Burbot Fish Soup (Ukha)
Delicious burbot ukha — made just for anglers and fish lovers! You can add fresh herbs to the soup if you like. If it tastes too thin, feel free to round it out with carrots. What makes this recipe fun is that the olives can be swapped for other vegetables, like zucchini or cucumber — the photo, in fact, shows a version with cucumber and carrots. You can also leave out the milt and liver. Burbot is the only member of the cod family that lives in freshwater rivers and lakes, which is why anglers prize it so highly, and burbot ukha is considered one of the tastiest. What I'm offering you, though, is a Mediterranean take on it — a lighter version I sometimes make for my wife. ;) For this recipe, it's best to use a burbot that has milt.

- Clean and gut the burbot, removing the liver and milt, and soak the fish. Then carefully peel off the skin. Scrape the meat off the bones and set it aside in a bowl. Put the tail, fins, bones, and head in a pot. Cover with cold water and simmer for about 20 minutes with the peppercorns, bay leaf, a whole onion, chopped parsley root, and a few pieces of carrot. Strain the broth and pour it into a clean pot. Grind the burbot meat through a meat grinder, mix it with the raw egg and flour, and season with salt and pepper. Bring the broth to a boil. Roll the fish mixture into a log about 1 1/4 inches thick and drop it into the boiling broth for 5 minutes. Lift it out with a slotted spoon, let it cool, and slice it into rounds. Cook the liver and milt in the broth. Three minutes before the soup is done, add the capers, halved olives, butter, and the burbot "dumplings."
