Gedser Røgeri Michaels Fisk
Harbour-front Danish smokehouse in Gedser serving freshly smoked fish, classic seafood plates and takeaway specialities beside the quay at Denmark’s southern tip.
Perched right on the harbour in Denmark’s southernmost town, Gedser Røgeri Michaels Fisk is a classic Danish smokehouse and casual fish eatery. Since the early 1970s, this waterfront spot has specialised in freshly smoked herring, salmon and other local catches, served alongside simple sides and open sandwiches. With its no‑nonsense setup, sea breeze and smell of smoke drifting from the ovens, it is as much a slice of coastal culture as it is a place to eat.

Local tips
- Arrive earlier in the lunch window for the best choice of smoked fish, as popular items and mixed platters can sell out on busy summer days.
- If you plan to take fish away, bring a small cooler bag, especially in warm weather or when continuing a longer drive after your visit.
- On breezy days the harbour can feel quite cool even in summer, so keep an extra layer handy if you want to enjoy the outdoor seating.
- Ask at the counter which fish has just come out of the smoker; still-warm portions of herring or salmon are especially aromatic.
- Check current opening hours before planning a late-afternoon visit, as service typically concentrates around the lunch period.

Harbour-side smokehouse at Denmark’s southern tip
Gedser Røgeri Michaels Fisk sits a few steps from the quay in Gedser Harbour, where fishing boats and ferries shape the rhythm of daily life. The low buildings and outdoor tables look straight onto the water, so you feel firmly anchored in a working port rather than a polished resort. The salty air mixes with the unmistakeable scent of smouldering wood, a signal that fish have been smoking here for decades. The setting is casual and functional: counters laden with fish, refrigerated displays, chalkboards listing the day’s offerings. You order at the counter, find a spot indoors or outside when the weather allows, and watch the comings and goings of the harbour while you eat. It is an easy place to fold into a day by the sea, whether you’re pausing during a coastal drive or stretching your legs after a ferry crossing.From local catch to signature smoked specialities
At the heart of Gedser Røgeri is the old-fashioned smoking process that turns simple fillets into something deeply savoury. Fish such as herring, salmon and mackerel are brined and then slowly smoked over wood in traditional kilns, a method that concentrates flavour while keeping the flesh tender. The display counter usually holds an array of smoked cuts, from bronzed whole herring to thick slabs of salmon, alongside smoked prawns and even smoked cheese. Classic Danish fish dishes are a mainstay. Open-faced sandwiches with smoked fish, lemon and dill sit beside fish cakes and platters piled with several varieties of smoked seafood. A local highlight is the generous fish "stjerneskud", typically combining fried and steamed fish with shrimp, salad and dressing on bread. Portions are straightforward and hearty rather than decorative, reflecting the smokehouse’s roots in everyday harbour fare.A story steeped in coastal tradition
Smokehouses like this one have long been part of life along Denmark’s coasts, where preserving the catch was as important as cooking it. Gedser’s position at the very southern edge of the country, facing Germany across the water, has made it a natural crossing point for travellers and trade. The smokehouse, established here in the early 1970s, grew out of that maritime context, serving both locals and those passing through the harbour. Inside, details such as wooden crates, enamel dishes and simple, sturdy furniture nod to an earlier era of working waterfronts. The atmosphere is unpretentious: this is a place where the technique and the ingredients matter more than elaborate presentation. Staff move between the smoke ovens, the shop counter and the small dining area, blurring the line between production and service.Choosing how to enjoy your visit
You can treat Gedser Røgeri purely as a shop, picking up vacuum-packed smoked fish to take back to a holiday cottage or onward on your journey. Ice-packed bags and practical packaging make it easy to transport your purchases. Alternatively, you can stay for a sit-down meal, building a lunch from individual items at the counter or opting for set plates that showcase several varieties of fish. In summer, the simple outdoor seating comes into its own, with gulls circling overhead and the harbour gently clinking with masts. On cooler or windier days, the indoor area offers a cosy refuge with views through large windows. The compact size means you are always close to the displays, able to see exactly what has just come out of the smoker.Part of a wider Gedser harbour experience
Because the smokehouse is directly in the harbour area, it often becomes a focal point in a wider wander. It pairs naturally with a stroll along the waterfront, watching ferries arrive and depart, or a walk out towards the sea to appreciate Gedser’s position on the edge of the Baltic. Many visitors combine a meal here with exploring local coastal paths or viewpoints nearby. The rhythm of the day is dictated by the kitchen and smoke ovens. Arriving early in the service increases your chances of seeing trays of fish being carried from the smoker to the counter, still warm and fragrant. Later in the afternoon, the mood quietens as the day’s stock gradually sells out and the harbour light softens, adding a calm, almost nostalgic note to the experience.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
