Advice

Keep the simmer gentle once the fish goes in—rolling boils break the fillets and cloud the broth.

Why it works

Bloomed paprika unlocks fat-soluble aromas; tomato adds body and color; a splash of acid at the end sharpens flavors and balances the rich fish stock.

Twist

Mixed fish: Combine carp with pike or perch for layered flavor.

Spicy Bačka: Add 1 tsp more hot paprika and a minced fresh chili.

No-tomato: Skip passata and use more paprika for a clear, brick-red broth.

Status

Steam, spice, and river vibes—Riblja Čorba that tastes like a Danube tavern. #grannyzen #balkansoup 🐟🍲
