Kibbeling

Kibbeling is the fish snack of Dutch markets and harbours, sold in paper trays from fish vans at Saturday markets from Volendam to Rotterdam: bite-sized chunks of cod or pollock coated in a spiced batter and fried until crisp, with a pot of garlic sauce or remoulade. It began as a way to use the cheeks of cod. A common mistake is a thick batter, which turns bready and greasy. Chef's tip: season the batter well with a little curry powder and paprika, the market-van secret, and fry at 180 °C until golden; the fish is done when opaque and flaking.

Plokkfiskur

Plokkfiskur, 'picked fish', is the thrifty Icelandic way to use leftover boiled cod or haddock: the fish is flaked and folded with potatoes into a thick, peppery white sauce with onion, then eaten with dark, sweet rúgbrauð (rye bread) and butter. Reykjavík cafés serve it at lunch, and every Icelandic home makes it on Monday after Sunday's fish. A common mistake is mashing the fish into paste; it should stay in flakes. Chef's tip: lots of black pepper and a little chopped chives lift it, and a grating of cheese browned under the grill makes a fine variation. The fish should be opaque and flaking before it goes into the sauce.

Bergen fish soup

Bergensk fiskesuppe is the soup of Bergen's rainy harbour: a creamy, slightly sweet-sour broth with julienned carrot, leek and celeriac, chunks of white fish and salmon, small fish dumplings and a spoon of sour cream, finished with chives. Bergen families make it on Saturdays, and every restaurant on the Bryggen wharf has its own. A common mistake is boiling the fish, which breaks it up and makes it dry. Chef's tip: add the fish at the end and poach it in barely trembling soup for 3–4 minutes, until just opaque and flaking.
