Pelikieli

Pelikieli is a traditional Finnish dish that translates to "fish head" in English. It is a popular dish in Finland, particularly in the northern regions, where fish is a staple of the diet. The dish is made from the head of a fish, typically a pike or perch, which is cleaned and prepared with various ingredients. The fish head is often boiled or poached until tender, then seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes other spices. It is typically served with boiled potatoes and lingonberry jam, which complements the rich, savory flavor of the fish head. Pelikieli is often considered a hearty and comforting dish, reflecting the rustic and traditional nature of Finnish cuisine. Despite its unconventional appearance, it is widely enjoyed for its unique taste and texture.
