Waterside Salt & Sill, attached to a floating boutique hotel, is one of the best seafood restaurants in the region (which is saying something), with an innovative, changing menu. The herring board is legendary, with herring prepared in six ways (159kr). Summer lunches may include grilled catch of the day and ryebread-fried mackerel, while evenings bring more sophisticated fare.
