Why the Dutch LOVE herring | The Netherlands’ Best Street Food
Ойын-сауық
No, it’s not just a fish! It’s the new herring - Nieuwe Haring as the Dutch call it. It’s the most popular street food in the Netherlands. Every year, towards the middle of June, the young herring is caught, soused and then enoyed by the herring-crazy Dutch. The arrival of the new herring is celebrated on a local holiday ,Vlaggetjesdag. So what makes this fish so special? We asked the herring itself and his partner in crime, Jack Buijs. Eet smakelijk!

Grandfather Went to Holland before the war And had a great time there. During the war They sent him back in the Netherlands Bergen Op Zoom He traded a American for 2 cans of Herring And gave it to a family "We have not had fish for 4 years!" He returned later that day with ration packs of other food - He told me : If you ever get to go to Europe go to Holland The people are warm And friendly We are much alike Since the war They rebuilt faster then other countries Which means they are hard working. - Grandfather has since past. But How great is it this video has happy herring crazy people in it ? : ) Hello from Canada
I'm British and I LOVE herring. Pickled, floured and fried or smoked. So good!
In Dutch, they would say "Lekker!" Herring is rich in Omega 3 that prevents heart attack!

architecgillbertperez,are you sure about this,for saying Herring eating in Holland prevents heart attacks,you are dreaming. Go check from what's killing them,plus those herrings not from thier seas,illegal fishing 🎣 from them in morroccon waters plus the best herrings comes from ghana and the surplus from our fishermen is the ones they are enjoying. Is a fact. Check.Herrings season in ghana is I think August in the central region and the western region of ghana.

Probably only DW has this weird idea of telling the story of eating something from the perspective of this "something".
I'm British and was introduced to these as Matjesbroetchen when I lived in Hamburg. But now I eat them like the Dutch, holding them by the tail. Unfortunately I can only get them from one place and they're frozen but still utterly delicious!
I just left Rotterdam 3 days ago. It was winter and herring is not in season. But I found the packaged herring in Albert Heijn and I absolutely love it. I look forward to return to Netherlands during June or July to try the fresh herrings!
This summer on Zandvoort's beach. Was walking for 25 minutes then i saw a food truck close to the shore. Guess ?? Just herrings (harengs en Français) and fish. Many young people around the truck. Herring is not only a tradition in "les Pays-Bas", it is a "patrimoine" and i fell a lot of respect with that.

Aha! So that's why in Sweden they eat matjes for the midsummer feast! Washed down with snaps, though. I don't know how different matjes is from this since matjes contains a lot of sugar and "christmas" spices.
On a bread roll with some onions for me, please. I miss the fish stall at the local market. Had Dutch herring almost every week until they stopped coming. Side note: At 2:58, I'm pretty sure that's a kroket, not a frikandel.
I grew up eating rollmop herrings in a cream sauce with pickles. They used to seek them at the deli counter in Lewis’s department store. Lush

No wonder they look soooooo healthy. Bon appetit
This first person perspective from a fish about to be eaten is unsettling
I am from Saudi Arabia and I hope to try this meal when I travel to the Netherlands

Im expat living many years in us.still love the herring get it at alot of polish delis in north east part of us.also which i didnt see in video smoked eel which is widely loved and held dear in the netherlands..cant find that here local at all.but fortunattely i know the old way to smoke them.those two and rice table.cant spell tat corectly.anyway those three uumm uumm.and then some!
Herring is the bomb! I'm Asian and I was in love the 1st time trying it
the snack from the 'automat'is not a frikandel, but a kroket, or maybe a kipcorn. And we don't eat roasted chicken as streetfood, it;s fries (patat) with anything, stroopwafel, kroket, frikandel, sandwiches (broodjes) with anything.

"Freakendale." Frikadelle. Funny.
The herring isn't "new". There are warehouses full of them, caught years ago. On the other hand we have farmed out the work of fishing to the Scandinavians and only have large factories in, mainly, Norway for processing.

Texture would the selling point for me...... as long as there was no slimy mouthfeel I'd be all over that. Although I happily eat two dozen natural oysters with lemon juice, so I might not have such a problem with it. Solution: try it !
