Frens Haringhandel was my favorite stop for food on a recent trip to Amsterdam. On my first visit I…read moretried the Herring Sandwich. Soft bread was filled with soft tender fresh herring (which had no fishiness in its flavor), crisp onions and tangy pickles. I understand why this is a popular street food. On my second visit I had the Fried Cod. Meaty and flakey nuggets of Cod were coated in a perfectly crisp breading with a nice saltiness and flavorful spices. The side of tartar sauce was heavenly creamy, sweet and tangy. Frens Haringhandel is a must visit.

I am not the biggest herring fan, but it was worth a first try. It tastes kind of like sushi fish with onions. Most of their seafood items can be served on a bun as a sandwich. As far as Dutch snacks go, this is a good stop for local seafood bites.

Ellen, who is one of the staff, prepares them fresh as ordered and is meticulous in her preparation. Ellen is also very knowledgeable about all things fish and can definitely recommend what would be best for whatever you need something for, be it dinner, BBQing, afternoon snack etc. she also speaks great English!

People drop by and just get the traditional herring (down the throat) or grab something echte takeaway for dinner. The quality of the fish and seafood is outstanding and fresh.

Also try the Viskoek, which is a crab cake and tuna tataki for a quick sushi style lunch or dinner.

I'm not a fan of the show, but Phil went there with a local chef who loves it, so why not give it a try? The place is conveniently located right off of Albert Cuypstraat, next to the market. The staff welcomed us in and were very helpful. We went with a pickled herring sandwich and kibbeling, which is fried cod chunks. Both are traditional Dutch foods and came highly recommended. The sandwich was delightful - perfectly soft bread enveloping briny pickled fish, pickles, and onions? Yes! The pickled herring is not for everyone, and we had already tried it elsewhere on its own. Having it in a sandwich was a better experience. The Kibbeling was very good - well breaded, but not greasy, and letting the fish flavor through. There isn't really anywhere to sit, but you can stand at some tables outside or snack inside the establishment, as well. We would be regulars here, for sure, if we lived close by. Highly recommend a visit here.

The Kibbelinger here was delicious. The fish had no fishy scent to it. The flavor was plentiful but not too much. The crust was interesting - not as crispy as other type of fried fish. In a way, it was like tempura batter but softer. The crust is good, but not the main character - often, in other cuisine the crust because the focus. Instead, the fish remained the focus of this dish and it was excellent. The mayonnaise sauce was tasty, but a bit too sweet to my liking. In general, mayonnaise in Holland seems to be a bit sweeter. As for the store itself, it had a wonderful line-up of various seafood items. I would love to try other stuff they have displayed in their shelves.
