hello from america and apologies for the english

i was in pärnu and tallinn for a few days back in july and found myself in the hanseatic festival in pärnu where i tried this really good dish. i wanted to try a local dish from each country i visited and i asked one of the vendors at the festival what to have. she recommended the dish in the pic attached which is a baked potato with some fish and sauce inside of it. i tried reading the sign with the name of the dish but every time i try and look it up i can’t find it anywhere on the internet. i really enjoyed it and would love to have it again but cant find a recipe anywhere or even what kind of fish it was. if anyone has any leads as to what i ate was that would be very helpful. i copied it down as lõkkekartul suitsulatikaga, i know lõkkekartul is baked potato of some kind but the second word i can’t figure out at all. thanks in advance!

  1. Ash potato with smoked bream + soure cream or majo. Any smoked fish will do, add grind cheese to level up.

  2. Should be smoked bream in a coal roasted/charred potato, dunno about the sauce.

  3. lõkkekartul is specifically potato baked in the coals of a fire, suitsu is smoked and latikas is common bream.

  4. Suitsulatikas means smoked common bream, I’m not sure about how available it is in the US, but here it’s pretty common.

  5. Lõkkekartul is a potato baked in a campfire (on the coals) and suitsulatikas is smoked bream.
