Fish

Georgians normally prefer river fish due to the abundance of streams and river that exist geographically within the country. Trout and salmon are the preferred river fish. There are lake fish but they are indigenous to the area and we best leave that to the Georgians at home. From the Black Sea flat fish is also a choice and from the Caspian sturgeon is a must.
