Ukha with millet and vodka

Ukha with millet and vodka is a dish that just by its name evokes emotions and generates heated debates. “Millet in fish soup? And I always put only pearl barley! "..." The fish soup should only be cooked over the fire! "..." And why is vodka, vodka ?! " We really like the version offered here! Firstly, pike is a rather tender fish, and the broth from it turns out to be rich. Secondly, millet gives the soup the necessary thickness and satiety. And that same vodka makes the fish soup taste more expressive and rich. In addition, this alcoholic drink mutes the smell of mud, which is why many people dislike pike. In general, it is definitely worth cooking fish soup with millet and vodka, if only for the sake of a gastronomic experiment!
