Moskalik (fish)
In Polish cuisine, moskalik, usually plural (e.g., in sales), moskaliki is a very small pickled herring (marinated or salted after entrails and head removed).[1][2]
Historically, "moskalik" was associated with poor man's food.[3]
Moskaliki are very young and small fishes of size up to 5 inches, which are used in culinary as wholes, only with entrails and head removed. Because of this, a small time is required for marinating. The bones soften enough, eliminating the danger of choking, making moskaliki a convenient party snack. They have less of the taste of a sea fish. Due to their young age, they accumulate less mercury, a recent danger of seafood.[4]
