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.

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.

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.

The side of tartar sauce was heavenly creamy, sweet and tangy. Frens Haringhandel is a must visit.

Highly recommend if you're in the area.

I had tweeted during a recent trip to Amsterdam that I was having my mind blown at Frank's Smoke…read moreHouse, and you can expect the types of responses I got. Despite what Amsterdam is known for by many foreign visitors, Frank's Smoke House is NOT a coffeeshop, but specializes in something else that's hard to come by in the rest of Europe: Alaskan salmon. Living in Paris, the firm, orange-tinged flesh of Pacific Northwest sockeye salmon is but a distant dream, a rich memory of a past life on the west coast of the United States. The occasional wild North Atlantic salmon makes its way onto my dinner plate or sushi platter, but more often than not I'm turning my nose up at the farmed stuff. So imagine my absolute pleasure when my wife dug up information on Frank's, and my subsequent fish-gasm, if you will, upon getting there and seeing the hundreds of real Alaskan salmon bellies hanging in the back room. That, ladies and gentlemen, was how my mind was blown. I normally try to eat local, organic, and all that other stuff. But I'll easily sacrifice my foodie principles for one bite of delicious sockeye salmon from halfway across the world. A small Chinook smoked sockeye salmon broodtje (sandwich on a roll) isn't exactly cheap at €7, but it's so worth the price for a subtle wave of salmony flavor you simply don't come across in this part of the globe. I don't even want to calculate what the carbon offset would cost, but it's still worth it. On top of that, the service is friendly and despite having a bit of a cold cafeteria setting there's a somewhat "gezellig" vibe to the joint, with lots of locals stopping in to buy varieties of smoked fish, fish eggs, and other things that would go nicely on a buffet table. The lovely lady behind the counter at the time told us that Frank himself is originally from Maryland -hence the Maryland crab cakes in the deli case. I'll be trying those next time, if I'm not stuffing my gob full of sockeye.

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!
