You can order an entire fish at a bar. ( I ate a couple pieces before I took a pic.) a British guy ate the head.
I get that the bar would rather you didn’t pee in the bushes, but the punishment looks extreme.
Here are a couple of the characters we met at this locals place that opened up for the World Cup. The guy on the right invited his wife and daughter over for a bit to speak some English and gave us some homemade cheese (havarti styles?) that he wants to start a business with
The guy directly back introduced me to a phrase that was roughly “you and I will drink until we are done”. If a Russian man ever says that to you…. run! Vodka started showing up unannounced. He deteriorated quickly and kept professing his love to Susannah ( behind my back ). Oh well. No harm done other than a nasty hangover
I don’t know where to fit this pic. The booth on the left is promoting assault weapons I think? You can grab one and do some target shooting. It’s also sponsoring the children’s bouncy pen adjacent. Just saying with all our gun problems in the US this felt weird.

Here’s the display of those fishies. About 10 in long each, dried. Probably gutted. Mike said they were like candy.
Technically I think he was challenging you to a vodka based duel to win the girl.
My having absolutely zero interest did not seem to matter to him.
Lucky for me that he was already half drunk when we got there!
Do you just chomp through all the fish guts and bones and everything when eating a slice of fish?
That assault rifles photo is so creepy.
I wasn’t there for that, so I’m not sure. But they are dried, I have a pic of a plate of them. I will add it to the post, since I can’t put a pic in comments. They were about 10 inches long each.
I think it’s also worth a mention, in their central district, pedestrian only area, there was a shop that sold nothing but alcohol, local candy, and dried horse meat.
Ugh! I’m still trying to forget the taste of the horse meat. The meaty part if the fish was candy like…outer skin bits were mostly tough.
