Matjes is a particularly mild herring and a real delicacy due to the special way in which it is matured. It owes its highly delicate meat and its characteristic, mild taste – a slightly salty note and a fine, almost creamy texture – to this special maturation process in brine. Here at the Fischhaus, you can enjoy matjes traditionally prepared with home-made sauté potatoes and onion and apple sauce Hausfrauenart, or housewife style. A fresh, green salad also goes perfectly with it. Matjes is the Dutch national dish and a proper speciality: light, flavoursome and, as they say in the Netherlands, echt lekker! (or ‘really tasty!’)
