caption_attribution_description: English: A plate of fried vendace (Coregonus albula) with mashed potatoes, garlic sauce and cucumber relish, along with a glass of water, served at some Lappish restaurant so small it doesn't even have a name, somewhere in northwestern Lapland, Finland.
context_page_description: Coregonus albula, known as the vendace or as the European cisco, is a species of freshwater whitefish in the family Salmonidae. It is found in lakes in northern Europe, especially Finland, Lithuania, Sweden, Russia and Estonia, and in some lakes of Norway, the United Kingdom, northern Germany, and Poland. It is also found in diluted brackish water in the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia, both of which are in the Baltic Sea.
  The length of an adult is normally about 20 cm. The maximum age is about ten years.
  The vendace is traditionally the most important target of freshwater fisheries in parts of Fennoscandia and Russia. Vendace roe is considered a delicacy, which has been granted a PDO status in the Swedish Bothnian Bay archipelago.
