  • In Finland you barely need to bother with meat, because nearly all Finnish cooking centers on fish — it's the heart of the table. Fish gets baked, fried, smoked, grilled, simmered in milk, turned into soups and mousses, and worked into countless appetizers and salads. So when you feel like treating yourself to something special, reach for a recipe built around fish, and fish alone. Get ready, food lovers! Gather the ingredients listed below, roll up your sleeves, and let's get started. On today's menu: Finnish-style mackerel fricassee. Cut the mackerel fillet into small pieces, cover with a little water, and poach. A bit earlier, set the carrot, onion, and celery root to cook separately — so, as you've gathered, you'll have two broths going: vegetable and fish. Combine the two broths with the butter and flour to make the sauce, and don't forget to season it with salt and pepper. Arrange the fish on a plate or platter, garnish it with the cooked vegetables, spoon the sauce generously over everything, and scatter plenty of chopped parsley on top. It's nice with a side — mashed potatoes, or boiled or fried potatoes, or whatever you prefer, your call! Enjoy!
