Its large, tasty liver is also used. This fish often yields a generous portion of roe, which tastes best with blinis. In Finland roe is always sold pure, without any other substances being added. Yet another taste experience really worth trying in Finland is smoked fish, which has been a big item on the national menu for centuries. Almost any species of fish is suitable for smoking, but those most commonly used are Baltic herring, muikku and salmon.
Market stalls sell smoked fish all year round.
An unforgettable culinary experience is fresh-smoked flounder, bought straight from a boat and eaten outdoors.
