Kibbeling is Amsterdam's fried-fish street snack: bite-sized cod chunks in a spiced batter, deep-fried, served with garlic mayonnaise or tartare sauce in a paper cone or basket.
Kibbeling started as the fishmonger's way to sell offcuts: small pieces of cod or whiting that wouldn't sell as fillets, battered and fried fast. By the 1990s the snack had moved off the harbour and into Amsterdam street markets, with Volendammer Vishandel at Albert Cuyp setting the template. The batter is enriched with paprika, nutmeg or curry powder; the garlic mayonnaise is the universal accompaniment.
