Rob Wigboldus Fishmonger in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

The taste is 3 stars, not bad. I gave it an extra star because it seems to be a unique food only available here. As long as it is unique in the local area, I will give it an extra star!

Really good fish and kind staff. Every year I come back here to eat

Came around lunch time when it says on google open but it was not. Need proper update and check on opening time

Arring sandwich with onion amazing! The shop is typical and the staff is kind! No card, only cash

Authentic Amsterdam herring in bread is here!

Excellent Dutch herring! Highly recommend.

small place ...very friendly service.... heavenly food

So yummy 10/10 Had 3 portions ... Beautiful fish

Very small, inconspicuous shop. Top quality. The two gentlemen are very nice. Prices for one roll range from €4-6. Couldn't be better.

the only place we found to eat a sandwich with raw herring

Kibbeling from the microwave, pin not possible. Big regret having to throw away the container. My date didn't even take a bite

Really delicious fish! Friendly warm service :)

The national dish is delicious, the location is great, walking down the alley, the staff speaks a little English

Delicious!!! and cheapper! i recommand!

Good food and cans of beer. Amstel and Heineken really cheap. You can eat good fish. Great place for a snack.

Excellent fresh herring sandwich. The boss is very nice. Go for it without hesitation!

Great place in the city center! Very fast service and incredibly tasty, fresh herring - it just melts in your mouth. Everything is fresh, served with a smile and without unnecessary waiting. We were very pleased and recommend it to all fans.

Typical food, and not very expensive. We loved it!

They sell old kibbeling by just putting it back in the fryer... nice man.

They were out of the food we wanted to try, didnt even look at us when taking to us, and the place wasnt as clean as I would expect from a fish place

Food is good, but sadly cash only...

The owners were very friendly and the fish was great value for money. The only negative is that they only accept cash payment.

Here you can try the best herring! Ici, vous pouvez goûter le meilleur hareng! Here you can try the best herring!

Kibbeling is way too expensive and comes straight from the microwave. not crispy and tasty at all

I've been coming to this really small shop for many years to eat one or two herring rolls. These are of perfect quality. Eel and fried herring also very good. There are definitely other places to eat Kibbeling. When I read the reviews here that are all more than top when it comes to matjes, why is Kibbeling definitely here? Enjoy the matjes on offer, they are really worth it.

The food was amazing and the staff were so kind ❤️ The food was so delicious and the owner was so kind! Definitely eat the herring sandwich and be sure to try the fried cod haha, it's perfect for Korean tastes!!

An old grocer from Amsterdam. You eat few things and the space is narrow but it gives the feeling of real.

A quintesential Amsterdam experience. Very friendly, fish and service centric. The Maatjesharing was delicious on a bun, with some finely chopped onions. The guys behind the counter were so accommodating. Cash only, They happily accepted my USD and had a coffee can full of USD change. So glad I had a sandwich at this tiny place.

Really typical food. Fried fish burger, fresh herring sandwich, fried cod croquettes, everything was very, very good. On the other hand, you have to be careful, they only take cash.💕✨🐟

SPECTACULAR!! ROB WIGBOLDUS VISHANDEL the Master! Sandwich with herring and Amstel TOP

I've never eaten such bad kibbelings. The owner and the waitress were extremely unfriendly, the kibbles were simply put in the microwave for a minute. Absolutely not recommended

It's cheap and delicious. Grandpa is also kind. If you are unsure about food, please go!

Herring sandwich with onions and pickled gherkins.

Delicious fresh Herring. The best I had in Amsterdam so far

Typical place in the heart of the charming city of Amsterdam where you can taste sandwiches with salmon, herring and eel! Very good. Nice owners

We went to try the famous herring sandwich. Very good and not only that, the other dishes are also good.

Lovely place for an authentic Dutch experience. Very nice, and attentive owner. Food is just perfect for breakfast. Highly recommend.

A tiny, old style fish shop right by the Beurs van Beurlage I was attending an event at the Beurs and needed to run out for a quick bite to eat and am so happy I found this place. The owner was very nice and I ordered the herring sandwich. Bread was soft, fish was tender and salty, and the pickles were crisp and tangy. Cheap and delicious

Honestly the most tender and tastiest fish I have tasted was there! A small old-fashioned store whose owner is very welcoming and friendly! I go back there every time I'm in Amsterdam!

