Easter brunch and Easter dinner

Spinach, radishes, rhubarb, lamb's lettuce and mushrooms as well as wild garlic, buckhorn and dandelion are available to everyone in spring in this country.

If you decide on fish, you should definitely pay attention to sufficient seals and the origin of the goods. The best choices would then be carp and catfish, which can be fished in abundance in local freshwater waters. Farmed salmon, on the other hand, are not recommended because farming them requires too much energy. You can find detailed information about many other fish species on the WWF Fish List.
