- Meefischli are a specialty on the Main. They are small fried fish from the Main. Because of their size, the fish are not gutted (sometimes the head is cut off), rolled in flour and deep-fried. They are available without side dishes or with a mixed salad and tartar sauce. You can also drink a local Franconian wine.
