Szegedi tükörponty

Szegedi tükörponty refers to Hungarian farmed live Szeged mirror carp and its filleted and cleaned flesh. This fish lives in a system of ponds in the Szeged area and eats worms, insect larvae, plankton, wheat, and maize. It is sold when it reaches its third summer after hatching, and the weight is between 1800 and 2400 grams.

The flesh is flaky, flavorful, and reddish, with a fresh aroma. That is a result of the saline soil on which the fish ponds have been built, and it ensures optimal oxygen supply. Once filleted, Szegedi tükörponty is quite popular with the hospitality sector and consumers in the area.
