The crucian: How the fish of the year in Berlin-Lichtenberg was

Dem Krankenhaus bin ich entflohen, fast ebenso lange habe ich nichts mehr geschrieben. Könnte eine echte Schreibblockade sein. Nicht, dass ich nichts mehr erleben würde oder mir die Lust am Fotografieren und Bloggen vergangen wäre. Ich nehme es mir ja jedesmal vor, wenn I bought something interesting to eat, have seen. Then comes the moment where I will log into the blog, the SD card with photos is in the slot, I can see me at the pictures, putting stuff they manage to eat tasty format. And then: nothing! No urge to hinauszuposaunen my experiences in the world. But nobody wants to read here existentialist whining . That has the story of how I went to Lichtenberg and with a crucian carp, the fish of the year 2010 came back.

The fish of the year 2010: the crucian carp. This magnificent specimen Unfortunately, nothing more for
do the inventory of its kind.

Everything started when I was at a friend, an avowed Lichtenberger, bitterly complained about the poor supply of carp in this city. Because apparently they get easier in Berlin oysters and catfish Bouzigues than native freshwater fish. Prompt me, the Intermarket Jubiljenyi was in Lichtenberg recommended for fresh water creatures from the environment. Now I must admit that I am likely in the township of superlatives leads, however, made this prospect me mobile.

Do not worry about language barriers. All products carry Russian and German labels.

S-Bahn and tram to get into the area to the north of the Storkower road. In the grim November weather, the area looks almost disturbingly harsh. Former socialist apartment towers and reunification brachial arterial roads lined architecture, the wind whips the rain through the openings between the blocks. In between, a shopping center in a complex of charcoal gray granite. I'm at the top: the neon sign the Intermarket Jubiljenyi colorful lights in the monotony. I expected a fish shop and I landed in a Russian supermarket. Even the store sign dispensed Latin transcription, the Cyrillic alphabet dominate the labels of finished products. On the shelves: Russian sausage, Russian vodka, Russian cheese, Russian beer and sour pickled any kind given Pelmeni, dumplings and blini out of the freezer. When fresh vegetables is the wide and low to offer on cabbage. My first purchase: Smetana. Russian sour cream with 30 percent fat.

My first purchase in the Russian Market:
vodka, sour cream, Baltika beer to variety No. 2
and a fresh crucian carp.

Derber charm at the fish counter

Then I stand at the fish counter and in fact move there in an aquarium magnificent mirror carp make their rounds. In a second pool to wait another freshwater fish, including a sturgeon, to the end in cooking pot and pan.

But it is the crucian carp, the sight fascinated me spontaneously. These little carp fish I have ever seen in any fish counter, and here are the same two dozen piled into a neat mountain. Price: less than three € das Kilogramm! Offenbar nervt es die Verkäuferin, dass ich nun schon geschlagene 30 Sekunden ihre Ware anglotze. Mit Höflichkeiten hält sie sich erst gar nicht auf, als sie mit mit einem knappen "Ja?" und vorgeschobenen Kinn zum Kauf auffordert. Mein Lächeln bügelt sie mit einem unwilligen "Was wollen Sie?" ab. Alles klar, hier wird ver- und gekauft, ohne Brimbramborium und Gefühlsduselei. Freundlichkeit ist was für Weicheier.

Ich wähle eine Ein-Kilo-Karausche aus und frage unvorsichtiger Weise, ob sie das Tier - "bitte!" - ausnehmen könne. Ihr Blick lässt mich verstummen. Na gut, muss ich meinen Kauf wohl später selbst von seinen Innereien befreien. Doch anscheinend hat sie mir meinen anmaßenden Request already forgiven. For me the bag when she goes over the counter, and I thank you, I actually hear a "Bitta beautiful. Goodbye. Maybe she just wants me loshaben only.

vodka fill

still under the spell of my carp purchase I pass on Spirtousenregal and pick from 20 varieties of vodka estimated half a liter of Ukrainian "Blagodatj" and a bottle of St. Petersburg Baltika 2 in the basket. All together - cream, fresh fish, drink - costs less than eleven euro. A good price. The

- the way extremely fresh - crucian exclude was not a joke, but because you have to durch.Wenn people would eviscerate their fish fingers raw material itself regularly, would significantly eat less fish. Of this I am deeply convinced. Our little fish we were preparing for the mustard jacket . Care linked the recipe! Instead of five (!) Tablespoon salt, which would make the court, of course, unfit for human consumption, should be meant by the same amount of mustard. For this we drank a glass of the excellent vodka. The slightly sour cream fit perfectly with the way our homemade blini . She is very sweet and meltingly creamy on the tongue. Class. My next crucian carp from the Intermarket I Incidentally, filet, fry and then angry - insert - such as herring. For as well the fish tasted too, designed by the many small bones, the meal a bit exhausting. Maybe I get my Jubiljenyi even a carp. I just hope the lady does then at least the battles.
