Eating fish in Zeeland

The best fish restaurant in the Netherlands is De Kromme Watergang in Slijkplaat. But excellent cooks everywhere are preparing the best fish. Some use purified Oosterschelde water. Tasty, but it has less salt. Take a look at a fish shop or stall. You’ll see just how many different varieties there are. Or inspect the fish quay in Stellendam or Colijnsplaat, where the fishermen land their catches of fish and shrimps. Probably the freshest supply you’ve ever seen.

Fish restaurants are to be enjoyed all over Zeeland, whether in the harbour, on the waterside or in a bustling market. In marinas too, and on the beach. Fish is everywhere. It is a healthy food, but above all truly lekker, in all sorts and sizes To enjoy fish without sitting at a dining table, try kibbeling. Or a fresh bread roll with Hollandse Nieuwe herring, prepared on the spot by the fishmonger.
