#ndr #ndrdoku #balticsea In this Kühlungsborn family, everything revolves around fish, thanks to their grandfather, because even in the GDR era, grandfather Bruno was a fisherman on all the world's oceans. As soon as his grandson Paul could walk, he took him fishing in the Baltic Sea. And even son-in-law Roberto, actually a trained ship air conditioning engineer, got into the business with a fish restaurant and fish processing company. Roberto Keppler has been processing and refining fish in the Baltic Sea resort of Kühlungsborn for 20 years. He runs a smokehouse, still the restaurant, and a fishing hut. But now it is no longer father-in-law Bruno who catches the fish, but Roberto's son Paul. Paul is 27 years old and one of the youngest fishermen in the country. He is currently fishing for cod and flatfish. He often pulls entire anchor chains, ropes, lines - a lot of junk - on board with his net as bycatch. The Kepplers dispose of bottles and plastic waste, but Roberto is happy about the other things. For him, these are real treasures. He transforms old groynes and rusty anchors into tables, lamps, entire bar fittings. His latest hobby! Every day, Roberto sneaks out of the company for two or three hours into his workshop and builds furniture and works of art from the sea debris. During the strict regulations in the Corona pandemic, he has more time for this than he would like; he was not allowed to open his restaurant. But preparations for the season are continuing. His people are already cooking test dishes. And in the fisherman's hut, he is testing the sale of fish sandwiches.
