The Dutch love herring and they made it a particular delicacy all of their own. Since the fish has a strong and salty flavor most people either love it or hate it. So we thought it would be funny to ask tourists to try it for the first time and get their reactions, which were hilarious and surprising. One thing is for sure, to them it tastes better than it looks!
