Super good !! Loved the herring sandwich !! Can't wait to come back Truly a good surprise to stumble across it on my last day in amsterdam
I had seen many online videos about coming here and trying the kibbeling and coming from a land of fish and chips, I must say that expectations were high. The queue was long but well organised and the people serving had a good way of...taking orders and then preparing them. I paid €8 for one portion of fish and it was prepared freshly in front of me. I also asked for the sauce which was €1. The batter was crispy and crunchy but it was massively under-seasoned and bland in flavour. The fish was flaky on the inside but it didn’t make up for the outside and I was left disappointed. I’m sorry to say but I’ve had better fish in London. The accompanying sauce was also average at best and didn’t help to elevate the fish. All in all, I found it overpriced and overhyped.More
Easy location. Fresh cooked fried fish. Basket serving was large. Enjoyed on a nearby bench. Busy shop. Clean. Many local flavors to try.
One of our top snack, excellent sea food, fast but very tasty, good location. We tried different types of fish and all were very tasty.
Always grab some fried fish from here when we visit. There are lots of benches to sit and eat it. Easy and delicious stop for a quick eat to bite.
This little hut is near the flower market. They serve different preserved fish like pickled or preserved herring smoked as well as freshly fried fish. The herring on a roll with pickles and onion was mild in flavor and a nice treat on a cold...day.More
Frens Haringhandel What a disappointment! 😰 This place was highly recommended by my friend Helene, as a foodie I totally trusted her! 2 days I waited to visit this place! Big Fan if Herrings, Matjes, Smoked Eel etc. So I got up early to get...ready and be the first in line, after all this is supposingly a very popular place! (No lines, just emptyness, but in fairness I was early & it was raining) My mouthwatering got the better of me, as I slowly approached this little shack! Proudly displaying the Dutch Flag! The real McCoy so I hoped! Took a picture from the side and as I entered the place, I asked rather politely if I could take a picture! BIG MISTAKE! This is how it went: Man on left: “I am not Micky Mouse” Rather stunned I asked him why would he say that, I thought it was rather impolite! The Lady: It’s a misunderstanding! She tried to smooth it over! My reply: There is no misunderstanding! It was what he said and rather not nice, I explained I have been looking forward to try their dishes! The the Man on the right: Thank You, and showed me the door! Rarely do I get stunned, but here we go! On the way out I took a picture nevertheless only to be called: “A….hole” No price for guessing my reply! So here we go, while all interactions were ever we went so far in Holland was polite, professional & of high standards, this encounter was exceptionally disappointing! So I ended up having a baked cheese toast somewhere else! Disappointed that this has happened! Piece of advice, if you are lucky enough to want to try! Don’t ask taking picture first! Just spend your money first, and then may be, just may be, you might be able to take a shot! 😰 #amsterdam #notclean #travels #exploring #stunning #countryside #exceptionalhomeowners #beautifulholland #beautyfulnetherlands #terribleservice #frensharinghandel #disappointingMore
We stopped for a quick, light lunch. One order of the Fried Cod was fine for the two of us. Friendly service. Very reasonably priced.
We set out for five days determined to eat a herring every day, in a different part of the city. This is the only one we returned to - and we took vacuum packed fillets home, too. We had early season herrings, fat and oily,...delicious on their own or with onions and on a bun. We also tasted the small shrimps, smoked and just right. Excellent, and if you find a seat - also an excellent place to people watch. Take your time and enjoy.More
YES, in case you're wondering: this is the stall Anthony Bourdain visited in the episode 'The Layover Amsterdam'. The specialty of the house is the baby herring (in Dutch 'maatje') and it is served straight up with onions and pickles, with or without a sandwich...(I recommend eating it like the Dutch: not cut and no sandwich). If you like sushi or rollmops, you'll also be able to appreciate this Dutch treat. The current price for a straight-up baby herring with no sandwich is € 3,50, so it's a bit pricey but you do get quality for it in return.More
Whenever I pass by Frans Haringhandel I always buy and enjoy a hearing. I’ve no idea how many I’ve eaten but it has to be several hundred. Consistent high quality.. The shrimp,other herring and cooked fish available is also of Hin qualty.
Very nice sandwiches ! Just bread with herring and you can add onions and pickles if you want. The herring tasted wonderful but they also have other choices of fishes. Simple but perfect !
This seafood stall is a must for anyone curious about Dutch snack food.It is in a popular spot and in the current situation is a Godsend.The staff run a clean efficient service, and the food is fresh and delicious to eat.The Kibbelings with mayonnaise melted...in the mouth.More

It was my first time to try raw herring. i am used to smoked herring from where i come from and never thought of it as a raw. i thought i will have hard time to finish my bites but the reality was unexpected, i...made one more :) Location is convenient in the middle of the city and next to tram station. can't wait for another raw herring experience one day.More
We would like to thank you for your 5 star review, this is highly appreciated. The Dutch herring is a real treat and part of our national food identity. The herring is actually not raw since the herring is marinated in salt for a couple...More
