Omul stroganina with honey-soy sauce

2 servings

15 minutes

The Siberian answer to Japanese sashimi is omul stroganina, a royal fish that lives exclusively in cold northern rivers. Deeply frozen fish with slightly thawed skin is cleaned with a sharp knife and shaved into thin slices. Moreover, small bones are cut together with the meat, so they are not felt in the mouth. The finished shavings are frozen again and served straight from the freezer. To simply emphasize the taste of the fish, coarse sea salt and pepper are enough. The classic fish sauces will also do - an aromatic, moderately sweet honey-soy mixture. In Yakutia, the sauce for stroganina is called "makalovo.
