@@3.k Matjes is fermented, but it's not pugnant like Surströmming. It's just young Herring cured in salt and fish enzymes for a few days with the effect of making it last longer and tenderizing the meat and giving it a more savory flavor.
Total trocken das Ding. Am Hafen bekommst nur n Spritzer Remoulade. Echt lächerlich das als bestes fischbrötchen zu bezeichnen. Da gibt es so viel bessere Läden wo es noch mit liebe gemacht wird und nicht wir am Hafen am Fließband.

Aal - Suppe does not mean "soup made of eel or with eel" but a soup made of all available things Aalsuppe = alles drin ... Plattdeutsch ! In general it is sweet and sour and there should be a lot of dried fruit in it. Basis for this soup is a ham bone.
When someone buys a shrimp roll for 10 € in Hamburg you know that it's a tourist..😂 For really good Hamburg cuisine I recommend the Restaurant "Hobenköök" (harbour kitchen): all local ingredients, great dishes, local craft beers.

The price of Krabbenbrötchen usually depends on the catch. The less shrimps the fishermen catch, the more expensive they are. And they are more expensive in tourist hotspots, of course. They usually cost around 6 Euros in the smaller harbours like Büsum or Husum.

Hamburg is the best city in Germany, I am also studying here and just found out about your channel. I wish I've discovered you guys 5 days before, when you were here hüüü :( I hope you enjoyed the city :)
I am a native Hamburg girl, I loooove Franzbroetchen!! Just because you're close to water, does not mean the fish is local! Krabben are usually flown to North Africa or the Eastern states for "puhlen", de-shelling, treated with sth unhealthy so they stay "fresh" and flown to the distributors. The "fresh" shrimps are finally sold to the end consumer about 4 days after catching. My teacher at catering college described aal suppe like this: Open the fridge, look at the leftovers Dat kommt aal in - platt fuer das kommt alles rein/ all the stuff goes in the soup. My family makes "Grosser Hans" which is a boiled bread pudding, and we eat a hot cherry sauce with it. Mmmmmhhhhh! My grandma used to do a soup with prunes in it, but I do not think it was Aalsuppe, definitely no fish in it, as i did not eat fish as a child.
Hallo Silke, daß hab' ich in meiner Antwort auch gerade erklärt. Und wie die Krabben in dem Brötchen auch schon so aussehen. Ungepulte kaufen und "pulen" lernen. Aber der Unterschied im Geschmack ist riesig!
@@peterdoe2617 Oh God, natuerlich! Wir haben viel Urlaub an der Nordsee gemacht und nur frisch vom Kutter gekauft! Mag selber keine Krabben, aber pulen mag ich und bin sehr geschickt!
What you had is _not_ a (typical) Franzbrötchen. They are round like a snail. Akin to a cinnamon roll but flat. Go to the Hauptbahnhof and get it there on the Südsteg. Also try the ones with apple.
erinnert mich an den Kerl den ich im Internet kennen gelernt hat, der mich fragte "Wo ist Düsseldorf?" ich: "Wieso fragst du mich das?" er: "Ich weiß es halt nicht!" ich: "Das weiß aber eigentlich jeder... rat mal, dann kommste drauf... " er: "Leck mich doch, ich muss doch nicht alles wissen, nur weil ich in Deutschland wohne!"
I was just in Hamburg, and wish I would have tried the Fischbrotchen while I was there! I did however become a big fan of Franzbroetchen! Have you gone to Bremen yet? Might be a good trip, and nearby Bremerhaven was also interesting (museums, food, etc). Thanks for sharing, as always.
Rolmops is a bit pickled herring. Maatjes (Germans call it matjes.. but nahhh nicht richtig :-p ) A "maatje" is the bucket the herring is cured in. So it is herring from the bucket :-)
The northsea shrimps are peeled by hand. They got driven per cooling truck to morocco, got peeled and then back to Germany, that's why they are so expensive. Helgoland is the only offshore island of Germany.
You can buy unpeeled shrimp in some harbor areas along the coasts, usually much cheaper than the peeled ones. Peeling them, however, takes some practice ;-)
Please keep adding German phrases in with your videos. As someone learning German I love to hear just a couple words more than just the German item you’re speaking about.
