Fried Vendace in a Pan – Recipe

🇫🇮 Wild Food from Finland – A Taste You’ll Never Forget
🔥 Fried Vendace in a Pan: A Classic Fish Dish from the North

Finland is a wild food paradise. From our clean forests and pristine lakes come flavors that define Finnish culinary identity: wild berries, mushrooms, reindeer, game – and of course, freshwater fish.

🎣 One of the most beloved traditional fish dishes in Finland is pan-fried vendace (in Finnish: muikku). Caught from clean northern lakes, these small, silver fish are lightly coated in rye flour and crisped to perfection in a pan – traditionally served with creamy mashed potatoes and tartar sauce.

This is everyday luxury straight from Arctic nature, and something you must try on your next visit to Finland!


🍽️ Fried Vendace in a Pan – Recipe
Ingredients: This is one recipe
🔹 500 g cleaned vendace (600 g uncleaned)
🔹 1 dl rye flour
🔹 0.5 dl breadcrumbs
🔹 1 tsp salt (and a touch of white pepper if you like)
🔹 Butter and rapeseed oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Mix rye flour, breadcrumbs, and salt.

  2. Coat the fish evenly in the mixture.

  3. Heat a mix of butter and oil in a pan.

  4. Fry vendace in small batches – about 2 minutes per side – until golden and crisp.

  5. Serve hot with mashed potatoes and tartar sauce. 💛


✨ This is more than a dish – it’s a bite of Finland’s pure nature and culture.
