Japan is not the only fish eating country.
The typical Dutch snack is herring. The first ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’ (Dutch New) arrives in the beginning of June. This Year it will be at 06/06/2012.
The first barrel of herring is officially and joyfully auctioned, the raised money goes to charity.
Yes. People from Holland have been eating herring for over 600 years. Traditionally eating herring was mostly a practical matter. The fish is rich in nutrients and fat.
Nowadays eating herring, specially at the beginning of season is a party.
Herring is sold at any fish stand in the street, the soused herring is served on a paper plate with onions and pickles.
Traditionally herring must be eaten by holding the fish by its tail, dipping it in onions and letting the slippery fish then slide into your mouth.
You must see and experience it!!! Please see photos how to eat herring on traditional Dutch way.
Bon appetite!
