Where the concierge points people first

Balikci Ergun — A Turkish fish restaurant tucked under the S-Bahn arches in Moabit, the walls crammed with oddments. Grilled fish, loud rooms, and a train rumbling overhead every few minutes. (52.5198, 13.3571) · Directions ↗
Hafenräucherei Treptow „Löcknitz“ — A smokehouse on the water at Treptow, selling fish smoked on site. Lunch standing up by the harbor, the closest this city gets to a fishing port. (52.4940, 13.4634) · Directions ↗
Gode Wind - Das Restaurant & Eventschiff — A restaurant on a moored ship. Choose it for the setting and a North German menu rather than for cutting-edge cooking. (52.4920, 13.4855) · Directions ↗
NORDSEE — The German fish chain, founded in Bremen in the 1890s as a deep-sea fishing company. Useful for a quick Fischbrötchen — a fish roll — at a station when you need one. (52.5199, 13.4146) · Directions ↗

The rest of the seafood restaurants in Berlin — every one we hold

Berlin's local fish is freshwater

Berlin sits about two hundred kilometers from the Baltic, so the sea fish here has traveled. What is actually caught locally comes from the Havel, the Spree and Brandenburg's many lakes: Zander (pike-perch), eel, pike, perch and trout. Smoked fish is the regional tradition, and a smokehouse by the water is closer to the real thing than a white-tablecloth dining room. When a menu names a lake or the Müritz, the fish probably came in that morning.
