white fish

White fish is one of the most famous and popular fish in northern Iran, caught from the Caspian Sea. Due to its delicate flavor, tender meat, and few bones, it holds a special place on Gilani and Mazandarani dining tables. This fish is often prepared fried, stuffed, or grilled, with its belly filled with northern aromatic herbs, garlic, walnuts, and pomegranate paste to create a unique and unforgettable taste.

White fish, especially when served alongside northern-style rice or herb rice (sabzi polo), represents one of the most authentic and exceptional combinations in Iranian cuisine. This dish is not only healthy and nutritious, but its pleasant aroma brings the essence of the northern nature straight to the table. If you’re looking for a truly authentic and distinctive taste from the heart of the sea and forest, stuffed white fish is a perfect choice at the best tourist restaurant in Rasht.
