Tench

NAME: Tench

LATIN NAME: Tinca tinca

FISHING AREA: caught in inland waters

PROTECTIVE SIZE: up to 25 cm

PROTECTIVE PERIOD: no protective period

A beautiful fish from the Cyprinidae family. The meat has a rather characteristic aftertaste for fish from this family, which can be easily dealt with by freezing the gutted fish for a few days. It is classified as medium-fatty fish. Large tench, 2-3 kilograms, is much fatter, and therefore slightly tastier. Smaller tench can be ground together with bones and made into meatballs or fish cutlets. It tastes good both traditionally fried, marinated in vinegar marinade, as well as in jelly or cream.
