Who says it always has to be salmon? Although the fine char comes from sweet waters, it goes just as well with a hearty pickling and provides a particularly high magnesium content. A clear plus for good nerve and muscle function!

If you don't get char, you can easily take salmon trout or trout fillets. The main thing is that the skin is still on.
