Hiya Folks I have been digging out some of the stuff I had a while ago to help me identify some of the fish product in Bulgaria and though it may help some others, please note that the ingredients in these fish may vary between suppliers, and if you can add to this ideally with pics it would be very useful to others who like their Fish

Thank you netsniper this will be useful and it all looks yummy its good to see what others do with fish and to be honest I dont think we eat enough of it in the uk
sarah

Hiya Sarah this is just a short list of some of the prepared fish that is available in Bulgaria there is a hell of a lot more especially fresh fish which I will list here when I can find my lists which I have somewhere I just need to remember where they are but you are also right in the uk we don't eat as much fish as we should really

Hi it's true what Sarah say's we don't eat enough fish, the pictures and instructions, certainly make me feel hungry, thanks Netsniper.

I must admit to not been a big lover of fish to be honest, although I do love most shellfish (crab, lobster, gambas, etc.).

However, Jain loves the stuff!

Fortunately, we have a local restaurant that serves terrific food so if she's fancying a fish moment, we eat there.

3 large barbecued river trout is less than 10 leva which I thought was most reasonable.

(not that I tasted them, I was eating a huge plate of Hunters Style Liver!) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

3 Trout for 10 leva that's amazing I would be happy to pay a lot more than that in a good restaurant you don't know what your missing Chris I'll have to have a word with Jain and get you converted

Well said I do beleive I would be happy to pay more than that, I will as said aboove try and list some of the fresh fish that I have lists too keep checking back and if anyone else can add something here then lets have it

I adore fish and some of the above looks very good looking forward to more from you Mr netsniper

Ok I will start adding some fresh fish here and where possible I will also try to add any recipes that I came across in Bulgaria