The fish market on Sunday is a great time. Hamburg is the only place where we found Raw beef and onion at the market. It's a big thing here in Wisconsin. Sometimes called Hecke Peter. We loved Hamburg.
next time you're in Hamburg try the Fischbrotchen at the Firschmarkt, either Fischbeisl or Fabios Fisch. Less expensive and not a tourist trap ;) And if you wanna check out "urige" restaurants/diners definitely go Veddeler Fischgaststätte (closed atm, unfortunately) or Erikas Eck, it won't get any more Hamburg than that. Generally the whole city is plastered with good restaurants at decent prices, if you're not necessarily looking into traditional German food.
Yeah, in the Haiopei cartoons they did this nasty joke: "Heute gibt's Labskaus in der Kantine" Hai 1 "Hat von Euch das schon einer mal gegessen?" Haikoch hinter der Theke: "Nein, nein, das sieht nur so aus." "Today in the cantina: Labskaus" Shark 1 "Hey, did anyone of you eat this before?" Cook behind the counter: "No, no, it just looks that way."
Matjes are cured raw herring. The best way to eat herring in the world. And certainly not brought into Hamburg fresh every day. But Hamburg has a good fish market and they also have the Sunday Fischmarkt, which is not running due to Covid, but offers everything from fisch to clothes Sunday from 5:00 am onwards
I'm actually learning how to pronounce German words just by watching your videos! Love your food tours. The Matjesbrotchen looked good because I love a fresh fish sandwich but I also love shrimp so the Nordseekrabbenbrotchen looked delicious as well. The Labskaus reminded me a little of corned beef hash which traditionally ,here in the States, is also served with a fried egg on top but the Labskaus looked much tastier.
North Sea Shrimp are really nice. They have a far meatier and nuttier flavor than the shrimp you might be used to. Unfortunately, the amount that can be fished is quite limited and demand keeps growing, so they get more expensive every year.
The lobscouse is a kind of corned beef hash with egg the fish on the side is a European variety it's also made in New England , it's usually got a pickle or a relish / chutney as a side different versions are made all over the world with different sides .
If you ever come back, try the Franzbrötchen from Franz & Friends (they have a branch at the Hbf). They have different flavors/variants, like a toffee/caramel one, chocolate chip, banana, nuts, and even a milchreis one.
If you currently want to buy Büsumer Krabben in the Supermarket, they cost more than 4 Euro for only 100 gramm. And this looks like more then only 100 gramm and is fresh...add that you are in a touristy area, and the price is no surprise.
labskaus has got to be the most underrated foods in hamburg,nowadays , alongside grünkohl...both are not the most pleasing dishes to the eye but once it makes contact with your taste senses..things make sense. a flavour bouquet to please your taste buds..and especially wholesome when its cold out side.
Good idea to do a vid in northern Germany,that way people can see that Germany is not made of Bavaria only ;) Have a look at the smaller Cities ,too ! Visit Flensburg, Büsum, and the whole west-coast ;)
thanks , my Oma and Opa came to America in 1925, the food my Oma cooked was always amazing to me. thank you for rekindling them and the great memoires.......God Bless
I started to improove my english again, some 15 years ago. Trying for a "somewhat british" pronounciation. Then married a woman from OK ;-) What I'm proud of: no english-spoken person ever asked back, what I just wanted to say! A joung guy in OK once asked me about my accent. "Hamburg, Germany." "I thought you where either english or scottish." So I've come a long way. And still will have a accent. My wife has passed away, some years ago. Found a new love. And she's australian. Guess, how many times I have to ask her back about what she just said? But I'm trying to learn. ("Life is a never-ending journey. Love is a never-ending smile." Black Sabbath: "Wishing well". Ronnie James Dio the singer.) This goes out to you, Deana, as well.
A plum is a fresh plum. A prune is a dried or preserved (canned) plum. The word prune was also used for fresh plums a long time ago, but that usage is archaic now.
In der Aalsupoe sind Backpflaumen (Trockenpflaumen)= prunes. Die original Aalsuppe musste keinen Aal enthalten. Es bedeutet aalns in (Schreibweise kenne ich leider nicht), alles drin. Es war eine Restesuppe. Ich liebe auch Franzbrötchen (ohne Gedöns) und Matjesbrötchen. Der Fisch ist meistens sehr gut. Leider lassen manchmal die Brötchen zu wünschen übrig. Scholle Finkenwerder Art kann ich auch empfehlen. Ich liebe auch euer Christmas Market Video.
