Fiskehuset Emdrupvej Copenhagen

Fresh fish for you

Charlotte from Copenhagen

I'm a used-to-be social worker transitioning to something else. We contain multitudes, right? For now, I'm focused on filling life with things that feel meaningful, like travel, connections, and creativity - piece by piece, a new picture is forming.

"This little shop is a place people travel to from the entire Copenhagen area to buy fresh and delicious fish. It’s been here since the beginning of time!"

With so much ocean around, hopefully, you'll take advantage and eat a lot of healthy fish while visiting Copenhagen. This little shop is a place people travel to from the entire Copenhagen area to buy fresh and delicious fish. It’s been here since the beginning of time – maybe as early as the 1930s. Back then, the shop was actually bigger. As the surrounding road was expanded, the neighbor building was demolished - this building survived although it had to shave off a corner. Thanks to those relatively fortunate circumstances, you can still get fish here.

It’s a small shop but with a great selection. If you don’t feel like cooking, you can also get homemade fish cakes and remoulade, as well as different kinds of seafood spreads. And if you need advice or inspiration, just ask Lars and he’ll help you out.

As mentioned, people come from all over town. Several bus lines stop nearby, and the train station is not far either - maybe you’ll swing by after a trip to Ryvangens Naturpark or Mindelunden.

And a fun fact: the sign on the building is the original glass sign – allegedly, it weighs a lot!

A huge nerd when it comes to community, I'm always looking for new initiatives to be inspired by. Why Copenhagen? Copenhagen might not be the biggest of cities, but there's so much going on; so many events, subcultures, and places to uncover. I love just to wander the streets with exploration as my only mission, and even though I've liv...

Plenty of space

What's especially great about this patch of nature is the huge grass lawn. A lot of people come here to play soccer, frisbee or to walk their dogs.

Tutten

As Danish as it gets

"Tutten" in Copenhagen has probably the best smørrebrød in town. Some of the city's restaurants are good but nothing comes close. A truly Danish experience
