VISHUISJE HERENGRACHT

The best herring stall in the area is on the bridge over Herengracht. "Raw herring is amazing for a hangover. You can eat it the Amsterdam way (with raw onions and pickles on a white bun) or by picking it up between your thumb and index finger, dangling it above your mouth, and letting it slide down your throat (the quintessential Dutch way of eating it)."