It is and remains the best herring shop in Amsterdam!

Must visit very tasty And Rob is very welcoming 😍

Small "fish shop" in a corner in an alley. Fish was not fresh and cold. Sir let chef microwave cook the fish. Avoid this!

10/10 I really felt like having a nice Dutch fish, I thought it would be a tourist place again. It turns out to be the opposite. Thanks gentlemen! All Tasty

Typical place for a quick sandwich. The place is run by two nice gentlemen who seem to make everything in an artisanal way, including the pickles. The typical dish is the herring sandwich, a very tasty dish. you can also order other local fish specialties. The place is small and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommended for those who want to taste the real Holland.

Amazing place, a hidden gem, best herring, smoked eel, and smoked salmon in Amsterdam, fresh reasonable price and such a very hospitable and friendly owner. A tiny place that I keep visiting several times every time I visit Amsterdam ….

Excellent herring sandwich, classic Dutch. Small fryer with three tables. A must try if you are in the center of Amsterdam

Very bad. Dirty. It does not accept paper and a handwritten piece of paper for the receipt. Rude owner and everything very dirty. 1 star is too much.

Super tasty herring dishes. Always my pleasure!

I ordered hurling, mackerel sandwich, and two beers and it cost about 15€. Both were very delicious.

Small and sincere place where you eat fish with various solutions. From the famous herring in the sandwich to the fried foods. Tiny interior with 5 chairs and a few tables where you can eat in close contact. Perhaps a little overrated in the guides but excellent value for money.

Traditional herring sandwich bar, But not for funs of dressed tables canteens

Just incredible! Authentic place

Traditional, local and unique place to eat Holland harring and fishes 🇳🇱 .fair prices, good service. Highly recommended!

Haring doesn't look fishy at all~ It was a refreshing experience. I hope you don't be afraid and try it at least once. Cash only is accepted~~!!

Friendly service and delicious traditional herring and eel..so soft and the pickle really delicious..

Picturesque place with delicious sandwiches.

Super friendly owner and the quality of the fish is awesome

Its marvelous. Nice fish meals. I do like it and will come again

Everything was excellent and very kind, the price was also the best, I will return every time I can

Excellent sandwich. Very friendly staff.

Delicioso Bocadillos realmente ricos. A destacar el de anguila ahumada. 9€ cada uno. Muy amables y hablan castellano.

Very good place to try herring. The authentic Dutch herring.

Sweet man, but the herring there is absolutely not fresh from the knife, nice for tourists but not if you want to eat fresh fish.

I was super excited about having a kibbeling with my friends and went to this shop. The person we were talking to (probably the shop owner) was talking about unintelligibly and we couldn’t understand him, so we went on and asked him “sorry what was that?” several times. The shop owner asked us where we were from and when we told that we were from Türkiye, he immediately answered “OH THAT’S WHY”. Owner went from zero to racist pretty fast 💀 When we said that we don’t want to buy anything after his rude behavior and start leaving the place he continued to laugh at us. So much for their hospitality :)

The owner is super kind and makes you feel at home. Also, the fish is fresh and tasty. You have to get some kibbeling, it's amazing!

OG nice old dutch man, good Herring, reasonable price

kind and friendly staff. loved the herring for my first experience

Update 2024. We came back to Amsterdam and ate here again. Twice during the same day! Everything was delicious and fresh. We tried 5 different things. Smoked salmon was amazing, tender. Fried cod was delicious too. We will come back next trip as well. It’s our tradition now. Please support this small business ☺️ 2023. Delicious and fresh. We tied herring sandwich, smoked eel, crab salad, fried cod, everything was super tasty! Totally will eat here again next time I’m in Amsterdam! Some people complain that cod fish is microwaved, but it is freshly cooked the same day (big amount), it’s very tender. The owner is friendly and kind. There are only 2 tables inside , but people come and go, there’s always a chance to sit and enjoy your snack ☺️

Excellent herring and fried fish.

