Herring feast - a popular culinary tradition in Austria
around Ash Wednesday
After the wild celebrations on Shrove Monday and Shrove Tuesday, a herring feast on Ash Wednesday is just the thing. Here are our recommendations for delicious fish and herring feasts on Ash Wednesday in our pubs and restaurants:
Fresh fish from Lake Attersee
Fish can be prepared in a variety of ways, tastes good and is very healthy. And if it comes from local waters, it is also extremely sustainable.
Steckerlfisch on Lake Attersee
A traditional Steckerlfisch is usually a mackerel or a regional trout or char. For this tasty Upper Austrian speciality, the fish is marinated and grilled on a wooden stick ("Steckerl").
