Stroganina

Stroganina (Russian: строганина, literally "shavings"[1]) is a dish of the northern Russians and indigenous people of northern Arctic Siberia consisting of raw, thin, long-sliced frozen fish.

[1] Traditional stroganina is made with freshwater whitefish[3] salmonids[4] found in the Siberian Arctic waters such as nelma, muksun, chir, and omul.

Before the preparation of stroganina, strips of skin are cut from the back and abdomen from tail to head.

Thin slices of fish fillet cut along the body using a sharp knife.

[11] The geometry of the Yakutian knife is best suited to cut long slices that will form ribbon curls.
