The frites are quite good generally but the crap they douse them

Even the chip saus? :-)

Why don't they just sell their decent chips with the equally
decent fish they have in other shops?

Why is fresh fish so poor in NL. Every test the Dutch CA does
finds the majority of fish on sale is not fresh.

From watching a Dutch TV programme, I know that a retailer selling
fish in IJmuiden, where it was landed, buys it wholesale in
Rungis in Paris. Sometimes it is returned to NL in the same
refrigerated trucks that were used to export the fish to Rungis.

Not quite as bad as the Scottish herring that is transported to
Thailand and
turned into kippers and then sent back to Scotland (and England
for that matter) to be sold as genuine Scottish kippers. :-)

LOL


But I was not referring to fresh fish but the fried variety as you
probably
realised.

We seemed to have omitted referring to broodje kroket so far

Don't get me started on that.:-)

I have :-)

My daughter who went to a school in NL, went to a reunion in London
recently. Some bright spark arranged it in a Heineken pub which sold
broodje Krokets. it reminded her of why she lives and works in UK.

I used to like them in the early 70ties when my 'Geschmacksinn' wasn't
developed.
