No, I never had it. Mongolians actually eat very little fish, despite the fact that their rivers and lakes are full of them. The stores all have varieties of canned fish, and we ate some smoked fish bought at a roadside stall, but otherwise it just wasn't offered.

Great post Chris! I can’t wait to travel to Mongolia one day!

Cheers, James! I can't wait to go back. It's truly one of the last unspoiled places left, and relatively untouristed.

It’s a place I have always wanted to visit. I had chance when I was as living in China , but it never panned out. I will make it there someday.
