Would you try this deadly fish?? There's a holiday here in Egypt which started over 4,500 years ago, and is still being celebrated today. On this day, Egyptians love to eat Fseekh, a fermented fish that has also been eaten for thousands of years. Today, I tried that fish. And let me tell you....

I grew up eating fesiekh like my mother. My father hated it. I remember when I was like 15 year old, my parents left home during Sham Elnessim, I had a guy who used to work for us, buy me 2 Stella beers. I had 2 fesiekh by myself with beer. Many years later, after moving to USA, It was almost impossible to find fesiekh in US. Couple of years ago, I decided to make my own fesiekh. I used Mackerel fish instead of Mullet fish. My Lebanese wife didn't like it. For me it was Dejavu again. Thanks for the video

I am done trying this, and I've heard from other foreigners who did have it "properly prepared" that they still hated it. I think I just fall into this category. Like I said, I already don't eat a lot of fish and don't like a lot of fish as it is. Fseekh is level 100 of eating fish, I'm a level 2.

Why do you try "fesikh" or salted fish? It is difficult for us Egyptians to bear. Some of us have been accustomed to eating it since childhood. It is not necessary for you to try it, and why does the store not clean it, prepare it, remove the forks, and clean it so that it is ready to eat? You can try smoked "renga fish" herring, it tastes good

@Gventures 4 месяца назад

Watch the video and you will see I tried ringa in this video too. The store didn't clean it for me maybe because I didn't ask them to, because I don't know how to ask that in Arabic. Anyways, it was an experience and made for a funny video 🤣 And ringa ain't bad

@edlove2290 4 месяца назад

I'm curious if you know how long it takes to get the smell off your hands or are you still waiting to find out?....probably the later. I think the oils from the lime or a lemon help....I almost fainted at 12:20 and the waive off that followed......best laugh in a while! ALSO, you had it back wards.....the tahini and condiments are more to cut the stink of the fiskh and the rings being smoke needs less. very little fiskh with the proper portion of bread to tahini makes it work. What you did is equivalent to taking a huge chunk of wasabi with a tiny piece sushi. A little goes a long way, and it must be cleaned and dress before digging in too. You got guts! full of stinky fish ! 😂

@sarhan5568 4 месяца назад

You should've buy a ready cut fseekh, it's much easier to eat, you are eating it the wrong way, this should made like Salad, but congratulations, you have officially became a true Egyptian 👍, you can survive over here.

@montu94 4 месяца назад

Hilariously, its eaten and loved by a lot of people in Scandinavia, Ice Land and Eastern Europe. I think the type of fish is different but its fermented and salted the same way. It even has the same smell and taste. I suppose Nords, Slavs and Egyptians are just built different.....

@ABCEG101 4 месяца назад

Oh no, sorry you had a bad experience, first time trying Fseekh. It's an acquired taste .. and smell:D It's row pickled fish, so of course the smell is strong. I also must say this is not the proper way to eat it especially the first time. Fseekh salad is usually the best way to start. I hope you have a better experience next time.❤

The hard part is getting the stench out of your clothes and if you did that at home, out of the walls and the furniture. My beloved late parents loved fiseek, but I wouldn’t allow that stuff in my house. The ringa is a little more palatable but I will pass on that too.

However, I still screw up the process or preparation of things sometimes, as clearly seen by the way I ate this fseekh 🤣 But I really appreciate you recognizing that and your kinds words. Much love from your motherland, Egypt! ❤

I don't think they eat it like that. I see them clean it away from the dining table and throw the guts add plenty of oil and squeeze lemons and they eat very tiny fish bites with a whole lot of bread and oil wearing gloves too

@Gventures 4 месяца назад

Yeah there have been quite a few comments saying the fish needed to be cleaned, etc. maybe you already noticed that. But as you can see in the video, all I had was a plastic knife 🤣 Sucked on a lemon for dear life too, but, also like I said in the video, no amount of lemons or vegetables could save this fish. It's horrible 🤣

Ringa is easier to start with just a smoked herring & actually most of the ringa in Egypt is imported from other countries as Netherlands but in general it can be eaten after some warming on the stove then add some Tehini or vegetable oil & lemon juice, Tomatoes, green onions, & lettuce

@martin72zh 4 месяца назад

You are doing real good content. I lived for many years in Egypt, now back in Switzerland. Eating a fisich I would never do. So many people died in so many years. I remember 1991. Is this delicious? I love fish, however not like that. You should once go to Portasid Street. There you get a hell of a smell of fish 🙂 By the way, I collected once a fish poisoning from the Italian Club. I ended up in the cleopatra hospital.

@Gventures 4 месяца назад

No, if you ask my opinion, it was horrid 🤣 But like I said in the video, I don't eat much fish to begin with, so this was level 100 for a beginner like me 😅

Lol oh no no no. I wish I would have done it more properly the first time, but that is the last time I am trying fseekh. No matter how differently it is done, I know I would still hate it. I don't eat or like much fish, and fseekh is just too much for me

Is this some shitty kind of way to get someone to watch that channel? Because I have no idea what you're talking about, and you have not given any reference as to why this "Blackman Da Traveller" supposedly mentioned me (which I highly doubt he did, never heard of him). So I'm just not going to look at any of this stuff you mentioned, unless you give me more specifics.
