Catfish in kindzmari

4 servings

35 minutes

Dzmari means "vinegar", and kin means "cilantro". Catfish is a rather strange fish, a bit cottony. When it is cooked poorly, it feels like you are chewing a washcloth. But if you cook catfish correctly, it turns out very tasty. Catfish in kindzmari is exactly that case.
