Restaurant Kaj Helsingør

24/01/2025: Suverænt den bedste fish and chips jeg har fået til dato. Paneringen på fisken var som en crispy sky selv om jeg havde overdynget den med citron saft. Og tartar sovsen i en liga for sig. Jeg kommer helt sikkert igen.

18/01/2025: After visiting Kronborg, we decided to head to Helsingør Street Food Market, also known as Værftets Madmarked, for lunch. The market resembles a large food court located inside a spacious warehouse, offering a variety of food vendors to choose from. After exploring the options, we were drawn to The Fish Project, thanks to their enticing sample menu displayed at the counter. We opted for the fish burger, the shrimp box, and, of course, the classic fish and chips. Each dish cost between 125 and 129 DKK. The food was freshly prepared and exceeded our expectations. The portions were generous, delicious, and accompanied by ample fries and sauce. The fish burger, in particular, was one of the best I’ve ever had. The staff, attentive and considerate, mentioned that the sauce might be slightly spicy. However, to our Asian palates, it wasn’t spicy at all—a thoughtful gesture nonetheless. The shrimp box and fish and chips were equally impressive. Served in a paper box lined with newspaper, the fish was perfectly cooked, and the shrimp batter was crispy on the outside while the shrimp inside remained tender and juicy. If you find yourself in Helsingør, this spot is a must-visit for the freshest fish and tastiest chips. While it’s not the cheapest option, it’s worth it for the quality, especially considering that food prices in Copenhagen tend to be on the higher side.
