Assorted Fish Solianka
Description
A hearty first course. Here is a simple recipe for preparing mixed fish solyanka. You can use either raw or smoked fish, for example: cod, pink salmon, pollock, or perch. I also always add king prawns, which give the soup new flavor dimensions. Good luck! The soup is ready to serve.
