Thought I’d ask this because I want to discover more foods from across the world

(Also I shouldn’t have to say this to americans, please state where you are from and state where you are from without acronyms or shortened names because I’ve seen US Defaultism on lemmy and not all of us are going to know your acronyms considering we’re global users)

    Finland: only had it a couple of times 'cause it’s expensive, and takes long and is tedious to make, but loimulohi (fire salmon). It’s salmon nailed to a plank and then heated up by an open fire. Very tasty.

    Pretty much any big enough fish can be made like that, but I’ve only had salmon.

      In Japan, we usually trade that for skewers and have them staked in the sand around a fire, rotating them every now and again

      I imagine there is something like this in a lot of languages, but it’s always amused me that Bulgogi (Korean BBQ beef/pork) translates literally to “fire meat”

      I’m happy to learn Finns have a similar word!

      here in the PNW (Pacific North West) of North America, we have lots of different kinds of salmon but wood fired salmon on a cedar plank (like a roofing shingle) is food fit for the gods

      the natives have done it for ions and it is something you have to try if you like that fire salmon

      also natives make salmon candy, which is dried salmon belly, dude its the best jerky ever made
