FETtyypit

FETtyypit is a Finnish term that generally refers to a variety of different types of fish, often those considered to be common or abundant. The specific species that fall under this designation can vary depending on the region and context within Finland. It is not a strict scientific classification but rather a colloquial grouping.

In many contexts, FETtyypit might include popular freshwater fish such as perch (ahven), pike (hauen), and zander (kuha). In coastal areas, the term could also encompass certain marine species like herring (silli) or Baltic herring (silakka). The usage often implies fish that are readily available and frequently caught by anglers or commercially harvested.

The term can sometimes be used to describe fish that are less desirable or considered less of a delicacy compared to more prized species. However, this is not always the case, and many fish commonly referred to as FETtyypit are highly valued for their taste and are staples in Finnish cuisine. Recipes featuring these fish are widespread throughout the country. The exact meaning can also depend on the speaker's individual understanding or local dialect.
