Kalakukko
Another traditional Finnish fish dish, hailing from the Savonia region, is kalakukko – a dish made with succulent chunks of fish covered in bread to make a gigantic pastry. Finns enjoy this dish because it allows them to carry a complete lunch in one container — no need for side dishes! The best place to get excellent kalakukko is in Kuopio, the capital city of Savonia, where there are tons of bakeries specializing in kalakukko, as well as a yearly kalakukko bake off!
