"Haring happen"
BENNY:
It will be a fun fish and chips party dear Daisy Maude, I promise you! We're going to eat fried fish and....I'm going to surprise you with a "Hollandse Nieuwe". That's a raw herring with onions that you have to slide into your mouth. It's called "Haring Happen".
Typically Dutch
Herring may be called Hollandse Nieuwe if the fish is sufficiently fat, and has been chewed, salted and matured in the traditional Dutch way. (Croaking is the traditional way, while heading is done with computer-controlled machines.) In addition, the herring, like any fish, must be deep-frozen at a temperature not exceeding -20°C for 24 hours. The maturation process takes at least one day and up to seven days at a temperature of 0-4°C. Enzymes from the pancreas and salt play a major role in maturing jerked herring and ultimately determine the flavour.
