    Herring
    Somya S.

    When in Amsterdam, roam around and eat Herring (Haring). This is one of those Herring Stands. Walking distance from Centraal station to the right. I had a Herring sandwich first, then had the smoked version. If they had not been closed for a Stat Holiday, I would have gone back next day. Honestly delicious. If you like fish, please do give this a shot.

    First time having herring sandwich, and the herring was amazing! Honestly felt like I was eating sashimi. May have found my favorite fish (used to be salmon)

    Great little stand with traditional Dutch prepared herring. It was not fishy or salty. It was very yummy with the onions and pickles.

    This "Stubbe Haring" kiosk is located near the Amsterdam Centraal railway station. In Amsterdam it is probably obligatory to taste this sandwich. Raw herring with onions and pickles in a bun. Very good and healthy and inexpensive something a few euros. I've been here several times.

    I was here in May 2015 so I'm not sure why it's listed as closed! The location may be slightly off on the map, but it is still located close to Centraal Station and definitely still open. I had to try raw herring in Amsterdam and Strubbe's is on the top of every list. The taste didn't totally suit me, but the fish was fresh and I'm glad I tried this authentic dish. It did seem a bit pricey- I believe it was €7 or €8 for a fairly small sandwich- but I guess that's just the tourist tax!

    Nice cart, fun person

    Haha, this guy is awesome, I had haring sandwich and I asked for mayo or ketchup on the sandwich, this guy refused saying that would be a bad sandwich and if you want to eat traditional dutch haring sandwich just add pickle and onions. he was very polite and funny while saying that. The sandwich is very very nice. I hadnt had anything like that before.

    First they are not closed. The bridge their store is located on was being repaired. And the same family has been selling fresh fish at that same location since 1903. They are open. And the food was amazing on Saturday. I could not get enough of the fresh herring, no bread, served on was paper with onions and pickles. With a toothpick and a Dutch flag to eat it. Amazing. Simply amazing. The best ever. I ate breakfast there when they opened and came back again for dinner. And I had a fresh kippers sandwich too. I literally flew 7000 miles from Chicago for the fresh herring. And I would advice you to try it too. Best herring in the world.

    best street snack close to centraal station

    I was scared to try this at first, but am so glad that I did! it's not fishy at all, like I thought raw herring would be. in fact, the texture is velvety and savoury, kind of like smoked salmon. the onion is mild and adds a great contrast, as does the sweet pickle. now I want more!

    Delicious fresh herring (and much more). Eat it Dutch style (grab the fish by the tail, tilt your head back and enjoy) or have it cut up in small pieces. Stubbe is located on athe beautiful Singel canal: makes it a 100% Amsterdam experience!

    Not just Herring, but they also have a smoked salmon sandwich and a hotdog in a bun that looked very good.

    This place is ALL OVER social media, but is it worth the hype? Absolutely…read more We stopped here in October 2025, after an already filling late lunch. 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.

    Street food in Amsterdam, does it get any better? There were three street foods I wanted to try…read morewhen visiting. Herring was on the top of the list. 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!
