We made a trip to the rhine today (basically a walk over the street lol) and had some plaice in one of the few restaurants that still serve traditional german foods.

This is how the surroundings look:












The menu is seasonal, this time of the year it is dominated by local white asparagus and the "Maischolle" (May plaice), a very tender fish. The classic serving is panfried with a slight flour coating or breading, we had ours with hard boiled eggs, a sauce hollandaise and parsley potatoes. A side dish that cannot be missed in German cuisine restaurants is the so-called "Beilagensalat" (translates into side-dish-salad), usually consisting of lettuce, cucumbers, coleslaw, grated carrots, pickled beans and a slice of tomato:


And now for ze fish:




(excuse the strange colouring, we had a table outside, under blue sunscreens)

Here's another "fish" that passed by at the restaurant, the famous Moby Dick:


On our way home, we snatched some ice cream for dessert (coppa amarena on the left, Spaghetti ice on the right):




Enjoy!

Thanks for the beautiful pictures, Chris. It appears that you and your wife had a great day. We don't see eggs on fish much here in the States.

I love asparagus when it is cooked right but I have never had white asparagus, I don't think I have ever seen it.

I grew up on German food, my grandmother was from Germany, lots of different wursts, (love bockwurst and liver sausage....mmmm) schnitzel, sauerkraut, spatzle, lebkuchen, stollen, I miss all that since she has passed on.

Now I get lots of Polish food, my in-laws emigrated after WWII.  We have a little corner market down the street that makes all kinds of sausages, their kielbasa is awesome.

You got me hungry Christian!

Cheers,
Griff

Unfortunately, if this was in the States there would be a strip mall hugging the banks of the river with a TacoBell/KFC...
