It is an OK fish shop in the Amstel neighborhood. You can get your fix of fresh herring and baked kabeljauw — cod. I wished they had also some selection of the fresh fish.

I come in here when I am in the mood to eat something a little sinful and deep fried, which is kibbling. Unfortunately, I have not got into eating herring yet, because it would be so much healthier. Plus, herring has a lot of vitamin D, which is so needed, since our climate does not provide so much sun in west of Europe. I believe a great way to try Dutch food is to just simply, stop into a fish shop or street venue and sample a few popular Dutch snacks. Raw Herring is one of the traditional top Dutch snacks, it is typically served with chopped onions and pickle. A cuisine, I think would be very much popular in Japan. When I lived in Japan, it was hard for me to stomach raw fish. So I am still trying to build an acquire taste for herring. Now as far as for kibbling, I love it! Reminds me of back in the day when I was in the south, enjoying some deep fried fish.

I used to come here for lunch when I worked here, I love Dutch new haring so That’s what I always ordered. They also sell all kinds of other fish, cooked and uncooked, they seem nice and clean and delicious.
