“Belozerski rybnik” (the Belozersk Fish Pie)

Traditional pie in the form of fish, and sometimes just large rectangular pies. Fish pie can be made as a pot pie or semi-opened. The traditional stuffing of the Belozersk fish pie is a pike perch, that can be easily caught in the Beloye Lake (White Lake). Very often inside the pie you can find a whole fish with head and bones, but there are many other recipes with either fish pieces or fish fillets.
