There's a North Sea menu at Brotzeit which caught our attention recently.
But first affensaft mango. Affensaft, I venture, is a German equivalent of shandy. Came across the mention of it being called monkey juice. No monkeys were used as far as I could tell. So this was weissbier with mango juice. No monkeys.
The mango flavour was initially faint and got stronger close to the end because the juice ended up mostly at the bottom of the glass.
What intrigued me was their eisbein - or boiled pork knuckles. Tasted kinda like how I imagined. Tender, easily off the bone and still very meaty with some bite to them. Those sauerkraut definitely helped. Potatoes were nice.
The menu mentioned grilled seabream but this appeared to be fried. Anyways, fish was pretty good tasting with firm and flaky meat. Potato salad was nice and tangy.