Best Fischbrötchen you can get is on the Fischmarkt on Sundays from between 4.00 A.M. and 7 A.M. Yeah, that early. By 7 A.M. the fresh food is almost out of stock. For more sit-down restaurants and fish, go to the Portugiesenviertel, the Portugese Quarter. You will find a lot of Portugese / hispanic based restaurants there offering the freshest fish in Hamburg. But not only fish, but meat as well, for those no-fish-please-people.
The Franzbrötchen looks like a cinnamon roll and a croissant got together and made a huge baby...I really want one! And yeah cinnamon = Christmas to me too, Phil!
Moin euch beiden. Es ist immer ein Genuß, euch zuzusehen. Da ihr gerade im Norden seid, probiert doch mal "Braunkohl mit Bregenwurst", die Saison dafür beginnt ja mit dem ersten Frost. Das ist im Norden ein Klassiker: müffelt zwar ziemlich streng, schmeckt aber hervorragend und ist sehr zu empfehlen, so richtig "zum reinhauen". Es sollte aber auch tatsächlich Bregenwurst sein, nicht nur Mettenden oder Kasseler... Gruß aus der Südheide und: "munterbleiben" :-)
4:33 You know that Matjes is a young and not adult herring that has to be brined some time? So it's not fresh from the boat. Anyway, the Matjes in Germany is heavy on sugar side and not even close to being comparable to the Dutch Matjes (Hollandse Nieuwe). Anyway, if you ask me, Bismarck herring is the better choice for Fischbrötchen. Real matjes should be enjoyed on its own. Helgoland is a penisnsula? Come on, dude. It's 40 miles/60km off the German coast, our only deep sea island. Aalsuppe (eel soup) actually didn't contain Aal in the beginning. It was just a soup made from leftovers where "alles" (everything) went in. "Alles Suppe" somehow turned into "Aalsuppe" so people, thought "What the heck, so might put eel in as well". 12:15 - the same fish as the Matjes: herring. Just a different preperation. For Labskaus you use this horrible canned stuff that smells like dog food, nothing like real corned beef made from a brisket, brined and smoked. Btw, bro - what is a nice red flavor? If I was to recommend true Hamburg classics, try "Rundstück warm", Ochsenstert in Madeira oder Pannfisch.
When around Bremen, order Knipp (with fried potatos and pickles). But only if it is cold outside, this is not necessarily the best dish during hot summer days...
After explaining the Labskaus, it sounds pretty tasty. Didn't look appetizing at first. But if it's mixed with potatoes and onions, I might try it one day. Never had beet root juice before. I've tried beets and I find them to have a very earthy taste. I don't like it, but I don't hate it either. My favorite thing you guys ordered was the shrimp brötchen. That looked very tasty.
Two interesting semi-seasonal dishes are: German Gruenkohl (usually Fall/Winter); and pfifferlinge (a small oragneish mushroom) earlier in the year (late summer). The latter have been somewhat restricted because of the Chernobyl fallout; but last time I was living there you could still get them. Very tasty little fungi! Gruenkohl done right is amazing, but a little work-intensive.
And I have just these days heard on the radio news, that - due to the corona virus northsea shrimps are no longer sent to Northern Africa to get peeled, and having them peeled here (probably to minimum wage condktions) makes them more expensive. But then, this makes me really wonder...
Nordseekrabben are excellent but a pita to peel. My cousin from NIebüll brought us (we lived in France) 10l buckets of them when he went for visit; We the children had to peel them for hours (or so it felt), but man, what a reward after that to eat them.
It used to be a poor mans food, but has become increasingly expensive over the last years, as they are a limited ressource that has become quite fancy.
I think with Fischbroetchen it's an aquired taste and you have to eat it more often to start to appreciate it and start noticing the awesomeness of it. Same as with things like sushi or peanut butter. Eat it more often :-)
Swedish and Danish influences here The tiny shrimps sandwich is very Danish. The minced beef patty with the egg is a take on the Swedish dish Beef Lindstrom.
So nice to see your food experiences in Hamburg. We went to a fish restaurant that was just off the Elbe River. I really like Scholle (not sure if that is spelled right). I believe it may be called European plaice in English. Very nice not fishy tasting. When we had Labskau at home growing up here in Canada, we made mashed potatoes and then mashed in Corned Beef and finely diced pickles. Our version was more potato with some Corned Beef rather than a lot of beef like was shown in your video. It is a very hearty meal.
