Fesikh

Fesikh is a popular Egyptian dish consisting of dried, fermented, and salted gray mullet. The fish is dried in the sun by a specialist called a fasakhani. If prepared incorrectly, the dish can cause poisoning, so it is traditionally stored in firmly closed glass jars.

Fesikh is served during the Sham-El-Nessim festival, accompanied by finely chopped onions, lemon wedges, and Egyptian bread.
