A self-guided tasting trail across Usedom's three connected Kaiserbäder resort towns, sampling fish sommelier André Domke's smoked and fried fish specialties at his Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, and Bansin locations, linked by the Usedomer Bäderbahn regional train.
Fisch Domke, the business built by certified fish sommelier André Domke, operates three separate fish outlets across Usedom's Kaiserbäder resort towns in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: Domkes Fischhus in Ahlbeck, Domkes Fischpavillon in Heringsdorf, and Domke am Meer in Bansin. This self-guided trail links all three over a half day, roughly 3 to 4 hours including travel, using the Usedomer Bäderbahn (UBB) regional train that connects the towns along the coast. Each stop offers a distinct format and one to two dishes: Fischbrötchen and Räucherfisch at Ahlbeck, fried and smoked fish at the Heringsdorf pavilion, and Fischbrötchen with smoked mackerel in Bansin, so the trail balances savoury fish snacks across all three rather than a single sit-down meal. The price covers only the food ordered at each stop; UBB train tickets are purchased separately and are not bundled into the tasting trail. The self-guided format suits any pace and group size, though it is not accessible without using the regional train or walking between towns, and vegetarian options are limited given the fish-focused menu at every location.