Corned beef hash with a sunny side up egg is very popular in America. I never thought to serve it with fish, though. The fish in Hamburg looks amazing!
Ich würde mich sehr über ein Video freuen wo Deana den ganzen Tag Deutsch sprechen muss und du Phil darfst ihr nicht helfen oder Deana darf dich auch mal rumkommandieren aber nur auf Deutsch 😂
Prune (Zwetschge): blue violet thicker skin, yellow yellow-green pulp, oval form Plum (Plaume): scarlet softer skin, yellow-orange to red pulp, round form
The "Nordseekrabben" are so expensive because they are so small and can only be pulled by hand. even if u buy "Nordseekrabben-Salat" at the supermarket u have to pay nearly 6€ for 100g. Even me as a fish-hater, love "Nordseekrabben". In Hamburch sagt man Tschüß ;)
I think I know what the Labskaus reminds you off. Corned beef hash. Every time I eat it it's reminiscent of that, which makes sense given its ingredients. But especially with the fried egg, you get that corned beef hash breakfast feel. 😊
Ironically it's cheaper to fly them to Morocca and back than have them peeled in Germany by a machine. The freshest and cheapest option is to buy unpeeled shrimps and peel them yourself.
Corned Beef Hash? My great grandfather said sailors ate this often because the corned beef is what lasted onboard long trips at sea. Plus they would use any meat leftovers ground into the hash so they did not waste anything.
Croissants is not french from beginning. It is actually Marie-Antoinette that brought it with her from Austria. When she married Louis XVI she had her bakers with her because she always wanted that bread.
Hello Deana and Phil! Greeting from the land of five rivers, the Indian State of Punjab! Grüß Gott! Hola! Sat Sri Akal! Namaste! Salam Walekam! Your coverage of German food in Hamburg is enjoyable and entertaining. We know that the ingredients that go into these dishes are generally produced by farmers. Unfortunately today, farmers in India, and particularly those from the States of Punjab and Haryana who are predominantly Sikhs and Punjabis, need your kind attention and support.Their self-esteem, pride and existence is at stake. Sikhs are generous, helpful, openhearted and very friendly. They do not discriminate on the basis of religion, culture, caste, colour and gender. Unfortunately, the Government of India is imposing laws which can take away bread from the mouths of these poor farmers. Not only these farmers, but also daily wagers, unskilled and skilled labourers, shopkeepers, small traders and many other professions associated with agriculture, have outright rejected this black law and are protesting on the streets of Punjab for their rights. They are making a strenuous effort, using all their resources, to repeal these regressive laws passed in the Indian Parliament. If our farmers remain unhappy and discontented, how can we feel satiated with these palatable street food? I thank you for allowing me to convey and relay the genuine cause of farmers in India from this platform.
Dorum-Neufeld. Beste Fischbrötchen. Inklusive des Krabbenbrötchen. Überhaupt ..sehr leckeres , norddeutsches Essen da. Solltet ihr mal hin fahren ;) Besonders, wenn mal Nachwuchs da ist ;) Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, ist Labskaus mit Roter.Beete

7:45 Helgoland (called Heligoland in English) was actually a British crown colony from 1807 to 1890. Prussia acquired the island from the UK in 1890 in exchange for some concessions concerning colonies in Africa.
Ich liebe Franzbrötchen und Nordseekrabben😁 Two of my favourites! Deana schönes Täschchen in der Fischerstube😁 I got one like that too😁 Glad you liked Hamburg and the food!🎉
I would try the Labskaus, seems like some kind of hash made from brisket instead of round or rump. with the side of herring and salad would make a very interesting meal!
I actually think the Shrimp bun was rather cheap, if i recreated this with stuff from the supermarket, it´d be half as good and cost way more. The amount of shrimp alone is probably worth the price. But i live in Rhineland Palatinate, so it´s probably the transport that makes it more expensive, still Would instantly buy one if i could :P

German unique food? YES!!! The more regional and unique the better!
Heligoland (Helgoland in German) is Germany's sole high-seas island(s) (it's actually an archipelago) in the German Bight of the North Sea.
next time you're in Hamburg try the Fischbrotchen at the Firschmarkt, either Fischbeisl or Fabios Fisch. Less expensive and not a tourist trap ;) And if you wanna check out "urige" restaurants/diners definitely go Veddeler Fischgaststätte (closed atm, unfortunately) or Erikas Eck, it won't get any more Hamburg than that. Generally the whole city is plastered with good restaurants at decent prices, if you're not necessarily looking into traditional German food.
