Fischerhuette Friedrichsort

Fresh fish by the water

The Fischerhuette in Friedrichsort serves what suits the coast best: fresh fish, crisp fried fish and North German classics, in a cosy maritime atmosphere. Wood, nets and nautical details shape the interior, entirely without kitsch, simply fitting the waterside setting. From the outdoor seats you look out over the inner fjord and the passing ships, from small boats to large ferries. It is the kind of place where a day by the sea finds its natural close: a portion of fish, a cold drink and the wide view across the water.

By the historic fortress

Friedrichsort lies at the entrance to the inner fjord, where the water narrows to a slim passage, a place with history. The nearby Friedrichsort fortress recalls its former importance as a defensive point, and the lighthouse is among the maritime landmarks of northern Kiel. The Fischerhuette fits into this setting as a relaxed day-trip destination. Anyone exploring the area, perhaps on a waterside walk or a beach visit, easily combines it with a stop. So the meal becomes a small excursion into the northern, history-rich part of the city.

An outing to the north

Open Tuesday to Sunday from late morning into the evening, the Fischerhuette suits a day trip to Friedrichsort well. There are no reservations, but on sunny summer days the outdoor seats with a fjord view are in demand, so arriving earlier pays off. The location a little outside the centre makes the journey part of the experience, whether by bus, bike or ferry. Tip: combine your visit with a walk to the fortress or the beach and then stop in for a portion of fried fish. That makes northern Kiel a rewarding day's destination.
