During the trip, the fishermen demonstrate how shrimp are caught. The nets are cast and soon hauled back in, filled with North Sea shrimp and other marine life. On board, the catch is immediately boiled in seawater, and you can peel and taste the freshly cooked shrimp yourself. It’s a special moment to see the richness of the Wadden Sea and to learn how local fishermen fish sustainably and with respect for nature.
Shrimp fishing on Texel is suitable for all ages. Children are fascinated by the crabs, fish, and starfish that come up with the nets, while adults enjoy both the fresh catch and the stories of the fishermen. With panoramic views of Texel, seabirds flying alongside, and the salty scent of the sea, this trip is a true highlight of your stay. If you visit Texel, shrimp fishing is an unforgettable experience you don’t want to miss – a real taste of island life.
