Restaurant am Seefischmarkt
The Restaurant am Seefischmarkt in Wik ties into the long fishing tradition of Kiel's harbour. Daily-fresh fish straight from the market, classic northern German preparations and a spot overlooking the Tiessenkai and the fjord. Honest fish cuisine in a place steeped in history.
A harbour steeped in history
The Restaurant am Seefischmarkt lies in the Wik district, where Kiel lived off the fish trade for decades. The historic halls of the Seefischmarkt still speak of this tradition today and give the place a special, authentic character. From the restaurant you look out over the Tiessenkai and the fjord, where cutters and ferries pass by. If you are interested in Kiel's maritime past, you will find a spot here with genuine harbour flair, far from touristy polish.
Fish straight from the market
On the plate is daily-fresh fish, prepared in the classic northern German way: plaice, cod or smoked specialities, depending on the catch and season. The proximity to the market shows in the freshness; here they know where the fish comes from. The kitchen relies on honest craft rather than fashionable effects. If you appreciate fish in its unadulterated, down-to-earth form, this is the right place; on market days a visit is especially worthwhile, when the selection is at its largest.
An outing to Wik
Wik lies north of the city centre on the western shore of the fjord and is easy to reach by bus or car, with parking around the harbour. A visit combines well with a walk along the Tiessenkai or a look at the historic naval facilities. If you like, take the fjord ferry and turn the journey into a small maritime experience. For a quiet fish meal away from the central restaurants, the Seefischmarkt is a rewarding address, and a reservation is recommended.
