Salona ( Sweet and Sour Fish)
Per serving
From a community cookbook. Submitted by Susan Cohen. I've never heard of Salona before and there weren't any other recipes by that name here. * I found in reading a book called Jewish Cookery from Boston to Baghdad, by Malvina W. Liebman, "that among places to which Jews fled the from Spain, in the 15th century, was Salonica, then under Turkish rule. Some of the refugees founded small towns in Turkey to which they gave Spanish names and where they maintained the old customs and food habits".
