Fish and sea

If you haven’t swam through the canals of Copenhagen and tasted fresh fish from the North and Baltic Seas, you’ve never been to Denmark. It’s a joke... with a lot of truth.

Fish and Sea are two iconic words that have always determined the economy and culture of Denmark and the taste preferences of the Danes themselves. It is to the fish and the sea that the country owes its power and prosperity through the centuries.

Of all the variety of marine products, of course, herring is the queen of Danish cuisine. More precisely, it will be as follows: herring is the philosophy of the Danes, cooking herring is an art, and trying herring is the height of pleasure.

Want to feel Copegagen? Let’s go on a sea trip through the canals, which like sea nodes hold the islands of Zelanidia, Amager and Slotsholm, on which the city is located on the water. Upon returning to shore, like the Vikings after a hike, we will head to the sea tavern, where under the splash of water and the creaking of the masts of ships, we will try a skipper menu - 12 types of dishes from Danish herring, prepared according to ancient recipes. It is there that you will learn what a real Danish homemade samol... and moonshine. Yes, yes, it was with potato moonshine that the history of the national drink of the Danes – schnapps began. You will have to choose from 15 types of “living water”. The herring necessarily relies on freshly baked black bread with a crispy crust, a glass of schnapps and a glass of brewed live beer! A sea of delicious beer that Denmark is so famous for.

The route of the cruise on the canals includes: the Nyhavn Canal and the memorable places of H. K. Andersen, Frihavn and the Fort "Three Crowns", Langelinia with the symbol of the city of the Mermaid, the palace complex Amalienborg and the modern House of Theatre Art, the islands of Nuholmen and Holmen with the new Opera, Mastercrane, the Sictus battery and the Naval Museum. On the island of Kristianshavn - the "free city" of Christiania, ancient merchant courts, the Church of Christ the Savior and Christianskirk. On the coast of the Inner Bay there is the Black Diamond library complex, the oldest brewery in Europe and the Golden Lion monument. According to the Frederikskanal, past the National Museum, Gammel Stradn and Hoybroplas, the way lies in Slotholman, where the Parliament of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Throne Hall of Queen Margrethe II, Holmenskirk and Europe’s oldest Stock Exchange are located.
