About Kibbeling

Kibbeling is a traditional Dutch dish consisting of battered and deep-fried pieces of white fish, typically cod or haddock.

Known for its crispy coating and tender, flavorful interior, kibbeling is often served with a side of garlic or tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

It also has a moderate amount of fats (13.3g) and carbohydrates (16.7g) due to the batter. Additionally, kibbeling is a good source of vitamin D (66.7 IU), essential for bone health, though it is low in fiber and other micronutrients like vitamin C and calcium.

What is the recommended serving size for kibbeling?
