The Grand Central Oyster Bar is pleased to announce that Netherlands Consul General Mr. Dolph Hogewoning will participate in the Official First-Tasting at the opening ceremonies of the 37th Annual Holland Herring Festival on Wednesday, June 14, at 12:00 noon sharp.

Mr. Hogewoning is "delighted to attend the opening of the Holland Herring Festival,” according to an email, and will join the Oyster Bar’s management team of president Janet Poccia, vice president Mohammed Lawal, executive chef Sandy Ingber, and general manager Frank Botta for opening day of the herring season, which will continue through Friday, June 30.

It will be the first “first tasting” for Mr. Hogewoning, who was installed last fall.

The Oyster Bar has for three decades been the traditional destination in America for the first Holland Herring of the season. The most-looked-forward-to time of the year for herring lovers, the delicacy arrives air-expressed to the Oyster Bar from Scheveningen, The Netherlands, on the North Sea where the herring fleet makes its home. The Oyster Bar always receives the very first herring shipped to the USA, and the cream of the catch, as well. Beginning on June 14th, and for approximately two weeks thereafter, the Oyster Bar looks forward to featuring the succulent, toothsome delicacy known as nieuwe maatjes herring. Herring fanciers will enjoy the season for less than a month. The herring filets are served with hard-boiled egg, sweet onion and chives. Herring filets are priced at $7.00, and the herring salad at $7.95 per order. Central Oyster Bar at 212-490-6650, or visit http://www.oysterbarny.com/
