Don’t Try The Haring
If you’re out to sample Dutch delicacies, it’s best to look for the stroopwafel, kroket, patat, or poffertjes, instead of trying the Dutch haring. These are small fish caught in the North and East Sea and are eaten raw and whole, with small bits of onions or pickles, or sometimes, chopped and taken with bread. These may be a popular seasonal treat in Holland and you may even think of it like Dutch sushi, but the raw and slippery fish smells and tastes salty, which you won’t find delectable.
