Fischbäker Fischrestaurant - Minden

Specialises in a variety of fish dishes, freshly cooked and delicious. Very good service with friendly, knowledgeable staff.

We had been there some 10 years ago and remembered the fried fish and home made potato salad as very tasty. This time it was not so good anymore, the potato salad came out to the fridge, which made it taste less flavorful but the fish was freshly cooked and tasted good. Before we started to order, I asked for a glass of tap water, because it was very hot and we had walked quite a bit, I was told I could only have bottled water, which I did not want, because I wanted a beer with my fish, the young waiter could not be bothered with bringing me a glass of tab water. I found that rude.

This is a local fish restaurant and we wanted to try the German version of fish 'n chips. In my case I had the Backfisch made from Goldbarschfilet. Backfisch has a crispy outer coating of batter (it is deep fried) and the fish itself was moist, very enjoyable and tasted like fresh fish should. Two varieties of potato salad were offered as a side. Either made with the traditional oil and vinegar or perpared with mayonaise. I chose the oil and vinegar variety and it was good although I personally prefer it to be a bit more on the acidic side.

My wife and I enjoy the occasional trip to a fish/seafood restaurant and this well established does not disappoint. Friendly service, decent portion and fair priced, what a delight and delicious. Highly recommended!
