Lars Kohlhagen – head chef at the Oberdeck restaurant in Wismar

Lars Kohlhagen has been chef de cuisine at Restaurant Oberdeck in the Seeperle Wismar for over ten years. 

He completed his training at Schloss Teschow in Teterow, later worked for a while in Baden-Württemberg and finally returned to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Now he tells us why we should definitely eat fish.

Mr. Kohlhagen, which fish are actually healthier, high-fat or low-fat?

Any fish is very healthy. Fish is easy to digest and fills you up without making you fat. This is mainly due to the high-quality protein. But they are also full of other valuable substances, such as vitamin D or trace elements such as selenium and – very important – iodine. Fatty marine fish from the Baltic Sea, such as herring and mackerel, are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids. But if you don't tolerate oily fish so well, simply order local garfish, cod or local trout. These are very healthy, fatty fish. Fish from our lakes also generally has less fat.

 

Why do omega-3 fatty acids have such a good reputation?
The seasonal fishing calendar with the fish and the right times of the year - zander, cod, eel, mackerel.
