(Smoked) FISH OF THE WEEK



After a recent request for recipes from a Mr. K. Floyd we have turned our razor sharp FOTW minds to matters culinary. So here, direct from FOTW international contributor Janette Gerards, from the small Dutch town of Harderwijk (pronounced ardervick) is one of our favorite fishy treats, smoked eel. This photo was take on 'Eel Day' which takes place at the beginning of June and is a cause for a major civic celebration second only in importance to Herring Day.

Those crazy Dutch certainly know how to celebrate their fish ! Dank U Well Janette

Hello to all English fish lover. I am cetainly thinking you should try the raw herring with the chop onions the next times you are to be visiting the Netherlands.
