My favorites ,

Schweinshaxe (roasted ham hock)
A beloved beer hall classic, roasted ham hock or shank (pig knuckles) are crispy on the outside with tender meat.

Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick)
Simple and fairly self-explanatory, steckerlfisch is marinated, skewered and grilled fish typically made with local Bavarian fish, like bream, though it can also be made with trout or mackerel.

W?rstl (sausages)
W?rstl refers to a variety of classic Bavarian sausages. Serve with plenty of mustard.

Brezen (pretzels)
You can’t have Oktoberfest without pretzels. Large and soft,

Enjoy !

I just love ham hock. My dad and I used to cook them in spaghetti sauce. We'd put on bibs, put the hocks on the table, and have at it. Awesome feast.

Steve,
German "cuisine" is what Oktoberfest is ALL ABOUT (as long as BEER is considered "cuisine"). I LOVE the season and always look for restaurants that do the "authentic" versions of German classics. When we return from Wyoming you'll find us along the ethnic Lincoln Avenue in Chicago if it's still there after the "peaceful" protests.
