I found out about Vishandel Lekkers from watching an episode of Andrew Zimmerman a couple weeks before my visit...so glad I did! Its an outdoor seafood stall, but very clean and staffed by a friendly staff. €2 Herring...decide raw or smoked, or get both like I did...so fresh and delicious! Salty, savory, succulent, and salivating...I ordered and ate 2 of each! €3 Smoked Eel...see above! Though extra salty and smokey, and so goooood! I was fortunate enough to briefly chat with the same older handsome gentleman featuring in the show...friendly and expert at filleting those little herring. They've got more mouth watering seafood selections for you to savor...eat it all!

I am in love with the gluten-free apple pie here, it's so delicious..... Beter than any pastry or…read morebakery shop I have been to in the NL. You must try it, if you have Celiac or you have been trying to make an effort to take a break on the gluten. It's literally the best! No bakery or pastry shop that i have ever been to can top this one. Go to the frozen section and you will find a medium size freezer separate from the rest of freezers, it is near the seafood. It is exclusive, only for gluten-free breads,pastries, and pizza dough. Open it and grab 2 apple pies because you will wish you would have bought 2 instead of 1 and also buy 1 gluten free pizza dough, it's better than the one at Alberjein that taste awful. Also once you get home with it, then put it in your oven or microwave to defrost. It taste amazing, it will melt in your mouth. Also keep in mind there are other gluten-free products spread through out the store, but the apple pie is so far the best. Enjoy!

I returned a few minutes later and turned to the worker. She had the card but I was told I was leaving without paying (?!). I paid again (!). It was only when I returned from the Netherlands that I noticed that I had to pay twice for one purchase. More: it's no answer for my letter from Jumbo (!).

People drop by and just get the traditional herring (down the throat) or grab something echte takeaway for dinner. The quality of the fish and seafood is outstanding and fresh.

Also try the Viskoek, which is a crab cake and tuna tataki for a quick sushi style lunch or dinner.

But we knew we had to try it, and life is short. It is a tiny stand located along a central canal in the heart of the city. Business is hopping here. We got the picked herring and kibbeling, which are the main staples here. The pickled herring was, well, something you either love or don't. It has somewhat of a gelatinous texture that can be off-putting, but when you take a bite with the sides of sweet pickles and onions, it shines. The Kibbeling was out of this world. Perfectly fried with a crunchy batter that had a hint of, hmmm, curry, maybe. It was amazing. Although the batter was thick and tasty, it didn't outdo the delicious cod. The staff here was friendly, and having this Dutch food along a canal in Amsterdam made for a memorable experience. There are plenty of places to sit near the stand - enjoy this tasty food and watch the world go by.

Most herring I had eaten was Swedish herring or "sill" usually prepared in a pickled solution. We returned to this stand, located near the Bloemenmarkt, across from UNIQLO. It was quite a popular area, located on a bend over a canal with trams and trolleys rolling by. The line on the two days we were there wasn't long and waited less than 5 minutes both times to place our order. The first stop I bought one order of herring with pickles, onion and the "Nederlandse vlag." We returned two days later and purchased another order of the herring and a herring sandwich with the herring served on a simple white roll with onion and pickles. Both were excellent. Didn't sample the fried cod, eel sandwich or the mackerel. Would I return? Without a doubt! While we had some excellent food in Amsterdam, Frens topped my list as a must visit stand when walking around Amsterdam!
