Kibbeling is a popular Dutch street food consisting of battered and deep-fried pieces of white fish, typically cod or haddock.

This delicious snack has its roots in the Netherlands' rich fishing history, where it was originally made from the leftover bits of fish after filleting.

To make kibbeling, you start by preparing a batter with flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and beer. The fish pieces are then dipped into the batter and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy.

One of the great things about kibbeling is its versatility. You can customize the batter with different spices or herbs, and serve it with a variety of dipping sauces like garlic sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade.

In the Netherlands, kibbeling is often enjoyed as a snack or light meal, typically served in a paper cone with a side of fries and a generous squeeze of lemon juice.

While kibbeling is undeniably tasty, it's important to note that it is a fried food and can be high in calories and fat. Enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
