The place for seafood on the go
This fish stall is a must for anyone curious about Dutch snacks. It is in a popular spot, and in the current situation, it is a godsend. The staff has clean, efficient service and the food is fresh and delicious to eat. The fried cod with mayonnaise melted in the mouth.

Great traditional fish dish…
I should have had more! It was so delicious, their traditional fish dish, it came with onions and pickles, and it was so good! Full of flavor and just had a great texture. It is a must try if you like trying new things and especially if you like fish.
