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!

It is located right in the center of the visitor area, near the harbour. The menu features a variety of sandwiches for lunch and set courses for dinner. Our dinner started with an appetizer of herring, salmon and shrimp. (The herring was cooked, though raw herring is a Dutch delicacy.) Vegetable soup followed with the main a Chicken Filet with potatoes. Dessert was Dutch Apple Pie (Appelgebak). All very good. There was a taste of Dutch Jenever (from whence comes gin) before the meal. Wine with our meal. We were here with the Voelndam optional excursion as part of the Globus Holland, Luxembourg & Belgium tour. Recommended as a quiet corner in which to dine in Volendam.

You choose your seafood and they tell you how it will be served. The seafood is weighed and you're given a tally of your meal. You also choose a selection of sides to go with your dinner. Once you choose your seafood you go to the wine bar and choose your drinks. We chose a pasta side orecchiette with pesto sauce and curried cauliflower. For our main dish, we chose the seabreem. We started with scallops and calamari which were both delicious and our seabreem was perfectly cooked. It would be nice to have more than one option as to how our fish could be made but all in all everything was fresh and well prepared. Service came with a smile and you can't beat the novelty and ambiance!

When you walk in, you're greeted by their in-house fish market, where everything is visibly fresh and beautifully displayed. You simply choose the fish or shellfish you want, they assemble your order, print a ticket, and you continue on to the wine shop. Before going any further, I want to highlight how impressive the fish market is. It feels almost like stepping into a wholesale seafood market, complete with checker-tape pricing. The staff will tell you exactly how each item can be prepared. For example, when we ordered a dozen mussels, they explained all the options and recommended a coconut curry preparation--an excellent choice and absolutely delicious. Once you have your ticket, you head into the wine bar. The team already knows how your meal will be prepared and offers thoughtful wine-pairing suggestions based on your selections. From there, you're taken to your table, where the outstanding service continues. We were served a beautiful basket of fresh bread almost immediately, along with our chosen wine. By the way, did I mention how beautiful the place is! For starters, I ordered a dozen oysters, and each pair was prepared in a different style. Every single one was outstanding. The mussels in curry sauce were so good that I needed extra bread just to savor every drop. Finally, we had monkfish--an impressively large piece, perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and absolutely incredible. From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. The team at Pesca, and truly the people of the Netherlands, know how to do it right. Hats off to this outstanding restaurant. I only wish we had one where I live--I'd be there every day. Actually, it would be dangerous to have Pesca too close...I'd go bankrupt:)
