Fried muikuk is an easy fish dish.
Muikuk and early potatoes are the best summer food. Roni Lehti
If the fish counter offers muikki, you should definitely buy them.
The price of fish has gone up, but the price of a kilo of muikku is mostly less than 10 euros.
If it is possible to choose, it is recommended to cook the dumplings in a large cast iron pan. Chef Risto Mikkola advises even more precisely that you should fry the muikku in a brick-based pan outside.
Sure, it can be hot inside, but the good thing about being outside is that the carts rise to the sky.
– Cooking outside is really nice, says Mikkola.
Fry the muffins in a combination of butter and oil. The oil tolerates higher heat, but can give a delicious taste.
