Fisher’s paste – the delight of taste buds

Tweet

The sweet sister of fish spread, the fisher’s paste is often eaten in the Delta, during the summer and winter, day and night, with or without the wife. The Danube and Delta fishermen have prepared it for the first time, when spending a night away from home, between reed and willow trees, having available only the all-mighty water.

Locally-known as ‘mashed fish’ or ‘fish cream’, this dish is so simple to make that even a child could prepare it as a game. Healthy, tasty and very nutritious, it can be prepared as an appetizer in dressy dinners during the holidays or festivities or greedily spread on a thick slice of bread on gloomy mornings.
