Simple, laid back and tasty Dutch seafood, what more could you want. One star (more like half a star) deducted due to the confusing drink pickup process that wasn't explained to us at all as we waited unsure of if we would ever get the drinks we paid for (you have to grab it at the bar but we weren't ever told until we asked 2 different waitresses). However this is likely a consequence of effected covid precautions so it's understandable to a degree. We ordered the rode pon (red mullet), dorade sea bream and mussels, and enjoyed all of them, although I should warn that the fish dishes had a great deal many bones both long and small that meant paying alot of attention that you properly separated the bones out of the meat. This is also a great place to try out the famous Dutch fish dishes of herring and kibbeling if you haven't already.

Great sea food! I was here on the weekend and came back on Wednesday which I think is the best recomendation:) Best? The Fish soup. Great! With a lot of pices of fish meat and small shrimps. Also classic shrimps in butter and garlic. Knibeling and calamars rings were not too fat ( and free if charge you choose how many dips you want - there is a self service). Tuna steak salmon were nice and juicy. You also have a shop so after a meal you can buy fresh sea food or fish to cook it also at home. What is also nice is the fact that you do not have to wait for a waiter. Each table has a QR code and you can place an Order immediately direct from the table, pay online and that is it:) I recommend very much!

Friends recommended this restaurant well off the beaten path from the beach. It was very crowded when we arrived. The modus operandi is basically self serve with a few caveats. The menu is on a piece of paper (double-sided) that you use to order inside. After placing the order you move down to pay, get your receipt with a number on it, and a beeper that vibrates when you can come and pick up (or guide a waiter to your table). If you order drinks then you must go to the bar, and get additional napkins (highly recommended) and sauces. Our orders (stir-fried shrimps) came out quickly, but we had to wait some time for our friends' order (fish and chips). Our shrimp meals had no flavor despite being stir-fried in garlic, and they were not fresh. Our friends' fish and chips were just so-so. One piece was dry while the other was quite good. The size of the orders is gigantic, no doubt about that! I was told by the customer ahead of me (who is a local and dines here often) that the menu is hit or miss. He got the Calamari fritti 2 weeks ago and thought it was not fresh, but had the same meal yesterday and was very pleased. So, short story long it doesn't live up to my expectations of a seafood restaurant so close to the ocean, and the price we paid for our meal was not to be considered inexpensive nor even moderate. 3 stars, just average.

I expected this restaurant in my first trip to Den Haag. But it was failed. When I ordered some foods like fries and mussel, all were good except oyster. I waited for Oyster as last one. But not served. I asked staffs about my order. They explained the staff in charge of oyster setting was busy. But not served over one hour. After I asked 3 times to staff, I got oyster. But my appreciation were fully destroyed. The quality of oyster was terrible. (It is in photo.) I tried to eat it but not possible finally. This kind of bad quality oyster must not be served. Oyster not served for long time and no excuse comment about late serving from anyone. The quality of oyster made us totally disappointed. I cannot go there again and cannot recommend this restaurant. Additionally I asked receipt of my order. It also took over 10 min. to get it. Actually I felt it looked like discrimination for us. That is the reason why I rated it with one star as my first experience among many rating cases to other restaurants.
