Stroganina is the first traditional dish that will be offered you to try in Yakutia in winter. It is thin long slices of frozen fresh Arctic river fishes, i.e. broad whitefishes, whitefishes, and white salmons.
The best stroganina is made of one-time-frozen fresh Arctic river fishes. Pieces must be long, wide and thin, and they must be served with salt and black pepper powder. The dish might be decorated with wild red whortleberries and some greens.
What is the taste? Hard to explain. It is soft, fresh, and frosty… The best stroganina is made in winter only.
