Sterlet Ukha (Fish Soup) with White Wine

The aroma of this dish makes you forget everything else! Ukha made with river fish is especially good cooked over a campfire. Sterlet ukha isn't dramatically different from other fish soups, but it's unquestionably delicious. If you manage to buy — or even catch — sterlet, it's worth not skimping on the other ingredients; they'll pay you back in full when the finished ukha lands on the table. Here's the recipe, written out in detail.

  • Every summer we drive out to the Volga a few times for the weekend, where a big group of us relaxes and fishes. Almost every time, sterlets turn up among the rest of the catch — and back home I usually turn them into sterlet ukha. Here's how. First, gut and clean the fish, keeping only the parts you want for the soup (head, tail, fins). Put those pieces in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings. Wash, trim, and slice the leek into rings as well, and peel the garlic and slice it thin. Rinse the herbs well and chop them finely. Add the herbs, vegetables, and salt to taste to the fish broth, then pour in the dry white wine. Bring everything to a boil and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. About 7–10 minutes before the ukha is done, add the bay leaf and black peppercorns.
