And why fish plakia on Annunciation?

This is a special day - the Virgin Mary receives from the Archangel Gabriel the good news that she has been chosen to give birth to the Son of God. The people believe that from now on, goodness will follow one after another. This hope inspires people and, despite the strict fast, the church allows fish to be eaten.

The recipe for fish plakia is traditional, old, and widely known. The fish can be any kind - sea bass, hake, mullet, mackerel, and even sprat.
