Greetings all,

I am a LOVER of fish, mostly from the sea but I do also like Trout, Perch and freshwater Catfish.

I had such a hard time identifying my favorite kinds of Fish & Seafood at the supermarket, so I put together a list of the names translated into how they are known in English. Hope it makes your lives easier:

Kabeljau - Cod
Steinbutt - Turbot
Flusskrebs - Crayfish
Wolfbarsch - Wild Bass, Sea Bass
Brasse - Sea Bream
Seezunge - Sole
Seesaibling - Atlantic Char
Hummer - Lobster
Auster - Oyster
Krebs, Krabbe - Crabs
Seelachs - Coley, Cod Family, cook with strong flavours
Seehechts - Hake, Saithe
Goldbutt - Plaice
Seeteufel - Monkfish, Angler
Pangasius - Catfish
Zander - Zander, Pike Perch, member of the Perch family
Claresse - European Catfish, cook with strong flavours
Echte Rotzungen - Lemon Sole, Dab
Rotbarsch - Atlantic Ocean Perch, Redfish
Egli - Freshwater Perch
Tintenfish - Octopus
Kalmar - Squid

Happy eating !

You forgot:

Forelle - Trout (don't be conned by Lachsforellen they are just normal trout to that have been fed a pigment to make them look like salmon)
Aesche - Grayling, probably one of the best freshwater fish at all but not easy to find in shops, (easy to catch though)
