Excellent fish dishes, lots of people interested in this year's Fish Day

2021.07.13. Share

On July 10, 2021, the VII. Pinka Valley Fish Day Iron Cross. The event, organized by the Vas County Association of Sport Fishing Anglers' Associations, now has a tradition in the area, so this year many hundreds visited the area next to the Alpine Inn.

The day started with the fishing competition early in the morning, the participants gathered at half past seven to take their places by drawing lots. In three categories - child, hobby, competitor - the 44 entrants compared their knowledge in three places. The competition also took place at the Pinka backwater and the Vaskeresztes fishing lake, and the children tried to catch the most fish on the lake next to the Alpine Inn.

Among the little ones were those who had been fishing for many years, but there were also some who were just starting to get acquainted with this great sport, so the organizers - asking for permission from the other riders - also allowed some relief. After the feeding the race started, we could see great catches.

Unfortunately, there were those for whom the fish they had already caught dissolved the wheel before putting it in the bag, but that did not saddle anyone at all: after a little shaking their heads, they threw the hook again. After the fishing competitions, Decathlon staff waited for a fishing demonstration for lovers of fishing, where they could ask about the company’s products and fishing tricks.

Three teams entered the football cup this year, they competed against each other according to small court rules: each team played with everyone.

From nine o'clock the cooking competition also started, where the teams could start in the category of fish soup and other fish dishes. This year, a total of 20 teams started and offered their fish dishes. We could see a lot of returning teams and great food was prepared. There were those who made fish-stuffed cabbage or just rolled up a hanger with cheese, but there were those who tried to dazzle the jury with mushroom carp slices with dill sour cream.

There was also Thai fish soup, noodle noodles with fish onions and fish dumplings with mushroom sauce, carp slices wrapped in bacon with vegetable garnish, or just carp tomato sauce. The team, which won the most recent special award, made smoked catfish this year as well, but it has been experienced since last year's competition: the most delicious food is when beech wood spiced with juniper, allspice and thyme is added to the incense burner. Both traditional and less traditional fish soup was made, but in addition to the variety of dishes, all teams, without exception, were characterized by boundless fun.

Meals were prepared and those interested could choose a meal ticket after registration, which entitles them to a free tasting. There was a choice of fish soup, fried fish, fried bream, and catfish burgers, these dishes were very popular at the event, which exceeded a thousand visitors.

The central fishery led by László Laki is the Petőfi HE of Vasvár. made by his team and a populous friend of Tamás Christmas. 400 servings. In addition to the fish soup, the group of Tamás Christmas also made fried bream, but Tibor M onos and his helpers also distributed about 300 servings. Hundreds of portions of fried carp and African catfish fillets awaited those who wanted to taste Tivadar Konyher and his constant help. Miklós Bősz's catfish burgers could be tasted by the general public from half past four.

At half past two, the meals were placed on the jury table, which was evaluated by the five-member team. Dr. István Németh, Dr. Csaba Hende, Miklós Seregi, Kálmán Garas and Miklós Bősz were not in an easy position, as they had to decide which food was the best in terms of both sight and taste. After several re-tastings, the result was finally achieved, which had to be announced for a while.

During the stage, we could see the dance and singing production of the Iron Cross traditionalists, and the Nardai choir performed.

At the tables set up next to the Alpine Inn, the excellent wines of Mittl Winery were offered by winemaker Anita Mittlné Ódor , who told us: in this warmth, those who were most interested in tasting rosé wine.

At the end of the fish programs near the entrance, after closing the bream, Tibor Monos made great trout snacks, for which there was a huge demand. After tasting, many people asked about the trout habitat, of which he said: these fish love the undergrown places that abound in hiding places and like to stay under fallen trees, among driftwood. He talked about the most productive fishing for trout, the bait, and also how to prepare the most delicious snacks on the plate in the end.

The all-day event was characterized by familiarity, as the children had a bouncy castle, face painting, toys, a swing, a climbing frame and a sandpit at their disposal, so even the youngest could feel great. A balloon clown folded the balloons, then dazzled the kids with a real clown show who could be active contributors to the show, and then it was a great pleasure as the plethora of bubbles suddenly flooded the entire playground.

From half past five, young and old could take part in a real, frantic Apacuka concert, sing the well-known song of Fakanál with the band, among other things, or just “build” a small house together, one for Iron Cross and the other for the Ocean shore.

Many valuable gifts were found in the raffle, and the main prize - a Decathlon gift voucher worth HUF 50,000 - was also awarded. Those who could still take a breath were entertained by Timi Újvári and the Hot Stuff band.

We can safely say that Fish Day is the event where everyone really finds something to enjoy: sports, gastronomic experiences as well as great family recreation. We are already looking forward to the next.

The detailed results of the fishing competition can be viewed at the end of our article. 225 excellent photos taken at the event are available by clicking here. Thanks again to Georgina Nagy (LENDESIGN) for the excellent photos!
