Estonia has a rich culinary heritage that dates back to the Middle Ages. One of their most beloved dishes is Hautatud Kala, which translates to “honeyed fish.” This dish is popular in both rural and urban areas throughout Estonia, and it features a variety of fresh fish caught from rivers or lakes that are then boiled in a blend of honey, herbs, and spices.

pikkpoiss
