Kalakukko
Kalakukko is a traditional food from Finnish region of
Savo made from fish baked inside a loaf of bread. Kalakukko is especially
popular in Kuopio.
Traditionally kalakukko is prepared with rye flour
although wheat is often added to make the dough more pliable. The filling
consists of fish, pork and bacon and is seasoned with salt. After being baked
for several hours, traditionally in a masonry oven. Kalakukko looks much like a
large loaf of rye bread . If prepared correctly bones of fish soften and the
meat and fish juices cook thoroughly inside the bread this results in a most
filling . Traditionally the fish used in kalakukko is either vendace or
European perch.
Kuopio is home to many kalakukko bakeries. The city
also hosts an annual kalakukko baking contest.
