📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Riblja čorba means 'fish soup,' made along Montenegro's coast and around Lake Skadar. White fish, onion, carrot, and potato are simmered with tomato and paprika, with a little rice for body. Every family uses different fish, and it's made with both sea and lake fish.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Montenegrin fishing village home, a pot of red soup steams as small boats line the sea outside the window.
