Wismar and its fish stands are legendary – primarily because you can still get the fish right where it belongs: by the water. The Old Harbour is the heart of it all if you're looking for an authentic fish roll or freshly caught fish.

The Wismar harbor is famous for its authentic atmosphere, where fishing and enjoyment collide directly. If you are looking for the classic "fish from the boat" experience, you are probably thinking of the cutters at the quay edge of the Old Harbor. Probably the best-known institution in Wismar are the firmly moored cutters in the Old Harbor. Here, fish rolls and smoked fish are sold directly over the railing.
