About this dish

Fisherman's soup or halászlé is a hot, spicy paprika-based fish soup. A folk item of Hungarian cuisine, it is a bright-red hot dish prepared with generous amounts of hot paprika and carp or mixed river fish. It is native to the Pannonian Plain, particularly the Danube and Tisza river regions. It is also a popular dish among Danube Swabians and their descendants, known as Karpfensuppe. In Croatia, it is commonly served in the regions of Slavonia and Baranya, where it is called riblji paprikaš, fiš or fiš paprikaš. With its ample use of hot paprika and, often, hot peppers, halászlé is one of the spiciest dishes native to the European continent.
