Vobla

Vobla

Vobla (also spelt vobbla, wobla, or wobbla) is a Russian word for Caspian roach ("Rutilus rutilus caspicus"), and also a Russian food made of different kinds of fish (such as bream, perch, smelt, etc.) which has been salt-dried for several weeks. Vobla originated in Russia, and is a common Russian meal or "snack" that goes well with beer. It is popular in many Russian households and beer restaurants.

Vobla is generally eaten without sauces or side dishes. Many people like to eat their Vobla with a glass of beer, which lessens the salty taste of the fish.

Vobla could be considered as raw fish, but it is neither raw nor cooked, but rather salt-cured. It is soaked in brine for two weeks and then is thoroughly air-dried for another two, which in the end acts as a form of chemical cooking.

Names for Vobla in other languages: Kazakh: karakez; Azerbaijani: kulme, bobla; Turkmenian: - kasli akcapagy; Iranian: koolmeh; English: Caspian roach.
