Fish-Making Masterclass in Sevan
Having no access to the vast sea, Armenia is not deprived of seafood. Lake Sevan's endemic Ishkhan (trout) and its introduced Russian inhabitant, Sig, have become true pillars of the modern Armenian cuisine. Both varieties are enjoyed in different forms- cooked, steamed, barbequed, marinated, and even ground. We offer to show you how it's made and to let you experience the way it tastes.
Visit to the Sevanavank Monastery on Sevan Peninsula by Lake Sevan.
