Hollandse Nieuwe met Komkommer

Cultural Context

Hollandse Nieuwe, or 'new herring', is a traditional Dutch delicacy celebrated during the herring season, which begins in May. This dish is often enjoyed with raw onions and pickles, and it symbolizes the start of summer in the Netherlands. The fresh, raw herring is typically served with a side of cucumber salad and bread, making it a light yet flavorful meal. Today, it remains a beloved street food and is often featured at festivals and markets across the country.
