Kibbeling is a Dutch snack of bite-sized pieces of white fish coated in seasoned batter and deep-fried. It is commonly served hot with a dipping sauce, often garlic sauce or tartar sauce.
Cod is the traditional fish for kibbeling, though sellers may use other firm white fish. The name refers to the battered fried fish snack, so the exact fish can vary by shop.
Kibbeling is made from small battered fish chunks, while lekkerbek is usually a larger, often whole fillet battered and fried. Both are Dutch fried-fish favourites, commonly served with sauce.
Yes, kibbeling is a well-known Dutch snack sold at fish shops and market stalls. It is associated with fried pieces of cod, seasoned batter and dipping sauces rather than a single fixed recipe.
Garlic sauce is a particularly common dip for kibbeling in the Netherlands. Tartar sauce and remoulade are also popular, and a squeeze of lemon adds freshness to the crisp, fried coating.
Cut cod into bite-sized pieces, coat them in seasoned batter and fry until golden, with the fish opaque and flaky inside. Drain the pieces briefly and serve them hot with a dipping sauce.
Yes, frozen kibbeling can generally be cooked in an air fryer, following the package directions for that product. Arrange the pieces in a single layer and check that the centres are piping hot before serving.
Reheat battered fried cod in an oven or air fryer so hot air can crisp the coating. A microwave tends to make the batter soft, while refrying can leave the fish greasier.
Yes, you can freeze leftover kibbeling in an airtight container once it has cooled. The coating may lose some crispness after thawing, so reheat it in an oven or air fryer rather than a microwave.
Kibbeling provides protein from cod, but its batter and deep-frying add fat, and it can be salty. Having it with vegetables instead of extra fried sides makes for a more balanced meal.

Kibbeling, also called Battered Fried Cod, is a Dutch snack made from chunks of cod coated in seasoned batter and fried. It is especially familiar from fish stalls and markets in the Netherlands. The crust is crisp, while the fish inside stays tender and flaky.
In its home country, it is commonly served hot with a dipping sauce, often alongside chips; elsewhere, it works well as a casual seafood meal with salad and lemon. It provides protein, but frying makes it relatively high in fat, and it can be salty. For a lighter plate, pair a modest serving with vegetables or salad rather than more fried sides.
