Tandırda Van Balığı

The pearl mullet, also called the Van fish (Van Balığı) and found only in Lake Van (Van Gölü), is cleaned, salted, and left to drain on the sieve. After being coated in a mixture of water, flour and salt, fish are put into the tandoor oven by their tails and cooked. The cooked fish is served with green onions and ayran.
