[Sca-cooks] Tirrikh, Stockfish, Progress

[David Friedman]

Today I stopped by a local Slavic Market in my search for varieties of 
dried fish. One that they had was labeled "Russian Stockfish." Since I 
already have two varieties of dried fish from the local Chinese 
supermarket to experiment with I didn't buy any, but I did photograph 
the package. Careful inspection of the picture plus a little web 
searching informed me that the fish was Caspian Roach, which is a 
cyprinid—as is pearl mullet aka tirrikh. It's salted, so not stockfish 
in the strong sense.

So I now have a source for something as close to tirrikh as I am likely 
to find outside of Turkey.
