The Herring Stall - Holland Holiday

A very populair fish in The Netherlands is herring. Especially salt(y) herring. Obviously for sale in a fish shop, but also in the typical Dutch herring stall in the street.
The conservation of this fish was invented by a Dutch fisherman in 1380.
First a part of the guts and the gills of the herring are removed, except for the pancreas. The pancreas ripens the herring by fermentation. The video shows you the pancreas. It is decisive for the taste and fat content. Formerly the herring was covered with salt and stored in barrels for conservation. Today the herring is conservated in the freezer.
In the fish shop or the herring stall they remove the pancreas, head and bone and the rest of the guts.
Traditionally you eat herring in one piece, holding it by the tail and then biting it off. But you can also get it in pieces or on een a sandwich.
Herring is usually served with onions and pieces of sour pickle. But of course as you like it.
Bon appetit!

I sampled some herrings whilst visiting Amsterdam and loved them, as well as all the other Dutch street food.

[@maksphoto78]

It's truly delicious. Not too salty or vinegary, but just right.

[@DrGaryGreen]

It is wonderful. I plan on going back just for the Neuu Herring, in season. The freezing takes care of the worms. Sliced is called Amsterdam Style.

1:47 I hear Japanese in background!

[@otsuboyuichi]

[@fredlui3900]

Excellent Presentation

[@Brown_Potato]

Suddenly around the 1:50 mark, Japanese just comes through. Where on earth did that come from!?

[@robjohnson212]

YUM!!!! OMG my mouth is watering now.

[@americanallthewayredneck3917]

Thank you

[@Lukas-tf3nu]

Did they add market sounds from Japan in post production? 🤣

[@PortmanRd]

Not as popular these days as the Netherlands, but they have been eaten in the U.K for centuries. Old guy used sell them in pubs from a wicker basket alongside cockles, whelks, mussels, shrimps. I'd usually have a mixture with a coating of thousand island dressing. Great for soaking up alcohol after few beers.

[@hollandholiday4181]

Andy, Thank you for your comment.

[@PortmanRd]

@@hollandholiday4181 Melt in your mouth.😋

[@BenKuipers]

I’ve been a few times to the Netherlands and have always loved your herring. Thanks for this interesting video. Come to New York and try some of the Jewish style herring, at places like Russ & Daughters from 100+ year old delicatessen. It’s cured in vinegar I believe. Another style I love is I think from Jewish/Russian traditions: schmalz herring. Cured in oil and very salty, it’s hard to find good schmalz here but it’s truly fantastic-just by itself with chopped onion on a bagel or simply eaten by itself. The salt is probably too much for some people but I truly love it

[@hollandholiday4181]

Hello Greg, thank you for your interesting story. If I come to New York then I will use your tips. Thanks!

[@rhythmfield]

Holland hope you enjoy NY - and always check the jazz clubs here for a real New York experience 🐟

[@eliaremon802]

You must try the Egyptian style we call it renga it's made of mackerel or herring and we have a very salty fish like you mentioned and we called it melloha

[@gelengidergunuc2616]

Yummie

[@sarahholmes6281]

In my Neighborhood, during the Late 1970's...They Stopped Selling Salt Fish Herring (in Brine Barrels). Where Can you Buy Salt Fish Herring (in Brine)? 😊

[@hollandholiday4181]

Sarah Holmes. Hi Sarah, nowadays they are delivered frozen in plastic barrels, such as this one: www.eetvis.nl/haring-emmer-40-stuks-diepvries/

[@otsuboyuichi]

Wait, Is there someone speaking in Japanese?

[@quivercat6911]

I was thinking the same..

[@zorankalina6100]

[@rhythmfield]

Zoran Kalina I’ve never seen dried herring ever here in New York (We have food from everywhere in the world here) But it sounds interesting. Dried herring is available in Croatia?

[@kojifukui3007]

I’m 100% sure that somebody’s speaking Japanese in 1:47-1:52. It's not Dutch. Does anyone know why? It means “Welcome! We’re on sale, and the price is half, which is 100 yen!”.

[@vuvuvu6291]

For me, shallots is more delicious to be eaten raw than onions.

[@cherisity]

I so wanna try this but couldn’t find it in Hong Kong

[@Orphioux]

You wouldn't want to eat this in Hong Kong it would have been grown in filth water.

[@frederickherring4550]

But I would so like to try the Dutch way

[@InkinTamTam]

いらっしゃいませーって聞こえてるんだけどw

[@maxprintscreen4972]

I eat harring with soy sauce and korean hot vinegar sauce. It tastes gooood.

[@yousnoerd]

Amsterdamned-flashback!

[@DorothyDollLee]

I really want to try this, but I can't afford to travel 😢 Can anyone tell me what it's like? Is it too fishy?

[@willneverforgets3341]

Haring is to Holland what sardines to Portugal. Love them both!!!

[@sarahholmes6281]

I Grew Up Eating Fried Salt Fish Herring (After my Mother Desalted the fish by Soaking it in Fresh water 2-3 times a day for 3 days). 😊 We Usually Ate them with Homemade Indian meal Cornbread. Although the Fish has Fine bones...THE TASTE OF THAT FISH IS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! 😋 EVEN MY NEIGHBOR WANTED SOME! 👍😊👍

[@frederickherring4550]

Never knew. Given my surname, i suppose I should have

[@jadenthomas1169]

Herring too. Trying to trace back to England “Herringe”, Nederlands “Haring” or Germany “Bismarck Hering”

[@manardwidar8682]

I like it. I make light salted herring,makrel and salmon in Cairo . If someone needs it, you can write me. ✍

[@Nemesis_T_Type]

I'm hearing Japanese words in the background. Dutch Sashimi?

[@FateSeries]

[@loreoyedele4468]

Y’all we need some hot sauce

[@DavidPerez-ir1tm]

smaakt helgood best herreningen oproepen

[@riproar11]

Please stop leaving more comments about the Japanese language as no more are needed. Please share something insightful instead. Skansen from Finland makes the best spiced, pancreas matjes herring in glass jars, but it is very expensive. In the USA, you can find all kinds of herring in Polish/Russian delicatessens and grocery stores in the fish department. IKEA has the best pickled herring that has the right texture. Brands like ACME, Nathan's, Vita, etc. are mushy and unpleasant in texture. Blue Hill Bay is very good and is even sold at Costco for the best price! They even make Dutch matjes style herring with spices and the pancreas flavoring.

[@kayskel5610]

Bone apple tea

[@ajrwilde14]

if I come to the Netherlands to try them when is the time to do that i.e. when are they in season?

[@hollandholiday4181]

The Hollandse Nieuwe (Dutch New) are caught annually, from mid-May to July, and processed into Hollandse Nieuwe by Dutch companies according to a unique Dutch procedure. From this entire stock you can enjoy throughout the rest of the year. After September 30, we will no longer speak of Hollandse Nieuwe, but maatjes herring (buddy herring).

[@layne7742]

Minced Pickled red onion, mashed up herring filets, chipotle tabasco, and club crackers. Thank me laterZ

[@Kubota_Kinturu]

[@bertoverweel6588]