Labskaus look like an accident on the highway, but its sooooooo good. the most favourit north german food. XD
Yeah, in the Haiopei cartoons they did this nasty joke:
"Heute gibt's Labskaus in der Kantine"
Hai 1 "Hat von Euch das schon einer mal gegessen?"
Haikoch hinter der Theke: "Nein, nein, das sieht nur so aus."
"Today in the cantina: Labskaus"
Shark 1 "Hey, did anyone of you eat this before?"
Cook behind the counter: "No, no, it just looks that way."
Matjes are cured raw herring. The best way to eat herring in the world. And certainly not brought into Hamburg fresh every day. But Hamburg has a good fish market and they also have the Sunday Fischmarkt, which is not running due to Covid, but offers everything from fisch to clothes Sunday from 5:00 am onwards
My favorite Franzbrötchen is the classic just with cinnamon. The other classic would be with cinnamon and raisins, but I am not a raisin fan
I'm actually learning how to pronounce German words just by watching your videos! Love your food tours. The Matjesbrotchen looked good because I love a fresh fish sandwich but I also love shrimp so the Nordseekrabbenbrotchen looked delicious as well. The Labskaus reminded me a little of corned beef hash which traditionally ,here in the States, is also served with a fried egg on top but the Labskaus looked much tastier.
North Sea Shrimp are really nice. They have a far meatier and nuttier flavor than the shrimp you might be used to. Unfortunately, the amount that can be fished is quite limited and demand keeps growing, so they get more expensive every year.
The lobscouse is a kind of corned beef hash with egg the fish on the side is a European variety it's also made in New England , it's usually got a pickle or a relish / chutney as a side different versions are made all over the world with different sides .
This makes my heart so happy to see the Northern food! The eel soup was a favorite!
If you ever come back, try the Franzbrötchen from Franz & Friends (they have a branch at the Hbf). They have different flavors/variants, like a toffee/caramel one, chocolate chip, banana, nuts, and even a milchreis one.
If you currently want to buy Büsumer Krabben in the Supermarket, they cost more than 4 Euro for only 100 gramm. And this looks like more then only 100 gramm and is fresh...add that you are in a touristy area, and the price is no surprise.
Yup.
"Fish sandwich and a beer, please". that is the only phrase I learnt fluently and used on a daily basis while stationed in Northern Germany.
Not a fan of Aalsuppe, but Labskaus is one of my comfort foods!
labskaus has got to be the most underrated foods in hamburg,nowadays , alongside grünkohl...both are not the most pleasing dishes to the eye but once it makes contact with your taste senses..things make sense. a flavour bouquet to please your taste buds..and especially wholesome when its cold out side.
I miss Bäckerei Junge and their Franzbrötchen in the Bahrenfelder Str. I really really miss them.
the euro graphics when the shrimp was falling out of the sandwich was so funny
€€€€€😂😂😂
True! 😄
Good idea to do a vid in northern Germany,that way people can see that Germany is not made of Bavaria only ;) Have a look at the smaller Cities ,too ! Visit Flensburg, Büsum, and the whole west-coast ;)
thanks , my Oma and Opa came to America in 1925, the food my Oma cooked was always amazing to me. thank you for rekindling them and the great memoires.......God Bless
Deana, your German sounds so good.
Thanks! Although, I cringed at some of my pronunciation while editing this video. 😅😭
@@DeanaandPhil I’m trying to learn and I still sound very American. You sound so much better.
Don't compare yourself to others! As long as you're trying that's all that matters! You can do it!!
I started to improove my english again, some 15 years ago. Trying for a "somewhat british" pronounciation. Then married a woman from OK ;-)
What I'm proud of: no english-spoken person ever asked back, what I just wanted to say! A joung guy in OK once asked me about my accent. "Hamburg, Germany." "I thought you where either english or scottish."
So I've come a long way. And still will have a accent. My wife has passed away, some years ago. Found a new love.
And she's australian. Guess, how many times I have to ask her back about what she just said?
But I'm trying to learn. ("Life is a never-ending journey. Love is a never-ending smile." Black Sabbath: "Wishing well". Ronnie James Dio the singer.)
