Kibbeling

A portion of kibbeling with garlic sauce.

Kibbeling is a Dutch snack consisting of battered chunks of deep fried fish, commonly served with a mayonnaise-based garlic or tartar sauce.[1] The word "kibbeling" derives from kabeljauwwangen,[2] cod cheeks; in the nineteenth century, it denoted the salted waste of the cod fishery, which was an important part of the popular diet.[3] It is a very popular dish in the Netherlands.[4]

Due to rising cod prices, modern kibbeling is typically made from other species of fish, such as pollack, hake, whiting or coalfish.
