It is important to mention that local chefs cook seafood in a way that doesn’t interfere with the natural taste and texture. Fish and seafood can be boiled, baked or stewed but rarely roasted, especially in the national cuisine restaurants. Perhaps, herring is the only exception – local people like herring baked with green beans and onion. Salted herring remains one of the most famous traditional dishes. It is often served with boiled potatoes as a garnish. Lettuce is also a popular garnish, especially paired with baked fish.
Cheese is one more popular national treat. Many clients of the national cuisine restaurants prefer to order fragrant cheese fondue as a dessert. Despite the fact that local cheese makers produce not that many varieties of the product, each of them tastes amazing and deserves praise. The reason for that is simple – many cheese makers use old recipes that have been unchanged for centuries. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
