Add to favorites

Kalya is an old Russian soup, the ancestor of rassolnik, can be either fish or meat. The first mentions of this soup date back to the 16th–17th centuries. Back then, it was prepared from fatty fish with cucumber brine and pressed and cut . We have prepared an adapted version of kalya — with salmon and pike caviar. It is ideal for fasting days, when fish is allowed.
