I suggest you cook a wonderful dish - fish soup from pike perch. There are many recipes for making fish soup, but this one is the simplest, since such fish soup is prepared by fishermen right on the shore.

Pike perch is a very tasty and healthy river predator. The meat of the pike perch is tender, there are few bones, the large pike perch have a little fat on the abdomen. Fish soup can also be prepared from small pike perch, today I propose to cook fish soup from the head, fins and tail of large pike perch.

First, I'll show you this handsome man. Weight - 2 kg.

First, wash the fish, clean and gut. Then cut off the tail and head, leaving some meat.

Carefully cut out the upper fin, it is very sharp. Cut off the lower fins as well.

Then you can fillet the fish, or you can simply cut it into pieces. I cut the fish across, then separated the fillets.

We got such pieces, we use them in another dish.

So, how to cook fish soup from pike perch? Potatoes, onions, salt, pepper, herbs and, of course, fresh pike perch - that's all we need. Since we cut out the fillets, we have the backbones with some meat, we will cook them too.

First, put the water on fire, bring it to a boil. While the water is boiling, clean and chop the potatoes coarsely.

If you don't like onions in your soup, you can put a whole onion in, and then throw it away when it gives its aroma to your ear. I cut the onion into small pieces.

We put potatoes and onions in boiling water and cook until half cooked, about 10 minutes, add peppercorns. Next, lay the fish, salt and cook for another 10 minutes over medium heat.

Then add vodka, salt, finely chopped dill, bay leaf. Cover with a lid and let the ear brew for 10 minutes. It is better to serve the fish soup with rye bread and, if desired, with a shot of vodka, because fish soup is like a fisherman! Vodka is not felt at all in the ear, and why it is added - there are several versions:

vodka destroys the smell of river fish, which not everyone likes
