Fish soup 
 

Fish soup is the traditional dish of the Danube region – from Vidin, through Tutrakan and Silistra. Its secret is the freshly caught Danube fish with the addition of traditional vegetables for the region. Several types of fish are usually used for the broth and the soup is prepared on an open fire.

Some places add spicy seasonings and chilli peppers and the dish is known as Danube/Vlashka salamura or pryasol.
