In the Netherlands, we consume 400 million fish fingers annually—and I occasionally join in, though not as enthusiastically as some! 😊 I was thrilled to receive an invitation from Captain Iglo himself to sample their new Fish Burger. As a long-time vegetarian at times, the fish burger has always been my go-to alternative.
Despite eating plenty of fish burgers over the years, I'm far from bored with them. When my kids head to McDonald's, I opt for the fish burger while my husband goes for the biggest beef option. It's delicious and aligns with my goal of reducing meat intake. The fish burger is a fantastic substitute.
Off to Amsterdam for a canal cruise as part of the #BouwJeBurgerAnders campaign. My son, true to his dad's spirit, chose a BBQ with friends over family time, leaving the three of us to enjoy a drama-free outing. 😊 Kids together often means debates!

Captain Iglo, the Dutch mascot, celebrated his first year by cruising Amsterdam's canals to distribute and taste the new Iglo Fish and Veggie Burgers.
Reducing meat benefits health and the planet. A fish burger is an ideal swap, especially with variety. Iglo's new Hot & Spicy Fish Burger is MSC-certified. Mine wasn't overwhelmingly spicy—perfect for kids. The Veggie Burger impressed even my meat-loving husband.
The boat table overflowed with toppings: salads, avocado, cucumber sauce, tomatoes. I often stick to familiar choices, but experimenting paid off—avocado paired surprisingly well with fish burger! Check Iglo's recipes for more inspiration.
For picky kids, the Veggie Burger packs broccoli, carrot, and corn without looking or tasting like veggies. Burger-shaped veggies? They disappear fast! It's vitamin-rich too. 😛
Choose from Iglo Fish Burgers Classic, Hot & Spicy, or Veggie Burgers—around €2.50 for two crispy pieces at supermarkets or Iglo online.
Fry frozen on medium heat for 13 minutes or bake at 200°C for 30 minutes. They'll shine in an air fryer too—I'll test and report back!
Over years, my diet evolved: vegetarianism, then meat post-illness for nutrients, now shifting back. It feels right. Heavy meat meals like BBQs can weigh you down—fish and veggies provide Omega-3, vitamins, and better digestion for sustained energy.
