Estonia's Baltic coast and islands produce outstanding smoked fish — hot-smoked Baltic sprats (kilud), flounder, perch, and bream from small wooden smokehouses. Saaremaa Island is especially renowned for its cold-smoked and hot-smoked fish, sold directly from fishermen at village markets. Eaten with rye bread and pickles, smoked fish is a quintessential Estonian coastal experience — simple, fresh, and deeply local.
