Herringshop Frens

With onions and pickles

This family business has been on the square between the Singel and the Flower Market for 30 years now. Both national and international tourists come here to eat a herring. Curious why the herring in Amsterdam is cut into pieces? They will tell you all about the background of this tradition at Frens. If you don't feel like herring, you can also go here for fresh eel, Dutch shrimp, mackerel, smoked salmon or Zeeland oysters.
