The shrimp croquettes festival 2023

On 14th and 15th October, restaurants from Ostend will be presenting their own traditional shrimp croquette. However, there are no winners without tasters so a public jury will vote for its golden shrimp croquette while a professional jury will vote for their favourite. Tasting, enjoying, choosing.
