📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Kibbeling is bite-sized pieces of cod or other white fish, battered and fried, sold at market stalls and in harbor towns across the Netherlands. It's said to have originally been made from fish cheeks. It's classically eaten with a small fork, dipped in garlic or tartar sauce.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Saturday morning market, a line forms at the fish stall and families bite into fresh kibbeling topped with garlic sauce.
