Best Fish Bars In Amsterdam
Bar Fisk
Fisk is the Scandinavian word for fish. Funnily enough, the owners of Fisk come from a completely different direction, namely Israel. And it shows. They have brought the typical conviviality of the Israeli markets and their love for the delicious flavors of Tel Aviv to Amsterdam. Expect special flavor combinations on beautifully presented plates, such as shrimp falafel with tahini and spring onion and scallops with corn, feta, and chervil. They are different dishes that are perfect for sharing. Wash away the fine fish with one of Fisk's fantastic cocktails, which are works of art in themselves.

Mr. Crab Seafood Restaurant
One of my favorite fish locations in Amsterdam until now. The captain, Mr. Crab, took this very seriously when cooking for his crew. Every day he took fresh fish or crab from the catch of the day, mixed them with the best fresh vegetables and herbs, and added his passion and love to it. That’s might just be the secret that makes the seafood at Mr. Crab so unique.

Brut de Mer
Small but nice and therefore packed every day: Brut de Mer at Gerard Douplein in the Pijp. When you enter the pipe drawer, the first thing you see is oysters, mountains of oysters. Fresh daily, of course. They are opened in front of you at the long marble bar by the oysterman while the bartender fills your glass with a beautiful, matching wine at the same time. Of course, Brut de Mer offers more than just oysters, and the menu is based on what can be obtained on the market that day. However, there are also classics, such as the Lobster Roll, the Fruits de Mer plateau, and the King Krab. It is not the cheapest among the fish bars, but then you have something.

The Seafood Bar
The success story called The Seafood Bar cannot be missed in this list. It all started in 2012 on the Van Baerlestraat, and in the meantime, the modern, casual, and always packed fish restaurant has three branches in Amsterdam (and since 2018, also one in Utrecht). There is also The Seafood Shop, on the Leidsestraat. The menu of The Seafood Bar features only the best quality fresh fish and seafood. Everything on your plate, from oyster to octopus to lobster, is carefully selected and prepared according to traditional methods. Fast, good, and tasty. A golden formula.
