Old Fish Market Texel

After about twenty kilometers on the bike - on Texel you cycle - a new herring or a shrimp croquette will definitely go down well. In fact, you earned it. Set course for it Texel village of Oudeschild, the island's fishing village, and get off at the large yellow shed. This is the Old Fish Market, a term that leaves little to guess. The air is salty, the fish fresh and on weekends the impressive fishing fleet is in the harbor. In short, it is the most nostalgic fishing spot on the island. The company went one step further by setting up a permanent exhibition that tells about the past of Texel and the history of fishing here. Educational, for young and old.

 

Besides, now you've completely earned that fat bickering. The desire for everything old at the Oude Vismarkt Texel does not apply to fish and shellfish. After capture, they keep them in the best quality in a room where natural living conditions are simulated. Then everything ends up little by little in the richly stocked counter of no less than eighteen meters long. The result: infinitely delicious, fresher than fresh fish. You can enjoy it on the spot, at the not necessarily comfortable tables under the dusty fishing nets. Taking it home, the beach, the dike or the harbor quay is a better option.
