Gifts of the Caspian Sea for lunch

After a walk around the bazaar, a trip to the vicinity of Baku awaits you. It is here that for hundreds of years hardworking farmers have been cultivating the very cucumbers, tomatoes, figs and grapes that then go to the shelves.

You will see the most interesting local attractions. There is a real Zoroastrian temple Ateshgah and a burning mountain Yanardag among them. Do you know that some of Baku people still honor pagan traditions? You will learn about why and how this happens during a walk.

You only teased your appetite in the bazaar, so it is time to have lunch! Lunch will be held in one fishing village of fish dishes, which are highly appreciated by all gourmets of Baku.

The main trump cards of this place are fish skewers with spices and dishes in pomegranate and cornel sauce with barberry and tomatoes from the gifts of the Caspian Sea - the best Caspian fish (bersh, omul, sturgeon, beluga, and mullet). The chef says he uses dozens of spices in the marinade and keeps this unique formula a closely guarded secret.

Dinner: lamb and real Azerbaijani pilaf
