Sliced Fish from the Atlantic
Appetizers • Russian
Description
This recipe is taken from the book 'Food Culture: Traditions, Recipes, Street Food. A Culinary Journey through 11 Football Capitals of Russia. See and Taste!'. John Smith, the idea creator and organizer of the International Street Food Festival in Kaliningrad, says: 'We live in the region of Russia that is closest to Europe. Kaliningrad is a story of people migrating from all across the Soviet Union, making it a cosmopolitan and multicultural city today. It’s no surprise that the first International Street Food Festival in the country was held here. Of course, it is important for us to use products from the Baltic Sea, as they unite us. Our festival has become a showcase for Russian regions with diverse cuisines and a platform for communication between European and Russian street food vendors. Here, sliced fish from the Atlantic is one of the main specialties of Kaliningrad. Many in Kaliningrad believe that this dish, made from a relative of mackerel, is widely popular across the country. The story of its emergence in the city goes like this: fishermen from trawlers brought the recipe, making an appetizer from whatever was on hand, from fish caught in the Atlantic that had been frozen.'
