Probably the Frenchman, but he has been hiding from the German.

Mind you, I am a bit addle-brained. #But my very tenuous table, which appears to fulfill all given clues on first glance, shows a German living in a green house, between a red and a white house, where he drinks coffee, smokes Prince, and enjoys tending to Fischer--or are they Fischen?

The fish is a red herring. The trick is to get the houses in the proper sequence.
