To burn it off
In the Netherlands herring is eaten raw, lightly salted, from a fish stall. You hold it by the tail, dip it in chopped onion and lower it into your mouth.
One is 170 kcal, with 12 g of protein, 3 g of carbs and 12 g of fat. The fat is the oily fish kind, and it is what makes a new season herring soft.
The new herring arrives in early summer, called Hollandse nieuwe. On a bun it becomes a broodje haring, and the bun is extra.
Tips
- 1Have it on its own rather than on a white bun.
- 2Pile on the onions and pickles, they barely count.
- 3Make it a light lunch with a salad.
