Vispaleis van der Star
Vispaleis en Rokerij Van der Star
A fish shop and smokehouse in the centre of Oudeschild harbour, selling catches from local fishermen. Fried cod bites and handmade smoked fish offer great value.
Located in the centre of Oudeschild harbour beside the museum, the shop sells North Sea fish caught by Texel fishermen, along with Wadden Sea oysters, mussels and shrimp. Owner Jan van der Star begins smoking eel, salmon, gurnard and sole by hand over traditional wood each morning at 6 a.m. The shop offers eat-in options including sandwiches, homemade fish soup, fried cod bites, and a fish set meal with chips and salad. TripAdvisor lists it as the top affordable choice locally, and reviewers say its fried cod bites are “the best.”
