About the dish

Šaran u rašljama is a traditional dish that is a specialty of the Croatian region of Baranja. It consists of a large carp that is placed in a divining rod and slowly cooked over a wood fire, giving it a unique smokiness and aroma. About ten minutes before the carp is fully cooked, it is sprinkled with salt and ground red paprika for extra flavor. It is recommended to serve the carp with spring onions, a potato salad, and a glass of white wine on the side.
