If you are in Hague and want to find a good fish restourant it will be the right choice! A few places on the beach and harbor and in the center. Always fresh and tasty for reasonable money.

One of the biggest variety of seafood and fish. The location is not really cosy but the food is good. Do not be surprise when the bill arrives.

The french fries we loved. Good helpings so plan not to eat before going there unless you are getting a sandwich -which is pretty filing as... More

We have been going here on and off for years. Don't be put off by the "industrial warehouse" look the food is fresh and exceptional. The retail outlet has the most amazing seafood. I recommend getting double take away fish soup and put some in the freezer when you get home. This time had a selection as with a group... More

I have been to this restaurant only once as diner, but many times as a retail customer. This place has it all and fresh, if its not fresh they dont have it. The price is very moderate considering the portions size. They had paella on the menu which was good, but not anything to write home about. I would stick... More

This place is at the less touristic side of the Schevningen beach near the harbour. It's a perfect place to go after a walk on the beach, watching the fishermen near the lighthouse at the entrance of the harbour. Try the kibbeling or the "haring". Great fish, good value. For me it's always part of my trip to Scheveningen, don't... More

Fish à volonté and to everyone's standards. If you're in for a quick bite, the crab sandwiches are exquisite.

Simonis is a great place to buy fresh fish, and take home to eat. They also have a fish shop (also in Center The Hague), where you can buy everything the sea has to offer. Their restaurant is enjoyable, but they tend to fry everything, and it's cafeteria style dining. If you enjoy listening to "Number 173, Number 173" repeated... More

If you're looking for an authentic dutch fishery and you want to taste the real taste of the north sea, then you have to stop by Simonis in Scheveningen Harbour. You can either eat over there and select from their shop and go home to cook some good fishes...

They used to be just fishermen. Than they started to have a sort of fish snack bar and now it is a restaurant. And somehow it doesn't feel like a restaurant although the fish is still very fresh and the food is good, it isn't an evening out to a restaurant.
