Get to know the traditional fish cuisine in the Traunsee-Almtal region.
Fish in love in the Salzkammergut region "We are the ambassadors of the Salzkammergut fish!" is the credo of the Salzkammergut fish restaurants. Twenty-one committed restaurateurs have dedicated themselves entirely to preparing fish specialities from the crystal-clear waters of the Salzkammergut. Reinanken, char, trout & Co thrive particularly well here, because all 78 lakes of the Salzkammergut have drinking water quality. Fish from the Salzkammergut lakes are not only extremely tasty and healthy, but also the culinary speciality of the region.

traditional "Stangöfisch"
Stanglfisch- Fingerfood in the Salzkammergut region
The "Stangöfisch" from Lake Traunsee, almost a trademark of the Salzkammergut. Steckerlfish are skewered on 50-60 cm long plugs made of soft wood, "Stangöfische", on the other hand, are skewered on small "Staberln" twice the thickness of a match. Traditionally, smaller fish species, such as trout, salmon trout, whitefish or Reinanken, are used as "Steckerlfische".
For the preparation of "Stangöfischen", one almost exclusively spears locally typical Riedlinge or small chars. Steckerl fish are cupped, Staberl fish are incised. Both are rubbed with salt and an often secret spice mixture and then grilled over an open fire until crispy. The smoke from the charcoal also smokes the fish, giving the meat an intensely aromatic flavour.
