I love seafood! Most of it anyways, I’m slightly sceptical about huge amounts of sill (herring) and I’m trying to build up the courage to eat oysters. Last summer I tried Dutch seafood in the shape of herring in a white bun with raw onion and found it horrible. But at least I gave it a shot. What I do like are the small gray shrimps that are everywhere in the Netherlands. They are nice but I think they are served in too large portions. And for some reason I get mental images of the woodlouse when I eat them.
During the trip to Ireland we went out to Howth to explore. We found a very fancy seafood restaurant called Ivan’s that was a bit too expensive for us. But right next door was an eco store with a smaller restaurant in it called Beshoffs. Of course we had to try it! It seemed like a really nice store, especially for fish and the food was delicious. Both the bisque and the chowder was fantastic!
