Cod, mussels, herring, sole, plaice, oysters, crabs (also called “garnet” in the unpeeled version), all of this is found on the North Sea island Borkum Yes, always freshly caught from the sea to the table.

Also in combination with the typical BorkumThe black bread. But something different: Have you ever tried East Frisian dike lamb? This is another Frisian specialty you shouldn't miss.

As a small taste of the imaginative use of the BorkumWith the islands' natural resources, a stroll through the sea buckthorn sections of shops or a snack in one of the numerous cafés is recommended. You'll find what once ripened as a small orange berry in the dunes in just about every conceivable form: sea buckthorn is available as juice, jelly, liqueur, tea, or jam, in shakes, relishes, quark, soups, cakes, smoothies, and punch.

It's nice that this sensual way of shopping still exists here

On the North Sea island Borkum You don't have to make a big commitment to do your shopping. It happens casually, for example, on the way to the beach or back. Alone, as a couple, or with the whole family.

Bismarckstrasse, with a lovely selection of shops, restaurants and cafés, starts right at the top of the promenade and branches off into many small side streets further down. It's easy to find yourself strolling along - and given the variety on offer, you might even be tempted. But don't worry, there's something here for every budget.

Also predominates on BorkumUnlike on the mainland, there are still owner-operated retailers. So here, too, you can take a break from the standard offerings of the average German pedestrian zone. You'll still find assortments that have been put together with love and care – and you'll find the peace and quiet to look at everything closely. This is where that typically East Frisian atmosphere prevails, where nothing is rushed. This is also reflected in the opening hours, which are adapted to the holiday lifestyle, and in the fact that a midday rest is still observed here during the off-season. During the holiday months of July and August, however, many shops are open all day.
