When you are in the Netherlands you need to eat fish, they have all kinds of sorts you will not find in the US, so you don't want to miss out. The portions are generous, one portion of kibbeling feeds 2 easily. I started of with the Simonis soup a small bowl with an amazingly tasty and rich seafood soup. The service is fast , and the experience is priceless. Enjoy when you are in Scheveningen.

Honestly, we should have gotten one order of fries to share since both fried fish entries were already big portions. There's also a section where you can get a bunch of dipping sauces for your fried fish. From the two fried fishes, I enjoyed eating the kibbeling more than the lekkerbekje.

My wife and I, visit f from the States, happened upon this lovely, small-ish place in a neighborhood not far from our hotel. We arrived sans reservations but were welcomed warmly, seated quickly, and brought bread and water to nibble as we perused the menu. The bread came with butter and a mackerel spread, which accentuated the wonderful European bread nicely. Oysters on the half-shell and Sauvignon Blanc started the serious dining. The oysters were from the Netherlands and Portugal, while the wine was from South Africa. All were delicious. For the main courses, my wife had the sea bass while I enjoyed the lobster special. It had been roughly the Clinton administration since I had lobster, and this one made it worth the wait. Our server was attentive and made sure our questions were answered to our satisfaction before we ordered, then checked back to be sure all was to our liking. It was indeed! A second glass of wine was our dessert before we headed out into the rainy night. Rain or shine, I'd recommend Vigo without hesitation.

This was honestly some of the most delicious and fresh seafood I've ever eaten. My wife and I shared a large platter for only 14 Euros. So it's also a very good value. A small note-- if you're looking for drinks/alcohol, they don't sell any. But the seafood is so good that you won't miss it. Highly recommend this place.

Just sad I had to depart :) The waitress was new but she was doing a great job and she had her assistant there to answer any questions we had. They were both able to respond Dutch and English. I recommend the Chef Menu. It was a selection of starters and then I opted for the cold seafood platter. I can't remember all the items, but there were plenty of choices (crab, oysters, 'razor' something (like mussels) prawns and a few other items). There was also a 'surprise' dessert which included at this time a chocolate chip cheesecake and a fruit compote (and ice cream). It was delicious! I would go back next time I'm in town.

We had made reservations for ten people, but our group arrived in smaller groups over a period of an hour. The Fish Market was very understanding and patient with us, and we happily enjoyed some wine and oysters during this time. When we were finally all together and had ordered, the food was quickly prepared and served. Moreover, the dishes were presented beautifully and in a grand fashion; the portions are not small, at all. I had the pleasure of enjoying the sole (zeetong), which was very delicious, simply serves with a cup of clarified butter. A perfect combination. The rest of the table enjoyed the mussels, the cold seafood platter, and a mixed grill. Everybody enjoyed their food very much, and it must be said that our group included an Australian top chef; she too was impressed by the quality of the food. One batch of mussels were unfortunately cold when they arrived to the table, but when we pointed this out, the host apologized and was happy to take it back and produce a new, fresh serving. The design and atmosphere of the restaurant is interesting; unlike other restaurants, the Fish Market doesn't care for dimly lit lights or red chairs. Rather, with the white tiles and industrial lamps, they have tried to make it look and feel like you are in the back-end shop of a fish monger. As eerie as that may sound, it isn't. Strangely enough, it makes for the perfect place to have some good quality seafood. Overall, the quality of the food was extremely well, which, in combination with the great service and atmosphere, makes The Fish Market my new favorite in town.

It's honestly a surprise from the moment we arrived, because there wasn't a set menu and we didn't know what to expect! The food came out quicker than expected. The seasoning of everything was on point. The fish was fresh and cooked to the right tenderness. My husband and I finished everything (like no bite left behind) in 90 minutes! (You can see how big the fish was in the photo!) I got to say on a side note that the seats are quite small and uncomfortable. I should have taken advantage of their coat area. I was out and about for 6 hours and bought a ton of stuff from museums and markets. There was not enough space for me to put my stuff at my seat at all. The final touch was the free ice cream cone at the end. Andddd I should have asked if I could kept the sardine... unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it here in the U.S.

I ordered the octopus which usually comes with a red pepper sauce but I asked for them to skip that. The octopus was tender. I only wish it didn't come with quinoa all over it.

I think this is incredibly rare as typically you need to book a reservation weeks in advance - usually they cannot accommodate walk ins. A cool little fact about Mattie's is they buy all their groceries from local establishments. They get the fish from the fish market down the street, the bread from the bakery down the street and their cheese from the cheese store in the main square. And all their ingredients are incredibly fresh! The bread - they get it half baked from the local bakery, so when you order it, it is hot and fresh out of the oven. There is a charge for the bread, but it's totally worth it if you like delicious fresh bread! They also make a two different house spreads (butter with something), I forget exactly what they were, but both were delicious. I ordered off the prix fixe menu while my husband ordered off the regular menu. Since Delft is known for how incredibly fresh their fish and seafood is, we got several seafood dishes. Prawns Aioli €9.90 - amazing! Perfectly cooked, great flavors, very fresh and delicious. Crab appetizer - very generous portion of crab, has some kind of sauce as well. A cold dish, but very flavorful and LOTs of tender, fresh crab. Fresh Dover Sole €36.95 - apparently this is a relatively rare type of fish, the restaurant gets it fresh from the market daily, if they do not sell the fish, they return to market as they only use the freshest fish. You get an entire white fish (pretty meaty), as well as a few sides. The flavor and preparation of this was absolutely perfect! It's a little on the pricier side, but we did not regret trying it! They gave in between course palate cleansers which were incredibly delicious! Dessert is a MUST try, their apple pie is very unique and unlike any apple pie I've ever had before. I don't typically like or eat apple pie, but this one was so good. We also got the Dutch cookies - amazing texture of Bitter cookies, presentation was beautiful and everything on the plate tasted delicious! Overall, my husband and I LOVED Matties, the service was great! The food was superb! We were not disappointed by any dish we received. Would definitely come back here again and recommend this place to others!
