White fish

Nowruz is the Persian New Year; that’s celebrated in Iran and also in many other central Asian countries.
Eating fish, a symbol of life, on the eve of Persian New Year, is traditional. Trying to find the best fish, preparing it is a tradition similar to an American’s hunt for picking the right turkey on Thanksgiving dinner.
Whitefish from the Caspian Sea region is among the preferred type of fish for the Nowruz feast.
The popularity of whitefish grew in other parts of the country since it became available with the improved means of transportation and refrigeration.
