SLURPING Down RAW Herring In The Netherlands!!

Good morning everybody hope you're having an amazing day it's Casper and today I'm in the city of Hengelo. Hengelo is in the eastern part of the Netherlands and today we've been invited to a fish store. A very special fish store that is called Vissandel Beekman and Vissandel Beekman has all the seafood that you can think of. But particularly for this video I want to show you guys how Dutch people eat herring and kibbeling. So they eat it. Dutch people have a very special way to eat herring and they also have a lovely snack that is called kibbeling. I'll be showing everything in this video with you guys so stay tuned and let's go into the fish shop. All right then I just arrived at Vissandel Beekman so it's over here. It's actually the back of a truck but you can already smell the aroma of all the seafood guys. Yeah I can't wait to taste it. So basically you can call this yeah a little a little kitchen in the back of a truck. So yeah it's basically Tony's making there the kibbeling with the white fish. So here are the herring are being prepared behind me. The cleaning process and yeah and at the same time they are selling the herring and the kibbeling and all the other seafoods that they have here. All right so Tony is currently preparing the kibbeling. So kibbeling is a typical something from the Netherlands. It's actually a snack and you fry it so you can hear it tinkling. You can hear the kibbeling tinkling in the oil. It's hot. All the aromas they come together in the oil. So the mixture so it's some white fish. So the white fish is being placed in a mixture of flour and water. As simple as that flour and water and then the mixture with sort of flour and water. Tony mixes it together with the fish and the fish is getting thrown away into the oil. Super super super hot but that's how you get those delicious kibbeling. So after the fish has been cooked into the oil it's being placed into a basket with salt and some spices. A mixture of salt and spices. It's being rolled together so all the salt comes into the fish and then placed into the basket to the customer. It's a very quick way to eat some delicious fish. Yeah a delicious snack. That's what we eat in the Netherlands but you can already smell the aroma of the mixture of salt and spices. Yeah I can't wait to get a bite. All right so Gerard is currently cleaning the herrings. So those herrings they come from Denmark. All the way from Denmark and I just heard that those are the best you can have. So in a bit I'll be showing you how to eat a real herring in the Netherlands. Yeah what currently is happening he's cleaning so all the insides and what is left. So he's cutting the head off, putting the bones away and what you're keeping is the meat of the herring. So very curious. It smells very fishy in here but you can all the aromas delicious. All right you can see how Gerard is cleaning the fish right now. He's scaling the fish, putting the head off and basically making it ready to eat. So you can see all the insides here. Oh you can already smell all the aroma. So this is the end product. All the herrings. They look very very fresh guys. I'm sure they're very fresh. All slimy, all fresh. I can't wait to get a bite of this fish. So this is basically how it works. You order here behind me. You order your fish. You have those you have those tables here behind me. Those high tables. People can just stand and eat a herring like this. So my herring is being prepared right now and my kibbeling is being cooked in the oil also right now. And in a moment I'll be standing right here on the table eating my fish. That's how it works. All right so there is my kibbeling. That's how you order it. You can smell it. And we also ordered some other sauces so that we'll we'll be able to try everything. So each piece of fish with a different sauce. All right everyone so there we have it. We have the kibbeling. We have our herring and we have all the sauces. Let me just put my bag on the floor to eat this properly. All right so as you can see the fish here. Oh it's warm. It's probably crispy from the outside because it's been in the oil. But you can already smell it. My mouth is all watery right now so let's grab the first bite. But I do love kibbeling. It's so tasty. It's basically it's very soft from the inside and from the outside it's crispy. And here the spices that they put with the salt makes it so much better. Oh my god so good. So this is how you eat a kibbeling in the Netherlands. So let's dip it in sauce and let's try it. It's super tasty. Oh my god it's so tasty. If you come to the Netherlands you should eat kibbeling. All right so most of the people they eat the kibbeling with the with the garlic sauce. So that's this one. That's practically what everybody takes here as a sauce for the kibbeling. So you dip it in. I'm gonna dip it again for you guys. And that's how you eat it. Basically the best snack you can have here in the Netherlands. All right now we have our second dish and that's the herring. Typical Dutch herring. So yeah let's grab it by the tail. I have my napkins to grab the tail. Full of onion. Grab it by the tail and you eat it like this. That's one bite of freshness here. Oh it's so delicious. That's really, I think that's my favorite favorite dish here in the Netherlands. Some typical Dutch herring and you eat it the Dutch way. So there is a few people who cut it in pieces. This is actually the real way to eat it. You eat it until you touch the bone of the of the tail. So you pull all the meat off that fish. Until you see the bone. And that's basically finished. That's it. A real herring in the Netherlands. Cheers. All right everyone that was it for this video. Hopefully you liked it.
