Raw Herring (2013)

Directed by Leonard Retel Helmrich, Hetty Naaijkens-Retel Helmrich

“The last real herring fishers of Holland”

Documentary · 1h 30m

Every year millions of people look forward to the first preparation of Hollandse Nieuwe, the popular snack of raw herring from the North Sea’s spring catch. But how do you find glory in the grueling pursuit of a once-iconic fish that even the queen no longer accepts as definitively Dutch? Raw Herring celebrates the cultural legacy maintained by Holland’s last great herring fishers even as new trends and foreign competition threaten their way of life.
