Pie with pink salmon. Recipe

Unfortunately, the fish today is not present on the table in the amount (and quality), as it was before. Fish in Russia used from time immemorial. Even historians who describe the way of life and traditions of the Slavs at the earliest stages of the Russian state's formation, cite numerous evidences that the fish was a traditional dish on the Russian table.

Since then, a lot of time has passed, interest in fish dishes has increased and somewhat decreased, as, for example, in our days. And there are several reasons for this.
Firstly, the population does not have confidence in supermarkets supplying fish to our table. Any contamination of water affects its quality, because the fish is able to absorb both lead and even arsenic. Secondly, the increase in the number of people also affects the fact that fish resources are depleted, although part of this problem is solved by artificial reservoirs, where fish are bred on an industrial scale.