This goes out to you, Deana, as well.
@@DeanaandPhil Me too.
A plum is a fresh plum. A prune is a dried or preserved (canned) plum. The word prune was also used for fresh plums a long time ago, but that usage is archaic now.
Like grapes and raisins.
In der Aalsupoe sind Backpflaumen (Trockenpflaumen)= prunes. Die original Aalsuppe musste keinen Aal enthalten. Es bedeutet aalns in (Schreibweise kenne ich leider nicht), alles drin. Es war eine Restesuppe.
Ich liebe auch Franzbrötchen (ohne Gedöns) und Matjesbrötchen. Der Fisch ist meistens sehr gut. Leider lassen manchmal die Brötchen zu wünschen übrig. Scholle Finkenwerder Art kann ich auch empfehlen. Ich liebe auch euer Christmas Market Video.
Best Fischbrötchen you can get is on the Fischmarkt on Sundays from between 4.00 A.M. and 7 A.M.
Yeah, that early.
By 7 A.M. the fresh food is almost out of stock.
For more sit-down restaurants and fish, go to the Portugiesenviertel, the Portugese Quarter. You will find a lot of Portugese / hispanic based restaurants there offering the freshest fish in Hamburg. But not only fish, but meat as well, for those no-fish-please-people.
The Franzbrötchen looks like a cinnamon roll and a croissant got together and made a huge baby...I really want one! And yeah cinnamon = Christmas to me too, Phil!
Moin euch beiden. Es ist immer ein Genuß, euch zuzusehen.
Da ihr gerade im Norden seid, probiert doch mal "Braunkohl mit Bregenwurst", die Saison dafür beginnt ja mit dem ersten Frost. Das ist im Norden ein Klassiker: müffelt zwar ziemlich streng, schmeckt aber hervorragend und ist sehr zu empfehlen, so richtig "zum reinhauen". Es sollte aber auch tatsächlich Bregenwurst sein, nicht nur Mettenden oder Kasseler...
Gruß aus der Südheide und: "munterbleiben" :-)
4:33 You know that Matjes is a young and not adult herring that has to be brined some time? So it's not fresh from the boat. Anyway, the Matjes in Germany is heavy on sugar side and not even close to being comparable to the Dutch Matjes (Hollandse Nieuwe). Anyway, if you ask me, Bismarck herring is the better choice for Fischbrötchen. Real matjes should be enjoyed on its own.
Helgoland is a penisnsula? Come on, dude. It's 40 miles/60km off the German coast, our only deep sea island. Aalsuppe (eel soup) actually didn't contain Aal in the beginning. It was just a soup made from leftovers where "alles" (everything) went in. "Alles Suppe" somehow turned into "Aalsuppe" so people, thought "What the heck, so might put eel in as well".
12:15 - the same fish as the Matjes: herring. Just a different preperation. For Labskaus you use this horrible canned stuff that smells like dog food, nothing like real corned beef made from a brisket, brined and smoked. Btw, bro - what is a nice red flavor?
If I was to recommend true Hamburg classics, try "Rundstück warm", Ochsenstert in Madeira oder Pannfisch.
When around Bremen, order Knipp (with fried potatos and pickles). But only if it is cold outside, this is not necessarily the best dish during hot summer days...
And when coming here in the cold time... go also for "Kohl und Pinkel"
After explaining the Labskaus, it sounds pretty tasty. Didn't look appetizing at first. But if it's mixed with potatoes and onions, I might try it one day. Never had beet root juice before. I've tried beets and I find them to have a very earthy taste. I don't like it, but I don't hate it either.
My favorite thing you guys ordered was the shrimp brötchen. That looked very tasty.
Two interesting semi-seasonal dishes are: German Gruenkohl (usually Fall/Winter); and pfifferlinge (a small oragneish mushroom) earlier in the year (late summer). The latter have been somewhat restricted because of the Chernobyl fallout; but last time I was living there you could still get them. Very tasty little fungi! Gruenkohl done right is amazing, but a little work-intensive.
I think the shrimpbun is so expensive because of the „Nordseekrabben“ even at Edeka or Aldi 100 grams of them cost around 5€
And I have just these days heard on the radio news, that - due to the corona virus northsea shrimps are no longer sent to Northern Africa to get peeled, and having them peeled here (probably to minimum wage condktions) makes them more expensive. But then, this makes me really wonder...
