Fischbrötchen-place to be

Soling 50, Kiel, 24159

“Goldfisch Schilkseer Fischbrötchen” – what a name! Once you have that memorized (and you should), you will never forget it again. All the better for it. It is the best, the ultimate fish stall and you need to try it. Right there at the harbor, the legendary fish stall is easily found. If we told you it even had its own media coverage, you would call us out, but we would be right … truly.
