Which Oktoberfest tent is known for grilled fish on a stick called Steckerlfisch?

The Oktoberfest tent known for grilled fish on a stick, called Steckerlfisch, is Fischer-Vroni.

Fischer-Vroni is one of Oktoberfest’s major tents and has a distinctive focus on fish rather than the roast meats most strongly associated with the festival. Its signature offering is Steckerlfisch: a whole fish seasoned, skewered, and grilled over an open heat source until the skin becomes crisp. The Bavarian word steckerl means a small stick or pole.

The dish is not the same as dried stockfish. Traditionally, local freshwater fish such as whitefish or bream could be used; today, trout, char, and mackerel are also common. The fish is usually marinated with oil, garlic, and spices, then positioned near the embers and brushed during cooking.

Fischer-Vroni’s name can cause confusion because other Oktoberfest venues also serve fish, and Steckerlfisch is popular at beer gardens and folk festivals throughout Bavaria. The quiz answer refers to the tent especially identified with this specialty. Fischer-Vroni serves Augustiner beer and is among the festival’s established large tents.
