If you are looking for a healthy spread, you will love this fish paprikash recipe. After making, you can either eat it within 5 days or pasteurize it and keep it in the fridge for up to 6 months.
The specific flavor of fish and onion combined with soft rice and tomato paste make a perfect spread. I love fish paprikash, especially when served on fresh bread with a slice of tomato.

Tips For Making Fish Paprikash
Use Any Fish You Want.
I usually make fish paprikash from trouts. You can also use smoked mackerel or any other kind of fish. Make sure you remove all the bones from the fish though.
Keep It In The Clean Jars.
Put to the jars as much fish paprikash as possible. Don’t leave any free spaces.
Serve It With Veggies.
Fish paprikash tastes best when served with veggies, such as:
- tomato
- cucumber
- pickles
- sprouts
- salad
- radish
