📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Lake Skadar is the largest lake in the Balkans, straddling the Montenegro–Albania border. In lakeside villages carp is a traditional ingredient, and baking it with prunes (dried plums), apples, and onion is a signature method. The sweet-tart prunes bring out the flavor of the carp.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a restaurant in a village on Lake Skadar, fish baked with prunes and apples is served on a platter against a lake dotted with lotus leaves.
