This is typical Slavonian meal. Use only freshwater fish. It is important to mix various fish, and it is important to put a lot of hot paprika in it. These is one of the ways of making Fish paprikash, and believe me there are almost 1 million ways or, better, all adult Slovenians have their own way of making �Fish�, as they call it.
