A traditional fish soup is cooked following the strict rules: the fish must be fresh and caught on site, only certain herbs are used for flavouring the soup, and it is not recommended for eaters to add even sour cream. A real fish soup should only be cooked on a bonfire and finished with a ritual, from which the soup becomes transparent and gets the subtle taste – the smouldering willow branch is taken from the bonfire and dipped into the soup.
