The best seafood in Germany, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Jellyfish comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Hamburg.

Rank 1. Jellyfish
Modern Seafood
A charcoal-grilled trout glazed with BBQ sauce, pickled plum, and marigold gel tells you everything about where Jellyfish is headed. This Michelin-starred seafood tasting menu restaurant in the Schanzenviertel runs through five to seven courses of modern, quietly surprising cooking built around premium fish and seafood. The minimalist room has soft lighting and a team that genuinely knows its German Rieslings. Weekends bring a bistro lunch menu that moves at a different pace entirely.

Rank 3. am kai | restaurant. seafood. drinks. elbblick
Modern Seafood
A seafood restaurant right on the Elbe where the terrace faces the container port, so you spend half the meal watching massive ships slide past at improbably close range. The menu leans modern and international, moving through fish and shellfish with Asian and grilled notes alongside meat dishes and vegan options. The vibe is casual and waterfront-breezy, the crowd dressed for neither occasion nor sloppiness.

Rank 3. Anglerstuben
Seafood
The terrace hangs right over the Rhine, and the angling club below it is not a metaphor. This is a proper sit-down seafood restaurant tucked behind an unremarkable facade on the riverbank, where the kitchen runs fish through its paces with quiet, careful cooking. Evenings bring two set menus alongside à la carte; weekday lunches are notably easy on the wallet. The wine list is all German, and the selection runs deeper than you'd expect.

Rank 3. Atlantik
Seafood
The building used to be a fish market beside an abattoir, which explains both the old brick bones and why seafood still runs the show. A mid-range restaurant in Dreimühlenviertel, Atlantik keeps the menu honest: whole turbot or char for the table, beef if someone insists, and a chocolate cake that earns the standing it has. The wine list is long enough to take seriously.

Rank 3. Salt & Silver am Meer
Seafood
A fish grill and beach bar on stilts eight metres above the sand, close enough to the North Sea that you'll want to shake the salt air out of your jacket. The menu runs to grilled turbot and inventive takes on fish fingers, which is exactly the register you want when you've just walked fifteen minutes through the dunes to get here. Lively inside, better on the terrace. Book ahead in summer, or accept the consequences.

Rank 3. XO Seafoodbar
Modern Seafood
The "Pasta Krabbe" has its own reputation in St. Pauli, which tells you something about a seafood restaurant that could easily coast on oysters and grilled prawns alone. This is a two-floor spot with an open kitchen counter upstairs and a terrace that fills up fast in summer. The menu runs modern and seasonal, and if decision fatigue hits, the kitchen will just pick for you. The small bar does cocktails, the room stays lively, and the whole thing feels like a neighborhood place that forgot to be quiet about it.
