Danube Delta Fish Cuisine
A Lipovean fishing-village food culture built on Danube fish — zacuscă, sturgeon soup, smoked mackerel, and Dobrogean plăcintă — centred on villages like Mila 23.
Overview
The Delta's food culture is built on its rivers: fish zacuscă, storceag sturgeon soup, fried pike, smoked Danube mackerel, sturgeon, Black Sea turbot, and Dobrogean plăcintă all trace back to the Lipovean fishing villages that still define the region's table. Mila 23 in particular is known for this style of cooking, making it a natural stop for food-led Delta travel.
