chris pp Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 It's a freshwater fish, rather like pike if you know what that is. It is carnivorous and can grow very large, quite common in continental Europe. Personally I find that like Pike it relies on other ingredients to give it some taste but being a carnivore its flesh is clean tasting and not "muddy" like some other freshwater fish.Link: http://www.pikezander.co.uk/ Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Sandres are more like perch than like Pike. They originate from theDanube region and are quite common in calm rivers, large ponds andlakes all over France. People raise them in Brackish lagunas in theCamargue region.C'est très bon cuit au four avec du vin blanc et des oignons ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
