We have a famous local lake - Lake Van. It's big and only can support one type of fish, because of it's very alkaline & sodium carbonate properties. Locally people eat the fish, the Pearl Mullet, although outside (and even inside) of Van, it's not considered a delicacy. We had some friends visit us and they were willing to take a chance and try it with Dan (he's eaten it a couple times with local friends).
The first step is to head down our street to the fish seller man with your over tray to buy the fish from him. Then you walk across the street to the bakery/large over and they HEAVILY salt it and stick it in the oven. Awhile later you head back to get your fish.
Then you eat it by picking out the bones, avoiding the head & skin. Needless to say there's not a lot of fish left after taking all that out. I, Lynn, did not participate in this event, since I don't really even like normal plain fish sticks! It's eaten with bread with lemon squeezed over it.
