Fesikh

description Fesikh Overview

Fesikh is a traditional Egyptian preparation of salted, fermented grey mullet that is usually dried before serving. It is strongly associated with Sham el-Nessim, an Egyptian spring festival whose customs have roots in ancient celebrations. The dish is eaten as a preserved fish food, but inadequate preparation can allow harmful bacteria to grow, so its production and handling are treated as important food-safety concerns.
