semantics

Basically, the term “fish roll” means a roll topped with all fish-like toppings. However, semantic and grammatical rules are not taken into account, since the prefix of the word "fish" implies a certain type of fish used. Accordingly, the term can at best be classified as colloquial .

Others

In its early days, the Hanover Fair was popularly referred to as the "Fish Roll Fair" because the fish served there on rolls were a particularly striking feature of the fair for visitors from outside the city.

Since 2011 , the " World Fish Bread Day " has been celebrated on the Baltic coast in Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on the first Saturday in May .
