Local tips
- Aim for a daytime or early evening visit in late spring or summer to enjoy outdoor seating on the harbourfront terrace with long light over the marina.
- If you plan to share one of the larger fish platters, arrive with a small group and a good appetite—they are designed for at least two people.
- Bring an extra layer or windproof jacket, as the exposed harbour location can feel breezy even on otherwise warm, sunny days.
- Combine a sit-down meal with a purchase from the fish counter so you can take fresh fillets, smoked fish or salads home for another seafood-inspired meal.
- If you have dietary preferences, ask staff about ingredients in salads, dressings and fried items, as many components are house-made and can sometimes be adjusted.

Harbourfront Fish House with a Local Story
Asgers Fisk sits directly on Kalundborg’s harbourfront at Vestre Havneplads, framed by moored boats, gulls overhead and the low hum of marina life. Established in the mid‑2010s from a simple dream of opening a quality fish shop in town, it has grown into a combined fishmonger and café that anchors this stretch of waterfront. The building itself is unpretentious and functional, more working harbour shed than polished restaurant, which fits the down‑to‑earth character of the place. Inside, the focus is firmly on the catch. A chilled counter displays fillets, whole fish and smoked specialities, ready for locals to take home or for the kitchen to turn into lunch and early‑evening plates. Chalkboards, handwritten menus and crates of produce lend a straightforward, working‑harbour feel rather than a styled dining room. You are never far from the sense that this is first and foremost about fresh seafood.From Fish Counter to Casual Seafood Café
Alongside the retail counter, Asgers Fisk operates a small café that leans into classic Danish seafood traditions. At its heart are generous platters built for sharing: lunchtime arrangements with home‑made fish salads, shrimp with dill mayonnaise, warm‑smoked salmon, peppered mackerel, fish cakes and herring, and evening boards that add tempura prawns, salmon roulade and other small bites. These are composed with a mix of cold and warm preparations, accented by herbs, lemon and tangy dressings. A standout here is the classic open‑faced fish plate, the local take on the beloved stjerneskud, often layered with fried and steamed fish, shrimps, sometimes salmon, and crisp salad on bread. The kitchen emphasises fresh, carefully handled raw materials, simple plating and house‑made accompaniments like remoulade and curry herring. Portions are satisfying without being fussy, and the atmosphere remains casual enough for a quick bite, a relaxed lunch or an early dinner.Life on the Kalundborg Waterfront
Step outside and the harbourside setting completes the experience. In good weather, most of the action shifts to the terrace and the cluster of outdoor tables around the fish house. From here you look across the marina, watching small boats glide in and out while the light plays on the water. The sea air, the call of seabirds and the clink of masts create a distinctly maritime backdrop to the meal. Being right on the harbour also means exposure to the elements. On sunny days it can feel almost beach‑like, with the warmth reflecting off the paving and a soft breeze carrying hints of salt and seaweed. On cooler or windier days, the atmosphere turns brisk and invigorating; layers and a windproof jacket can make the difference between a quick snack and a leisurely sitting. Summer evenings are particularly atmospheric, with long golden light stretching over the water.Seasonal Rhythms and Opening Patterns
Asgers Fisk keeps regular shop hours for the fishmonger side and extends into the evening with the café, typically open daily from late morning until around 20:30. In addition, the harbour café operation runs more prominently during the warmer months from May to September, when outdoor dining is most comfortable and daylight lingers. The shoulder seasons bring a quieter, more local rhythm, with the core focus on providing quality fish for home cooking alongside simpler café offerings. This seasonality means the exact menu composition can vary over the year, reflecting both the time of day and what is best from the sea. Lunchtime can feel bustling with takeaway orders and harbour workers dropping by, while early evenings skew more toward relaxed sit‑down meals. Planning an off‑season visit can be rewarding for those who enjoy a calmer atmosphere and the sense of a working harbour going about its business.Who Will Enjoy a Visit
Asgers Fisk appeals to anyone who appreciates straightforward, well‑prepared seafood in a genuine harbour setting. Families find the informal set‑up easy, with simple dishes that suit different ages and the distraction of boats and water just beyond the tables. Couples can linger over shared platters and a drink while watching the light change on the marina. Solo travellers and business guests often drop in for a quick, unfussy meal that still feels distinctly local. The venue has a casual, come‑as‑you‑are atmosphere; dress is informal, and the emphasis is on comfort rather than ceremony. Outdoor tables are on level ground, though space can feel tight at busy times. The focus here is not elaborate décor or fine dining but the combination of fresh fish, friendly harbour surroundings and the feeling of being woven into Kalundborg’s everyday coastal life for an hour or two.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
