broodje haring

Short description: Broodje haring is a simple herring sandwich, usually built around tender cured fish, onion, pickle, and a soft roll.
Ingredients: Soused herring served in a soft white roll with chopped onion, pickle, salt, and a mild curing brine.
Cultural note: It belongs to fish-stall eating: quick, salty, briny, and best when the fish is fresh from the season’s catch.
Common misconception: The fish is cured rather than cooked, so the texture is soft and silky instead of flaky.
