Record price for first barrel of herrings
The herring season was officially launched in the seaside resort of Scheveningen on Wednesday with the traditional auction of a barrel of fish in aid of charity.
This year, the barrel fetched a record €95,000, which will go to a children’s sports charity. The barrel was bought by staffing agency Start People.
