"Admittedly, last week, the North Sea island Borkum has not always fully convinced me – despite numerous euphoric recommendations from friends and a lot of anticipation. You must realize that here too (how should it be different? Day tourists, running customers and probably non-recurring spa and rehabilitation guests dominate the events and the gastronomy does not necessarily have to crumb. And many of the holiday hustle and bustles are consuming themselves. After an excellent dinner on the first evening, a good conclusion is to follow. Although the “Knurrhahn” looks from the main shopping mile Franz-Habich-Strasse, first after snoring fish snacks. Dark wooden front, small interior, out a few barrels as standing tables and some bar stools around it. The fact that the location is already closed at 8:00 does not necessarily give you a relaxed evening. But for the last night it fits perfectly, good friends of us who have been travelling on the island for decades have recommended the “Knurrhahn” at the best. In the case of fertile rain, Draussensitz is already excreted. Inside it is narrow, you stand or hockt densely crowded around a few half-height tables, the damp coats and jackets are hanging on hooks on the wall, ordered directly on the counter, behind it is continuously bruised, censored, fried and dressed (Stichwort Show Cooking . Here you can quickly get in touch with other guests: almost all regular guests and connoisseurs, many soloists or small buddies. It seems to me who once was here comes more often or more. The range of fish is great: sea salmon, redfish, cod, pangasius, plaice, robes, salmon, crabs in any form of preparation, size and presentation, from simple fish rolls to generous fish pan in the beautifully cast iron peas. A lot of things can be made up in a modular way, which is very pleasant to me. At the advice of our table neighbour, who has a holiday home here, is on the island several times a year, has just arrived and arrives at the “Knurrhahn”, we choose: Red wine Matjesfilet with onions, roasted potatoes and salad set for 9.50 Euro, as well as Salat Neptun for 11.50 Euro (Salat des Seasons, roasted fish fillet can be used again. The majes is delicate and aromatic, the roast potatoes are crusty, with fat was not exactly saved. Yarned with fresh herbs (dill and slices of slices, sour apple slices and crisp salad. Salad Neptun is a huge portion dressed on a large, deep plate. Several small, sparingly panned fish fillets, spicy smoked salmon and plentiful crabs are on a fresh, tasty salad of leaf salads, tomato, cucumber, carrots, caps. It's hard to handle everything. Sensational and unexpected is the wine card with several high-quality bottle wines, but also many varieties that are presented in glass. Despite a bite character, one does not want to give up well-maintained drinking culture and gives out fine, high wine glasses. Three steps lead to the narrow, tiny toilets (awareness when walking out! . If the place is full (so probably always, you have to slip through. But the narrowness and oversightability of the place probably make up with its charm. The quality and freshness of our dishes is top-class, the prices are very moderate, with the other guests you get in touch very quickly. All in all, a highly sympathetic fish place that I can recommend unavoidably and that I would visit again at any time. It opens at 11 a.m. in the morning. Ideal for a late, hearty, decoy (second breakfast, according to my taste."
