This Dutch snack was initially invented to use the leftover parts of fish that otherwise would be fed to the cat. Nowadays it’s a very popular treat that most people buy when they go shopping at the market or whenever they’re away for the day! Kids love it and for many people it’s tradition to get this treat we call ‘kibbeling’ during the weekend. Fortunately it’s also very easy to make this at home so you can enjoy your fried cod with rémoulade sauce!
