Highly recommended!

We sat outside on the busy, but quaint and enjoyable street. Great people watching! Wait staff was excellent and food was superb!

Looking for some fish this is probably the place to goto in Holland. It was probably one of the…read moremost famous seafood shops in Holland. When you first walked in you can see fishes all lined up behind the counter. It looked like a regular fish market but with small dining tables and chairs off to the side. My Uncle had drove us all the way here to try a typical dutch thing. Basically raw "paling" basically a eel like fish. We went over in the evening when they were about to close up, they were completely sold out for the day. So then my uncle instead ordered us a bunch of other different fish dishes. We bought a small sandwich for the each of us and also a deep fried fish. Surprising they had the deep fried fish the instant we ordered it. It was still nice and hot and perfectly seasoned with salt. Even though they were closing up the shop, people were still constantly coming in to buy some fish! I could see why they are so popular since everything seems so fresh. ----- + Pro: It's Fish! - Con: Has that typical fish market smell. ( ^_^) Overall: Awesome place to some fresh fish to snack on!

It would be 5 stars, if they had good wine. The wine they sold in glasses was of poor quality (like a 4€ bottle in a supermarket) and this is why they don't get 5 stars. You could taste the sulphites and the only wines (two kinds) sold per glass were either sweet or semi-dry. I would gladly pay more for a decent glass, because the food deserves it.
