The Underdocks in Hamburg, St. Pauli presents itself in an industrial, urban look and is known for its reinvention of the fish classic, the fish roll. With graffiti walls and an eye-catching container wall, the restaurant attracts attention. Despite the strong fish focus, there are also vegan and vegetarian options. The Crispy Tiger Taco with fresh shrimp is especially recommended. Another highlight is the Vischstäbchen Roll, where vegan fish sticks meet fresh ingredients. The store is definitely a must for fish lovers and those who want to become one, in a relaxed atmosphere with friendly service.

A Menu that Excites
For all fish lovers, the Underdocks is a true paradise. The traditional fish roll is interpreted innovatively and presented in a new way. Instead of a boring wheat roll, Underdocks offers a toasted spelt roll with sesame seeds. The sauces are homemade and the choice of filling for the bun is big! Vegetarians and vegans are also well catered for: From vegetarian fish sticks to vegan Green Tiger prawns.
Our Order
Of course, we could not resist and tried our way through some dishes:
- Fish Stick Roll – Fish sticks, fresh onions, pickled cucumbers, fresh lettuce and homemade vegan remoulade (12.90 €)
- Grilled Lax Taco – Grilled salmon, fresh avocado salsa and a mild homemade BBQ sauce (5.50 €)
- Crispy Tiger Taco – Crispy black tiger shrimp, fresh avocado salsa, fresh lettuce and homemade sweet chili mayo (5.50 €)
- Black Tiger Taco – Marinated black tiger shrimp, red braised onions, fresh lettuce and homemade Amarillo passion fruit mayo (5.50 €) + Dirty Upgrade (grilled with jalapeños and cheddar mozzarella for 2.70 €)
A Special Kind of Taste Experience
At Underdocks, it’s clear that ambience isn’t the only thing that’s important here – the taste of the dishes is definitely in the foreground. The Grilled Lax Taco impressed with its tender salmon, which was perfectly rounded off by the creamy avocado salsa and the smoky BBQ sauce. With the Crispy Tiger Taco‘s Black Tiger shrimp, you immediately felt the freshness of the ingredients, combined with a sweet and spicy chili mayo that added a little something extra. The Black Tiger Taco with its upgrade offered a fiery note from the jalapeños, which went super with the sweet touch of the Amarillo passion fruit mayo.
The highlight, however, was the Vischstäbchen Roll. The vegan fish sticks were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which harmonized perfectly in combination with the crunchy freshness of onions and cucumbers and the vegan remoulade. In addition, the spelt roll was a little buttery and tasted especially delicious due to the toasted flavors. For us, the “new” fish roll is a great interpretation of the classic and is definitely worth its hype!
Bottom Line
Underdocks in St. Pauli definitely convinced us. Not only the creative interior design, but also the fresh taste of the dishes inspired us. Even if it got a little messy a time or two (the Vischstäbchen Roll is not that easy to eat), it was absolutely worth the culinary experience.