Nordseekrabben are excellent but a pita to peel. My cousin from NIebüll brought us (we lived in France) 10l buckets of them when he went for visit; We the children had to peel them for hours (or so it felt), but man, what a reward after that to eat them.
Mit Krabben hat man unglaublich viel Arbeit!! Ich will sie nicht säubern müssen! Ausserdem gibt es nicht mehr viele!
It used to be a poor mans food, but has become increasingly expensive over the last years, as they are a limited ressource that has become quite fancy.
I really enjoy your videos, especially if they include food!! Deana, your German is getting better and better.
Born and raised in Hamburg. Now residing in US. I love Franzbrotchen!!!!! The best
I think with Fischbroetchen it's an aquired taste and you have to eat it more often to start to appreciate it and start noticing the awesomeness of it. Same as with things like sushi or peanut butter. Eat it more often :-)
Swedish and Danish influences here
The tiny shrimps sandwich is very Danish.
The minced beef patty with the egg is a take on the Swedish dish Beef Lindstrom.
It did look like corn-beef hash which goes great with a fried egg. Phil's facial expressions when tasting the food were priceless !
So nice to see your food experiences in Hamburg. We went to a fish restaurant that was just off the Elbe River. I really like Scholle (not sure if that is spelled right). I believe it may be called European plaice in English. Very nice not fishy tasting. When we had Labskau at home growing up here in Canada, we made mashed potatoes and then mashed in Corned Beef and finely diced pickles. Our version was more potato with some Corned Beef rather than a lot of beef like was shown in your video. It is a very hearty meal.
Hamburg really represents the way Northern Germany eats, at least with some things
Corned beef hash with a sunny side up egg is very popular in America. I never thought to serve it with fish, though. The fish in Hamburg looks amazing!
one of the best things about Germany are all the bakerys with fresh pastries everywhere.
Oh I have been waiting for this for a week!
Ich würde mich sehr über ein Video freuen wo Deana den ganzen Tag Deutsch sprechen muss und du Phil darfst ihr nicht helfen oder Deana darf dich auch mal rumkommandieren aber nur auf Deutsch 😂
Great video guys! Just keep having fun! Take care!
Prune (Zwetschge): blue violet thicker skin, yellow yellow-green pulp, oval form
Plum (Plaume): scarlet softer skin, yellow-orange to red pulp, round form
I lived in Hamburg!!! for me It’s the best city from Germany ✌🏻🥰
The "Nordseekrabben" are so expensive because they are so small and can only be pulled by hand. even if u buy "Nordseekrabben-Salat" at the supermarket u have to pay nearly 6€ for 100g.
Even me as a fish-hater, love "Nordseekrabben". In Hamburch sagt man Tschüß ;)
That is why it is called Franzbrötchen. Short for französisches Brötchen. The local version of the croissant.
actually it comes from the ottoman Empire the Croissant 🥐 because the halfmoon
I think I know what the Labskaus reminds you off. Corned beef hash. Every time I eat it it's reminiscent of that, which makes sense given its ingredients. But especially with the fried egg, you get that corned beef hash breakfast feel. 😊
Those shrimps are pealed with hand, that's why it's expensive and I think they do it in Morocco.
Ironically it's cheaper to fly them to Morocca and back than have them peeled in Germany by a machine. The freshest and cheapest option is to buy unpeeled shrimps and peel them yourself.
The shrimps are very hard to catch and to edit. Very small shrimps. Thats why the price is so high. But these are the most tasty shrimps in the world.
Corned Beef Hash? My great grandfather said sailors ate this often because the corned beef is what lasted onboard long trips at sea. Plus they would use any meat leftovers ground into the hash so they did not waste anything.
I love that both of you are so surprised by those dishes. Fun to watch and a bit jealous because Im hungry! :D
Croissants is not french from beginning. It is actually Marie-Antoinette that brought it with her from Austria. When she married Louis XVI she had her bakers with her because she always wanted that bread.
