Sugudai
Description
For the appetizer "Suguday," northern fish varieties are usually used. However, in our region you won't find them often, so I make it with white amur, silver carp, or pike. The fish is ready after 15 minutes of marinating, but it keeps well in the refrigerator for longer without losing its flavor. It can be served warm or chilled.
