Sushi from the Wadden Sea

Straight from the sea onto your plate

All those fish, oysters and marsh samphire... Why wait for all those goodies from Wadden Sea World Heritage Sites to hit the shops when you can harvest them yourself? Go on an excursion and gather your meal together. It doesn't get any fresher than this.

Oysters and seaweed

Together with the fishing couple from 't Ailand, you go hunting from Lauwersoog. With a sledge you glide to their traps and collect shellfish. What's in the pot this time? Seaweed, crabs, oysters, cockles, mullet or flatfish: at 't Ailand they always know how to make something tasty. Or even do that yourself. In a razor-sharp workshop, you will learn how to fillet fresh fish safely and without hours of fiddling.

Vegetables from the sea

More of the edible plants? Then too, the Wadden conquers your heart. Or at least your tongue and stomach. Make sure you know what you are picking, for instance by joining a wild picking guide. Then a world will open up for you. So simple that it is also fun with children: samphire picking at Noordpolderzijl. Walk towards the water and pick a (not too big) bowl of salty vegetables in the meantime. Delicious in salads, soups or even in a stew.
