Remember that this is highly treasured recipe. I got it from people in the factory who make treska in Kosice (Eastern Slovakia). It is the best and extraordinary sour-fish salad and whoever tastes it is absolutely excited about it. Please follow the procedure precisely.
Here we go:
What you need:
2 x 454 grams of frozen fish (solet, or other kind of fish)
2 onions
1 teaspoon of mustard
2 carrots
2 glasses of vinegar
1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 kg of mayonnaise
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon of whole black pepper
Procedure:
1. take fish and put it to the boiling water with bay leaves, 1
glass of vinegar and whole pepper
2. after fish is cooked, appr. 25 minutes, remove the fish and
place it into the bowl
3. trash the fish into small pieces with two forks, must be small
pieces, do not use meat processor
4. chop onions to small pieces, very small
5. peel carrots and put them in the processor, beat to small
pieces
6. put everything (except the bayleaves and whole pepper) to the
bowl with fish and mix well
Very important (and this is basically
secret):
Mixture must stay in cold place for at least 12 hours, usually
overnight. Next day, taste it and if neccessary add some vinegar,
or salt
Must be served cold with bread, and if you like it hot peppers.
