Stopped by a fish store here in Poland

We went on a day trip to a town called Mikolajki (pronounced meeko why key) and I entered a shop that sold fish just for the fun of it.


Here is part of the menu from the restaurant we ate at so that you can see the names of the fish.








And here are the various species:

Thanks Blanca!

Looks like they like smoked fish there.

That all looks good! I'm smoking some salmon right now.

Our Baba would smoke Eel, that Dedo caught in the canals of Indiana.

They were "Bohunks" from around that region.

"Bohunks" - I haven't heard that term in ages. Bohemian + Hungarian?

and I never heard the term bohunks before!

Baba means an older woman in Polish and I was once called a Baba Yaga by a woman who was carrying something heavy and she thought I was taking too long to get out of her way! Old Hag LOL

Around the south side of Chicago, it was one of the nicer terms used to describe Gypsies.
Dedo was a "finger", he would pick your pocket and hand you back your stuff. Amazing card tricks too.

Keep your head on a swivel Blanca, that's were he learned it all.

:o Thanks for that note of advice. No one told me to abreojos in Barcelona and we lost my ipad in that ordeal.
