Eating fish is a very Dutchy thing. Specially herring, here called haring. The traditional way of eating it is raw, with onions, either alone or in a bun. When alone, there is no way to eat it but by doing the same as the Dutch soccer fan is doing: you hold the tail and bite it. Quite good, actually. A Dutch sushi? Or is it sushi Dutch?
I was told that today there was freshly arrived herring. Then I went to the market to had some. Then I started to ponder: what does "freshly arrived" mean? Does it mean that the herring I had last month was not fresh?
Well, in the market, there are also other type of fish: cod, shrimp, even fish eggs (not caviar), etc.
