Fresh Fish

Since our first visit to Königsee, a pristine lake nestled in the Alps just south-east of Munich, one of our favorite meals has become roasted trout (geräucherte Forelle).  At Königsee, after taking a boat across the lake, one can buy one fish, accomanied by a slice of rye bread and butter, in a small wooden hut that belongs to the Fischmeister, who is the only person who is allowed to do any fishing on the lake.  Back in town, I buy my fish at the weekly farmers' market for about 3 Euros apiece.  Though caught in a different Bavarian lake, the fish are just as savory and served with a slice of bread and a fresh salad, they make a terrific supper.  Above is a picture of Carl's fish, halfway devoured.
