The tradition of fresh fish auctions in Hamburg stretches back to the
year 1886, and the Fischmarkt Hamburg-Altona GmbH has been involved in
traditional auctioneering since it was founded in 1934.
While there are now fewer fishing cutters and trawlers in the harbour following
the structural changes of the last few years and decades, people's preference
for fish has remained.
Logistics with lorries and aircraft now increases freshness and quality, and Fischmarkt Hamburg-Altona GmbH sees itself today as an independent broker between fishermen, producers and buyers.
Proper preparation and handling of such sensitive products call for expertise and experience in all matters maritime. Our auction operation is naturally certified in accordance with the relevant EC guidelines and fulfils the strict requirements of the EC hygiene directive.
Distinguished wholesalers of fish and seafood traditionally have a site and their main base in the market halls of the Fischmarkt Hamburg-Altona GmbH, while other wholesalers, retailers, restaurateurs, buyers and itinerant merchants come here to trade.
