Family Visscher, owner of The Seafood Shop, says the decision by the Centrum district leaves them broke. \"No fish store can pay the rent if customers are not also allowed to eat a herring or kibbeling on site,\" Visscher said.<\/p>\n

The Amsterdammers vs. The Municipality<\/strong>
\nAfter the decision to close the store, the Visscher family received heartwarming responses from the neighborhood and especially from Amsterdam residents. Neighbor Erwin Bakkum even set up a veritable crowdfunding campaign to support the family in going to court. At the time of writing, 494 donations have been received with a combined value of 12,738 euros. The family says they are overwhelmed by all the support and responses they have received. Supported by the lawyer who sees plenty of opportunities for profit, the family has now decided to challenge the decision.<\/p>\n

\"By litigating collectively, citizens have a new and more effective tool at their disposal. For we have a wonderful legal system that we can use - as a collective - to blow the whistle back on the municipality. And this battle we are very happy to engage in together,\" said the family's lawyer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Van wereldstad tot kleinburgerlijk gelul. Onlangs werd bekend dat The Seafood Shop op de Leidsestraat haar deuren zal sluiten na een besluit van het gemeentehuis dat er in de viswinkel geen vis meer mag worden verkocht voor consumptie ter plaatse. Volgens de gemeente is The Seafood Shop een toeristenwinkel, en dat mag niet. Sinds 2016 wil het stadsdeel voorkomen dat winkels in de binnenstad zich alleen nog maar op toeristen richten. Alsof de Amsterdammer een kwaliteitszaak als The Seafood Shop niet weet te vinden en te waarderen voor een visje.","rubriek":"Locatie","locatie_event":null,"naam_locatie":"The Seafood Shop","adres":"Leidsestraat 61","stad":"Amsterdam","website":"https:\/\/theseafoodshop.nl","telefoon_nummer":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8809"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68262,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8809\/revisions\/68262"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8810"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8809"},{"taxonomy":"district","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/district?post=8809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
