The Hamburg Fish Market is just amazing. Dating back to 1703 this unique spot takes opens every Sunday morning at 5 a.m. If you come at seven, you're already too late. The market sells not only fish but also lots of other things. It is known for the shouting vendors competing who is the loudest. Wigge worked himself through the crowd to find a stand where he learned how to win over customers as a fish monger.
