Seafood is the foundation of how Hamburg eats, a harbour city with the fish landed and sold right on its doorstep. SE7EN OCEANS on Ballindamm in the Altstadt brings a refined dining-room treatment overlooking the Binnenalster, while Jellyfish on Weidenallee in Eimsbüttel runs a tighter, modern fish-led kitchen away from the centre.
