Ok so everybody is always about the stroopwafels, the fries with lots of mayo and the raw herring. And that’s all fine unique and dandy.

But the real thing that many food travelers miss is the smoked eel. They are delicious smokey fatty fishes, really unique to dutchland, Japanese unagi doesn’t hold a candle to it.

They are horrible looking, hard to peel (yup you peel the eel) but they are the best culinary thing our country has, and I’ll die on this hill. Goes with a korenwijn type (Dutch gin)
