Finkenwerder is part of Hamburg/Germany, famous (culinary wise) for its seafood restaurants. When I was a young cook back in the seventies, I worked part time in one of them (the name escapes me now) The restaurant was very elegant, expensive and beautiful. I remember many of the specialties we cooked there but the one outstanding dish I remember in particular was the
“Finkenwerder Meeresfruechte Suppe – Seafood Soup Finkenwerder Style”
A creamy soup made of roux, a bit of tomato paste, seafood stock, cognac and lots of cream, chock-full of mussels, shrimp, cockles( herzmuscheln) and scallops. Pure heaven in a bowl for seafood lovers, then and now 🙂

I’m hungry again Hans. I love seafood and I love soup, so this will go down as one I have to make. Doubt I can find cockles, but the rest are available just a block away, waiting for me to come and get them.
By the way, I’ve nominated you for two awards at http://kyangel.com One is the “Inner Peace” award, and the other is the “Community of Bloggers” award. You don’t have to accept them, but I wanted you to know how much I love you sharing your recipes and knowledge for those of us who love German food.
