Fesikh is a traditional Egyptian dish made from fermented fish, typically mullet, that is sun-dried and cured with a mixture of salt and spices. Originating from the coastal regions of Egypt, it’s especially popular during the feast of Sham El-Nessim, celebrating spring. Despite its strong aroma and unique flavor, Fesikh is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, contributing to heart health.
