Herrings are the regional speciality. In the spring, Rügen celebrates the start of the fishing season with a Herring Festival, which begins with the 'herring mile' on Sassnitz promenade – rows of stalls serving this tasty fish prepared in various ways (fried, smoked, pickled or in beer batter). The island also has plenty to offer those who enjoy fine cuisine.Restaurant MeeresBlick (Göhren)
