Patience
proves to be the key up and down this
tranquil Saône River Valley, where
fishing is not just a favourite pastime
but a true profession as well.
One of the Saône
River Valley's best-known specialities
consists of a dish of small fish deep-fried.
In all restaurants on the river's banks,
tradition calls for making such a dish
available on the menu. The type of fish
selected, whether it be bleak, loach,
barbel, carp, pike, walleye, eel, perch
or suckerfish, is fried right after the
catch without any preparation and then
savoured. The skin, in browning and becoming
crunchy, retains all its taste while the
flesh stays tender and moist.
Not to be overlooked
is the freshwater catfish (or sheatfish),
the largest freshwater fish. The current
record catch for this black predator
fish came in at 2.40 metres and over
80 kilograms. But bigger fish are still
out there! click
