"The last evening of our annual winter holiday in the Cuxland in 2017 had begun, and out of the refrigerator in the chic holiday cottage we jumped out a shining void. So what was closer was to drive the few kilometers to Cuxhaven and to sneak fresh fish there again. Since we wanted to conquer the old fishing harbour, this was of course our first goal. However, the disappointment quickly widened, except for the “Fishbörse”, where we were already at lunch one day before, all other fish restaurants had closed for the evening. Okay, so the few meters walked to the “Loyds”, but this store was full of breaks on Friday night. So there was nothing left to us to run until the new fishing port. There we were now facing several opened guest roses, and we chose “The Little Fish Box” which we visited last year. Menu So in the fish box, and there was almost everything occupied for Friday night. Immediately at the entrance there was a table for us four, so we took it, although it wasn't liked us so directly at the door. This also seemed to have been noticed by the service, because it offered us to take another place where the guests had paid. Empore We accepted gratefully, not assuming that it would ultimately not have a positive effect on our visit. After we had set ourselves in a quiet corner, with wonderful views over the entire restaurant, we immediately got the menu. 0.4ér Herforder Pils for 3,40 € Beverages, a 0.4ér Herforder Pils for 3,40 €, two Coca Cola Schoppen Grauer Burgundy for 4,00 € as well as a Schoppen Grauer Burgundy for 4,00 € were ordered quickly and at the table. But now we had time to review the modern restaurant, which is rather furnished in the style of a Bistros. Large tables, rustic wooden chairs and small room dividers should make the stay pleasant. From the big counter you have the entire restaurant in view. We sat on one of the few small elevations in a cozy corner. But apparently we were forgotten. The farms rushed back and forth in the whole restaurant, but we were not paying attention. Even new guests, who now sat on our first places, already got their appetizers, we hadn't even abandoned our food order yet. After unbelievable 25 minutes, an operation at our table finally started and accepted our order. If all the restaurants weren't full all around, I'd rather have left the store. So we ordered a clear fish soup with plenty of fish inlay for 5,00 € as an appetizer for me, as a main dish, my little and the big daughter ordered the cod fillet in bearded with remoulade sauce and homemade potato salad a ́ 12,00 €, my wife ordered the »Bootsmann-Teller« with redfish fillet, dorsch fillet, plumb and seaweed The clear fish soup with plenty of fish inlay then did not take long to get to our place after the order. Clear fish soup with plentiful fish inlay for 5,00 € Leaks looked at it, but here more salmon pieces instead of other noble fish in the soup. Vegetable strips and a small baguette slice rounded off the soup. Contrary to the “Fischerbörse” the broth tasted clearly for fish. After my wife had tasted from the broth, we were also very quickly aware of the flavor enhancers in the game, as she reacts allergic to such things, we could recognize this within a few minutes on the redness of her skin. For this purpose, the flavor enhancers are used, and this is then even € 1.10 more expensive than in the “Fishbörse”, we give it point withdrawal. The main foods were then at our place almost 30 minutes after ordering. Dorschfilet in Bierteig with Remouladensauce and homemade potato salad a ́ 12,00 € The cod fillets in Biertig with Remouladensauce and homemade potato salad of our children were huge fillets that took the length of the whole plate. The fillets with the crispy crispy roasted, a delicious and very spicy remoule sauce should round off the taste. At one daughter there were cucumber salad from the large market in the peel as a supplement, cod fillet in bearded with remoulade sauce and homemade potato salad a ́ 12,00 € at the other shepherd cheese and sour beans. Incomprehensible for us. The homemade potato salad was also delicious. In contrast to the Saxon potato salad with mayonnaise and meat salad, the latter was dressed with oil and speck. This dish is delicious.... »Bootsmann-Teller« with redfish fillet, cod fillet, sollen fillet and seaweed fillet with Remoulade and roast potatoes for 16,00 € The »Bootsmann-Teller« with redfish fillet, dorsch fillet, sollen fillet and seaweed fillet with Remoulade and roasted potatoes was covered with three well roasted fillets of red Also a small bowl of cucumber salad from the large market and the delicious remouladens sauce. Here you will find delicious and well seasoned roast potatoes. This, in contrast to yesterday’s visit to the “Fischerbörse”. The frying potatoes fried, with plenty of bacon and onion and with neat spice. However, even this plate 5,50 € more expensive than in the “Fischerbörse”. Steak from white heal butt with herbal butter, mixed salad and also roast potatoes for 19,50 € My steak from white heal butt with herbal butter, mixed salad and also roast potatoes also covered the half plate. Salad to halibut steak There was a mixed salad that was drowned in plentiful dressing and many sunflower and other grains. In addition, on the plate a small bowl with white herb salad, which at best came from the large market. Again, delicious roast potatoes. The halibut steak was well seasoned and pleasant in taste. I don't know if the €19.50 is justified. All in all, we left almost 80 euros here. For comparison one day before lunch in the “Fischerbörse” with comparable food (except the Heilbuttsteak) we paid only 55,00 €. That's 25 euros more. For this, old grandma has to work for a long time.... There is nothing to complain about cleanliness. Guest room as well as the sanitary facilities were clean and well maintained. Conclusion: The food really delicious, unfortunately partly stretched with flavor enhancers or finished powder. Prices are significantly higher than in the old fishing port, but also one of the few restaurants that have opened in this corner in the evening. Only the service should remember that the customer pays their wages. We already had the same problem in 2014. The food has partially improved into the positive, the service still lags behind. And in the future, please do not use any flavor enhancers. We don't need that!"
