East Frisia is located in northwest Germany, directly on the North Sea coast and is protected by dikes

windmills are typical of this region

fishing boats are also often seen, like here in the village of Greetsiel, where Almudena, Eric and Nichole stayed overnight

Good morning! So we want to check out now

something else has also been handed in for you, another task

Buy shrimps and chop them up. Use them to prepare the speciality "Greetsieler Krabbenbrot"

And where do we find the other ingredients?

I would go down here to the harbour

No matter who cooks afterwards. First you have to get the shrimps

Excuse me, do you happen to know where we can buy unpeeled crabs?

You can do that for yourselves in the store

That was quicker than they thought (it would be)

Okay, Eric pays, he's the man. Thanks. Hmmm...

The three are lucky: the nice lady invites them onto her fishing boat, which is in the harbour

She wants to show them how to peel shrimps

This is Edda Poppinga, and she's German shrimp shelling champion!

So, you take the crab in your hand like this, press it a little...

You have to see that you have your fingers here, press a little, turn, shake a little and you're done

Can you show us the quickest way to do this, like really, really quickly?

(Can you) Give (us) a tip? Do you need a lot of concentration?

No, I can do it in my sleep

Can you sing a song while doing this?

Light blonde hair, two blue eyes, that's what my girl should be like, (the) East Frisian (way)

I have to admit that this is my first time shelling

...and I had never eaten shrimp before, until today

We used to have sole or plaice and stuff like that

That has decreased. All we have left are shrimps

We noticed that people in the north say "moin, moin" twice when greeting each other

... and here they just say "moin"

That's not the case here. It's just a tradition. Moin

"Moin" means what? So, yes, hello...

Have a nice day, good day, good evening always - it's always "moin"

Do you know where we can find a restaurant?

We wanted to ask if we could maybe use your kitchen

...we actually need to prepare shrimp sandwiches

Can we do this here?

Do you know the recipe?

I know the recipe too, yes. That's tradition here.

... because all the shrimp boats are in the harbour here and they catch the shrimps themselves

... and earlier in the post-war period and so on, there was no food

... except those from your own garden

... and that was just whole grain that the bread was baked from

... and your own shrimps from the trawler. And that's how this came about

Chickens, everyone had something like that

See image

... and now I'll get you the traditional brown bread, which is common here

"Greetsieler shrimp sandwich" traditionally includes black bread

And now it's clear who does the work in the kitchen. Everyone together!
