Similar to the čobanac, fiš is another dish traditionally prepared in a kettle over an open fire. Fiš, just like čobanac contains high amounts of powdered paprika, both sweet and hot.
The best fiš is prepared with at least two different sorts of freshwater fish such as carp, luce, perch or catfish. Usually, it is served with homemade pasta such as wide noodles.
Another characteristic similar to čobanac is that intense red color that comes from paprika and its spiced flavor.
In Slavonia, the freshwater fish is very much a common dish found on family tables. Many people like to also prepare it baked in the oven with potatoes and served with a crispy salad or even fried in deep oil with a bean salad.
There is one very nice quote (for every foodie to learn) that says: “Fish swims three times: in the water, in the kettle, and again in wine.”
