Fresh Fish

The best way to enjoy plaice, matjes herring, and other seafood is in Tönning, with a view of the small, idyllic harbor, or at one of the stilt house restaurants in St. Peter-Ording.

Pharisees

At first glance, it looks like coffee with cream—but beneath its sweet topping, the Pharisäer delights with a good splash of rum.

Futjes

Fried in a deep-fryer until golden brown—served with sugar, vanilla sauce, or jam—Futjes are little sweet treats.

Labskaus

A hearty, traditional North German dish, Labskaus consists of pureed beef, beets, pickled cucumbers, onions, and matjes herring, and is garnished with Bismarck herring, a fried egg, and pickled gherkins.

Kale

Served with smoked pork loin, Mettenden, and sweet or fried potatoes: a hearty classic for the cooler months and a must-have at the traditional Biikebrennen (fire to say goodbye to winter) on February 21!
