I love Dutch herring!

Most times of year it's referred to as Matjes Herring, which is the usual catch and tastes as nice as herring does.
At the right time of year, from around some time in June/July, you get Hollandse Nieuwe herring, where it has at least 6% fat. Has a melt in the mouth effect and even nicer.

I'm going to NL within a few weeks and cannot wait! It's the first thing I get, even before going to a coffeeshop.

It's also very good for settling my stomach and gut, as I get a lot of inflammation there. Sorts it out, can't explain the science behind that though.
