Viswinkel de Lange The Hague

Like sardines in a can

Marit from The Hague

About me My name is Marit, and I am a program secretary for the renovation of the Palace of Justice in The Hague. I moved to The Hague to study in 2016 and I have recently obtained my second master's in Asian Studies. Therefore, I am interested in East Asian culture. I like to cook, I love to watch series (especially Korean and Chinese ones). I enjoy walking or cycling through the city and I...
"It is always busy at Viswinkel de Lange and as it is quite a small shop it can feel like you are like sardines in a can, which fits the theme somehow."

This local fish shop is one of my favorite places to grab a snack for lunch. It is a family-owned shop where you can buy different types of fresh fish, a couple of dishes that include fish, fish and chips, and of course the famous Dutch herring. The fish is of good quality and it's reasonably priced. The store has a nice ambiance with the necessary maritime-related decor, the people who run the shop are typical people from Scheveningen, as they are direct, friendly, and open for a conversation. It is always busy and as it is quite a small shop it can feel like you are like sardines in a can, which fits the theme somehow.

There is no place to sit inside the store, but when it is warm outside, there are spots nearby where you can enjoy your food in the sunshine. Next to the shop is a nice mural depicting individuals in traditional clothing from Scheveningen eating herring.
