I loved the food—very generous, American-style portions. The salmon with jumbo shrimp was outstanding and absolutely delicious. While the service was a bit slow due to only two servers managing a full restaurant, they were friendly, polite, and very helpful. I would still recommend this place.

Tasteful restaurant where you can spend a nice evening and enjoy delicious food. The menu is small but very well put together. Mind the only issue the tables are facing the street, which makes the conversation a bit unpleasantly ruined by the noise. All in all it is the place you would come again and I definitely can recommend everybody who looks for delicious seafood restaurant.
We reserved a table for 2 because we were craving seafood and what a pleasant surprise: the service was excellent and the food was good! Highly recommended.
Finding truly delicious seafood dishes in Germany is often considered quite challenging, and locating an excellent seafood restaurant can be even more difficult. However, I recently had the pleasure of discovering a place in La Sepia (Hamburg) that serves genuinely delicious Portuguese-style seafood. I ordered a Portuguese-style mussel dish for my main course. Before this arrived, I was first served complimentary bread alongside beer, and a simple starter accompanied by a rather special sauce, which set a very pleasant tone for the meal ahead. The main mussel dish itself was superb. It felt quite remarkable to find seafood of such high quality in Germany. The freshness of the seafood was apparent. The octopus legs were cooked to just the right point, being tender and not at all tough, and similarly, the texture of the clams and mussels was excellent – not rubbery in the slightest. The sauce complementing the seafood was well-judged and enhanced the flavours beautifully. Even the small complimentary items given as service had a good, non-chewy texture. This restaurant offers a truly commendable seafood dining experience, standing out in a country where finding seafood prepared to such a standard can be hard to come by.
Great atmosphere, best fish in town! I’ve been coming here for over 20 years (even back at the old location), and it never disappoints. Since the new manager Boogie took over, the place has stepped up even more… excellent quality and service all around. Make sure to book a table in advance; it’s always busy!
Scrumptious and filling. Their salmon gambas grill is so awesome and fresh. If you are a fish lover just go there. You will feel the best feeling. They also have fresh catches of sea food from their private aquarium. Reservation is recommended
