SEA OF FOOD We invite you to cruise through the most sophisticated dishes, whose main ingredients are fish and seafood. Our journey will start with traditional Finnish and Estonian appetizers and end with Russian and Croatian specialties. All dishes will surely provide you with an unforgettable visual experience. â—€ Graavilohi, Finland
Graavilohi is a traditional Scandinavian dish, usually served as a snack for dark bread or young potatoes. It owes its name, which literally means 'salmon from a hole', to the medieval process of preparing this dish. It consisted of burying gutted pieces of salmon rubbed with salt, sugar and dill in the sand for at least three days. Nowadays the fermentation process takes place in the fridge, so that the pieces are no longer as dry as they used to be.
Rosoje, Estonia We all love mayonnaise salads. Although we try to avoid them as long as possible because we care about the line, it is hard to resist the unique taste. One such temptation is rosoje - a traditional Estonian fuchsia-coloured salad. It is made from boiled beets and potatoes, onions, pickled cucumbers and pickled herrings or meat. It should be noted that some Estonians claim that if the salad does not contain herring, it is not a real rosoje. Dressing is made from mayonnaise and sour cream, sometimes mustard, horseradish and fresh herbs.
