'Fischbrötchen' (fish sandwich) consists of 'Fisch' (fish) and 'Brötchen' (bread roll). The first part names the filling; the second part indicates what kind of food it is.
Für die Fischbrötchen kaufen wir frische Brötchen und geräucherten Fisch.
We're buying fresh bread rolls and smoked fish for the fish sandwiches.
When ordering, you can specify the filling you want using 'Fischbrötchen mit …' (fish sandwich with …). Common combinations are 'mit Matjes' (with matjes herring), 'mit Bismarckhering' (with pickled herring), and 'mit Backfisch' (with battered fried fish).
Ich hätte gern ein Fischbrötchen mit Matjes und ohne Zwiebeln.
I'd like a fish sandwich with matjes herring and no onions, please.
'Fischbrötchen' (fish sandwiches) are especially typical of northern Germany and the coastal regions along the North Sea and Baltic Sea. There, they are often sold at snack stands and right by the harbor.
