Dried Fish and Beer

[Ulysses]

How exactly is the dried fish prepared? How is it consumed, as a snack or a dish? What (if any) variety of fish are particular to Ukraine?

Hi Ulysses I think Tartars used to be masters in drying meat and fish. The ability of conserving the food was one of factors enabling them to conquer Kievan Rus. Maybe Batukhan posting here from time to time could be helpful. I regret that he does not post now. His jocular posts were a good entertainment.

Wrong again Pollack you should read about the first fast food nation to find out how they ate on the rampage.

There are as many ways of preparing it, as they are fish eaten this way.

One of the dudes who I used to work with did this
He lined a steal box with salt, dropped in any fresh water fish covered it in salt, put a lid on it and left it in the sun.

Unlike the Pollack I ain't an expert on Ukraine, but in my experience which ain't worth a rams dags it's only eaten as an accompaniment to beer. Fish For Beer... Quite a few of the less tourist bars sell it in Kyiv. Well they did the last time I was there.

Go to the russian food store and buy some "Taran".

My old folks like to drink it down with Obolon Ukranian beer.
