Harcsapaprikás is a traditional fish paprikash originating from Hungary. The dish is usually made with a combination of catfish, sour cream, sweet paprika powder, flour, tomatoes, shallots, butter, green peppers, salt, and black pepper. The fish is cut into chunks, seasoned with salt and pepper, coated in paprika and flour, and then shortly fried.

The shallots and green peppers are sautéed in a pot, and then covered with water and tomatoes. After a few minutes of cooking, paprika, flour, and fish are added to the pot, and sour cream is mixed in a few minutes before serving the stew. Harcsapaprikás is often served with a mixture of pasta, bacon, sour cream, and cheese on the side.
