought the menu outside to our table without much enthusiasm. After ordering, we also received our drinks quite quickly. After we took the first sip, however, we noticed that both the glass of the soft drink and the wheat glass were incredibly dirty. We pointed this out to the waitress (another person who spoke very poor German) and asked for new drinks. We got these after about 10 minutes, but the glasses were still not as clean as you would expect. Due to some time pressure, we did not complain again. The food came relatively quickly (plaice and a schnitzel). The plaice and the side dishes were great, the schnitzel looked like frozen pressed cardboard. YES, it is a high quality fish restaurant, but I didn't expect such poor quality with the schnitzel. We also ordered mayo with the fries, which was forgotten at the first attempt and served without emotion. The food arrived at the next table shortly after us and the lady told the waiter that she hadn't ordered béchamel sauce with her fish but rather a mustard sauce. The lady had almost finished her fish when we left the restaurant - we will probably never know whether she still received her mustard sauce with the fish. Based on our experience, I unfortunately cannot understand the really good reviews. Unfortunately, the ambience and cleanliness of the inside cannot be rated as we were only outside.
