Since 1938
Gerrit Schaap started it, we keep it going
Gerrit Schaap opened the shop in 1938. Cor Haasnoot started working there at thirteen and took over in 1957. Nel and Cor ran the fish shop together. Today their son Aldert is behind the counter.

“The 2026 Hollandse Nieuwe herring was wonderful. Lovely and tender, and certainly not too salty.”

“Following the good reviews, we ordered a seafood platter from Schaap. We received a beautiful platter with plenty of fresh and tasty varieties of fish. Price and quality were both very good; we really enjoyed it!”
