The herring here is about the same as you'll find anywhere, but what I find disappointing is their cooked fish. If you get any cooked fish here, such as frites/fish sticks, or kibbeling, they reheat it in the microwave, which leads to spongy soggy fish that makes me sad. If you take the fish home to heat up in the oven it might be ok, but I advise against eating warm fish that's been heated up in the shop.

They have the normal selection of fish, but also prepared fish starters and main courses that can just be put directly in the oven. There is a deli section at the front (with some stand up tables) where you can purchase cooked/raw fish (such as Kibbeling or pickled herring mmmmmm). If you like fish - then this is the place to go in this area.

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.

This place isn't in the center of Amsterdam but is worth the trek if you love new catch herring! We…read moreate at 6 places for new catch herring during our weekend in Amsterdam and these were the absolute best. It's a quick ride on the train to get here and we happened to be having lunch around the corner (Restaurant De Kas) but got there a bit early. We had specifically come during spring to ensure we could eat as much new catch herring as possible... so even though we had lunch in just a few minutes we felt that a few herring wouldn't spoil our appetite ;D We ordered three herring (€2.25/each = $2.50), which were sliced, split amongst two plates and garnished with chopped onion and pickles, the standard accompaniment. We went outside to a bench in front of the store to consume them as there isn't really any seating inside. Plus, the place isn't really a restaurant as they mostly sell fresh fish for cooking at home. These were absolutely delicious; the little fish were by far the best we'd ever had (and actually the best - and cheapest - we would end up having over the weekend). We had eaten new catch herring back in New York previously at Grand Central Oyster Bar and Russ & Daughters, but nothing can compare with eating it in Holland. If you're in Amsterdam, you should DEFINITELY stop by here! I still dream about their new catch herring!

Wether you're up for a haring with pickles and onions, a fried lekkerbek or just looking for some fresh tuna and salmon for your sashimi: this is the place to go.

Oh, and the cheese is cheap and delicious. I grabbed a huge log of smoked gouda with bacon in it (that helps make the best mac & cheese ever), and I only wish I had grabbed twelve. But then I probably would've been stopped at customs, and they would've taken all my delicious cheese.