Unfortunately bad opening times too short

Stumbled upon this hidden gem by accident, and it was exactly what I needed after too much fried food. The two friendly guys running the place (maybe one is Rob Wigboldus?) served amazing seafood. The salt-brined herring was so good I returned for more—the mackerel was fresh and generous, the smoked salmon mildly smoky and sweet, and the smoked eel was incredibly meaty and satisfying. This spot truly makes me want to return and dive deeper into Dutch culture. €5 for the herring and €8 for a plate with 3. Very reasonable price in such a busy area. Highly recommend!

Tasty. We ordered herring in a bun and fried fillet. We bought fries next door.

Not the worst and not the best..I got my fix of herring so ok..

Visita este lugar cada vez que vamos a Amsterdam La cría de arenque es morir por El salmón ahumado y la anguila también son brillantes. La comida aquí me hace tan feliz

I ordered the salted herring. There was no smell at all, and it was so delicious that it melted in your mouth! Fresh fish and fluffy bread! Good cost performance! The taste that Japanese people like! The staff are very friendly and fun. I will go again!

The herring sandwich is the best and cheapest street food in the city, by far.

Leeeecker! One of the few fish stalls that still exist in Amsterdam. Ate a herring roll - and immediately ordered another one. :-)

unsanitary fish shop, and microwavable food. Not recommended.

We tried two types of fish. One was hering and the other we chose fried fish. They were both beautiful. Their bread is a soft bread that does not overpower the taste of the fish. Hering is served cold. It has a soft texture.

Even 18 years after my first visit to Rob's cute little fish shop, his fish sandwiches still taste delicious!

Great herring sandwiches if you like them. Small but nice shop with two tables. Warning: they do not take cards, it's "cash only".

Herang sandwich for €4.50. The pickles are sweet and sour, the harang melts in the mouth without being too salty, the bread is very soft, and the raw onions add something to the dish. (I don't recommend kissing anyone after eating this). This is a good place to eat the harang sandwich. There are seats, and it's in a small, untouristy street perpendicular to a big street, so it's quiet.

In Amsterdam, Netherlands, we attended Rob Wigboldus Fishmonger, to try their specialty, ‘Broodje Haring’. This Dutch-delicacy-sandwich includes a small herring, filleted and kept at a fresh sashimi grade. The herring is lightly salted and pickled, short-term, likely over night. There are subtle tastes of salt, vinegar and lemon juice that can be picked up, but the dominant flavour comes from the fresh herring, which has a hearty, sweet and oily flavour. In combination with the herring, they also use fresh white onion and Kesbeke branded pickles, a local Dutch brand which utilises a perfected recipe of sweet and sour cucumbers. The bread used is fresh, soft and white. The option for a fresh chilli paste is included at your own preference, having a medium spicy level of heat. We also tried their ‘kibelling’, a deep fried cod fish, which also comes in a sandwich with pickles and onion. It had a beautiful oily taste with a distinct and delicate-cod flavour.

The best herring sandwich in all of Holland, without a doubt. It's exquisite. We cannot give a 5 for the man who serves the food, since he should check his hygiene a little, and you also have to pay in cash. It really is cheap to be in Amsterdam.

A must-try when in Amsterdam. Fresh herring with pickles. Even better is fresh eel — not an easy find, anymore. Super fresh and tasty. Friendly & genuine people — They have been around since 40 years.

Very tasty fish sandwich but a little portion. The staff is super talkative

Typical dutch. Haring very good

Tiny little gem where you can taste some of the best herrings in Amsterdam.

If you visit Amsterdam you must come to this place!

Wanna feel the traditional Netherlands experience? Come here. Wanna eat good fish? Come here Friendly staff? Come here Cheap prices for excellent quality? Come here. Just come here, is just perfect

Herring is delicious but bread had MOLD

delicious and authentic. Matjes and pollock rolls were very good

Very tasty herring. Not salty at all. You cannot pay with card though, cash only.

The owner was very friendly, the fish taste great. Thank you

For those who love herring!!! Cheap and plentiful

Simple, good, delicious, I actually love the haring sandwich here. Any fish lovers should come pay a visit.

Madness of compadre and super cheap sandwiches, a must visit if you are in Amsterdam

The best herring I ever tried. Highly recommend this place.

El mejor lugar en Ámsterdam para comer rico, bueno y barato. Excelente todo. Quizás el lugar es muy chico, pero eso es parte de la experiencia también.
