Where it comes fromA Danish classic
Fish cakes have been made in Denmark since the Middle Ages, and they belong to the whole country's kitchen rather than to Copenhagen alone.

At Christianshavns Færgecafé
Made in the kitchen and fried in the pan, with the house's own remoulade, the Danish pickle mayonnaise. The plate we'd build the meal around.
From Christianshavns Færgecafé's own menu and pages, as we read them in October 2026.

Danish · neighbourhood lunch · fish cakes · Christianshavn, Copenhagen
Strandgade 50, 1401 København K
The old ferry café on Strandgade, by the Christianshavn canal, serving the neighbourhood's lunch: a world away from the Nyhavn terraces. Fish cakes, pickled herring and snaps, the aquavit, are all made in the house.
We'd add
Akvavit, the Nordic caraway and dill spirit, poured as a snaps
The best-known akvavit has come from Aalborg since 1846. In Copenhagen it is the snaps of the cellars and frokost houses, poured cold with herring.
Steeped in the house on a clear Brøndum base with the season's fruit, herbs, flowers and nuts; dill crown and roasted caraway among them.