Perhaps Franzbrötchen is what croissant was named in Austria in Marie Antoinette time . That crisps bread baking method is old
Hello guy’s I’m from Denmark and we also have labskovs it’s just called skipperlabskovs and we eat beetroot on the side it’s awesome! 😁
Hello Deana and Phil! Greeting from the land of five rivers, the Indian State of Punjab! Grüß Gott! Hola! Sat Sri Akal! Namaste! Salam Walekam! Your coverage of German food in Hamburg is enjoyable and entertaining. We know that the ingredients that go into these dishes are generally produced by farmers. Unfortunately today, farmers in India, and particularly those from the States of Punjab and Haryana who are predominantly Sikhs and Punjabis, need your kind attention and support.Their self-esteem, pride and existence is at stake. Sikhs are generous, helpful, openhearted and very friendly. They do not discriminate on the basis of religion, culture, caste, colour and gender. Unfortunately, the Government of India is imposing laws which can take away bread from the mouths of these poor farmers. Not only these farmers, but also daily wagers, unskilled and skilled labourers, shopkeepers, small traders and many other professions associated with agriculture, have outright rejected this black law and are protesting on the streets of Punjab for their rights. They are making a strenuous effort, using all their resources, to repeal these regressive laws passed in the Indian Parliament. If our farmers remain unhappy and discontented, how can we feel satiated with these palatable street food?
I thank you for allowing me to convey and relay the genuine cause of farmers in India from this platform.
Dorum-Neufeld. Beste Fischbrötchen. Inklusive des Krabbenbrötchen. Überhaupt ..sehr leckeres , norddeutsches Essen da. Solltet ihr mal hin fahren ;) Besonders, wenn mal Nachwuchs da ist ;) Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, ist Labskaus mit Roter.Beete
Phil, your facial expression after tasting the eal soup haha so cute!
I like your yummy videos (they always make me hungry). The "familiar" taste in Labskaus was probably created by mashed potatoes or beets.
Thank you D&P for these fun videos! They are always so positive and help distract me from everything that's going on the in the world right now. Love ya guys! 💕😊 Edit: How is the world is someone supposed to eat that shrimp bread without making a huge mess? 😂 The animation was so funny when the shrimps fell to the ground lol
"We're going to have food babies today." Lol. 😁
Ja ja ja - Fischbrötchen "dat Beste, wat wo gibt" 👌
Einen lieben Gruß aus dem Ruhrpott 😘
Currywurst ist aber auch geil. :D
7:45 Helgoland (called Heligoland in English) was actually a British crown colony from 1807 to 1890. Prussia acquired the island from the UK in 1890 in exchange for some concessions concerning colonies in Africa.
Moin!
Next time you either come to Bremen and try Knipp, or go to Oldenburg and have a propper Grünkohl feast. ;)
I had a Grünkohlfest in Flensburg. Lecker.
But only with Pinkelwurst.
Franzbrötchen are addictive, unfortunately you can't really get good ones in the Munich area though...
They're quite common north of Hamburg.
@@jensgoerke3819 Darum habe ich in der Vergangenheit auch bei fast jedem Besuch der Hansestadt, eine "Franzbrötchen Session" eingelegt 😉
I always ask myself why? Maybe the name is not "popular" enough?
Memories from Living in Hamburg and Germany in the 70's
Re Schwartenwurst: If I am making Labskaus at home I am making it with mashed potatoes, pickled beet root and "Jola-Rindfleisch" from the can!
I googled it and a bunch of recipes popped up. Omg people make that at home! I was wondering if it was strictly tourist food but I guess it's not.
@@LythaWausW It's incredibly easy. Especially if you leave out the fish at the side.
Ich liebe Franzbrötchen und Nordseekrabben😁 Two of my favourites!
Deana schönes Täschchen in der Fischerstube😁 I got one like that too😁
Glad you liked Hamburg and the food!🎉
I would try the Labskaus, seems like some kind of hash made from brisket instead of round or rump. with the side of herring and salad would make a very interesting meal!
When you already is up north go to Kiel and take the ferry to my hometown Göteborg. I think you would like this city!
Nearly any fresh Fischbrötchen is a heaven in a bite 🤤🤤
I actually think the Shrimp bun was rather cheap, if i recreated this with stuff from the supermarket, it´d be half as good and cost way more.
The amount of shrimp alone is probably worth the price. But i live in Rhineland Palatinate, so it´s probably the transport that makes it more expensive, still
Would instantly buy one if i could :P
That last dish is like a minced corned beef and hash dish. Sounds good.
I love your videos! I've learned a lot of German from them!
🤗💜 Thank you!
Thank you for this entertaining look around really local food!
Franzbrötchen have a sister here, in Nuremberg: Zimtzicke - cinnamon priss.
