Favorite fish in the Netherlands
It’s most commonly eaten in a bun with a cocktail stick or split into pieces and eaten with a knife and fork. Herring is a favorite fish in the Netherlands, and it is captured and salted on ships every year between May and July. It all begins with an auction, and then it’s sold across town at various festivals.
In late November, you may generally catch the herring season and witness this unique ceremony for yourself.
