Unique ALBANIAN FISH experience! (ROOFTILE COOKING!) @Shkodra Lake - ALBANIAN FOOD TOUR 

Okay for those of you who want to know the story of the Rozafa Castle goes like this The story tells about the initiative of three brothers who set down to build a castle. They worked all day, but the foundation walls fell down at night. They met a wise old man who seems to know the solution of the problem asking them if they were married. When the three brothers responded positively, the old man said "If you really want to finish the castle, you must swear never to tell your wives what I am going to tell you now. The wife who brings you your food tomorrow you must bury alive in the wall of the castle. Only then will the foundations stay put and last forever". The three brothers swore on besa(word of honor) to not speak with their wives of that happened. However the two eldest brothers broke their promise and quietly told their wives everything, while the honest youngest brother kept his besa and said nothing. The mother of the three brothers knew nothing of their agreement, and while the next afternoon at lunch time, she asked her daughters-in-law to bring lunch to the workers, two of them refused with an excuse. The brothers waited anxiously to see which wife was carrying the basket of food. It was Rozafa, the wife of the youngest brother, who left her younger son at home. Embittered, the youngest brother explained to her what the deal was, that she was to be sacrificed and buried in the wall of the castle so that they could finish building it, and she didn't protest but, worried about her infant son, she accepted being immured and made a request: "I have but one request to make. When you wall me in, leave a hole for my right eye, for my right hand, for my right foot and for my right breast. I have a small son. When he starts to cry, I will cheer him up with my right eye, I will comfort him with my right hand, I will put him to sleep with my right foot and wean him with my right breast. Let my breast turn to stone and the castle flourish. May my son become a great hero, ruler of the world." And that is why you might hear in a lot of cultures that the woman is the foundation of a house. That a house without a woman would literally fall apart because woman are what keeps a family together. (Idk if they are implying that most men can't take care of a house as good as a woman but anyways) in Albanian culture women were always seen as something sacred i think.

Thank you for visiting my city the LAGUS LABEATIS SCODRA ILLIRIA it is 4000 years old city from the first Illirian tribe The Labeatis where the lake take also the name LAGUS Labeatis

Wow, that lake is so beautiful! What a spectacular view to enjoy while dining on trout baked in clay tiles and carp in sour and spicy sauce!!!

Your videos are different to anyone else I have seen. You 2 are so addicted to nature and beauty around it. You 2 are great and thanks for showing those beautiful places.

Holy shit Albania looks amazing.

Wow the lac looks as huge ocean., the color is awesome ., it’s an heaven Albania alps is so fantastic., love the scenery Stay safe and blessed Much ❤️

An awesome place to have a meal of carp and trout overlooking that spectacularly beautiful lake. Haha..." ikan carp assam pedas" of Albania 👍👍 A fancy and unique way of cooking fish using a rooftile. Wonderful of you, Steve that your level of fish has greatly improved. Great job and well done Steve...👏👏 An incredible view from Rozafa Castle. Amazing drone shots... "Albania, you are very BEAUTIFUL !!!"

Good country side,cool water to swim,Good fish cooked,to be eaten,nice wonderfull views,wowww what more is there men

Spectacular water colour..worth the price of admission!!!! Great stuff guys!

I'm amazed that the rooftile doesn't leak.

My mouth was literally salivating watching this video. I have to go and eat something and then continue watching🤤😍

Very nice food n fish cooked on clay roof. Steve can dance on the roof. Fiddle on the roof! Amazing drone view and the winding road. I should like the weather there, beautiful rivers and lake...mountain range...all so fantastic.

Love this road trip.It’s wonderful how you can just stop and have a swim whenever there is water. That trout dish is a lot like our roasted fish stuffed with chilies,ground onions,turmeric and tamarind paste but ofc it’s roasted over open fire.Nothing fancy like roof tile roasting. Glad you remember our Asam Pedas.It’s my all time favorite fish dish. Steve’s voice scares that poor turtle into a sprint lol

"Asam pedas" in Albania, super awesome. Looks appetizing and guess its halal too. Unbeatable views of the lake. Thanks for sharing.

lovely from🇲🇾beautiful view👍🏻

Sincere couple, must learn others from you, u looks happy always, I wish you the best ! Enjoying ur trip...

Hey guys great video, going to Montenegro wow I hear that place is amazing. Can't wait to see your adventure there. "On the road again"

❤ you guys. I really enjoy all the Europe contents. 🔥

Brava Steve and Ivana!!! Keep safe, healthy and happy.

Beautiful castle

8:40 wow asam pedas, ill book my ticket asap 😋😆

Looks like you got another drone already.. 😁 The term you're looking for to describe the cut of carp is "steak". It's a slice of the fish. In the US the carp is an invasive species and have been taking over rivers in the South. When a speedboat approaches they leap up into the air and hit people. Americans don't like to eat carp because it has a lot of bones, but it's a Chinese delicacy. Most trout are river fish, but what they farm and sell as "salmon" in Norway is actually some sort of trout, which lives like a salmon (they migrate up rivers to spawn). All the Norwegian "salmon" they've been selling here these days has been relabeled "fjord trout" at the supermarket. That roof tile looks like the ones they put on the ridge of a roof.

Nice 😊

The carp is just cut as a cross section. Looking at the size, the entire fish would probably be 2-3 feet long!

So beautiful 🤩

I watched the full series, I belive u did the best coverage of albania really the best, I wish u went to golem where I visited by accident.

Hi there guys, wonderful country. I m going there with my family after watching your vlogs. From Vancouver to albania👌👍🏖🏖

oh.. you tried the rooftile fish.. The fishes looks delicious. I would prefer the firm meat carp, like I would prefer to have ikan tenggiri over ikan patin .

Wow, the carp reminds you of asam pedas in Malaysia? makes me want tp go there more. Love your videos

🦈 finish delicious 👌🇵🇰

Greetings from Afghanistan 🇦🇫❤

The trout reminds me of the Malaysian ikan bakar! Yumsss! Asam pedas and ikan bakar! 😁 Did you feel like you're half in Malaysia and half in Albania? 🤣

Aawww assam pedas in Malaysia.

Beautiful ending, I am sure you will make a recap episode right? How was the milk in Vermosh?

wassup i love ur videos

Go in Shiroka - Shkoder Lake .

Glad you enjoyed it. I don't know if you dipped the bread into the fish sauce. That's the best way to eat it and the bread is straight from the oven too. I was there in May and the friends I brought along kept ordering the corn bread. Also they have the molten cheese in a clay pot and many other things but there is so much you can eat 🙂

Greetings from Pakistan!

It's not a turtle, it's a tortoise.

I see that you've replacement for your drone. Same model like the old one? Fried bread? Is it similar to the Roti Keramat that you guys had in Malaysia?

Steve I love to watch you dance, but not that high up….I held my breath when you got close to the walll 😵‍💫

Nice video. What you keep refering to as “fried bread” is not actually bread. It is called petulla in albanian and is made of dough, similar to doughnut but sour not sweet.

hai saiful..you can eat fish now?Congratulations

Than you can go to Shëngjin that is in South of Shkodër
