Asp Khe
Description
The appetizer is prepared quickly and simply. It is best to thoroughly marinate the raw flesh of zander for 6–8 hours so that it acquires an excellent taste and aroma. Do not rush to serve the dish to the table right away; let it absorb the garlic aroma and the flavor of the spices. On the second day, it will taste even better. Serve with greens and sauce.
