Many people, especially fishermen, regard the preparation of fish soup somewhat of a cult. Although the recipe is basically simple, the "right" ratio of spices, onion, fish (especially, its quality and variety) and water, as well as timing, affect the soup taste significantly. Many dedicated fishermen keep their recipe as a highly-kept secret. Competitions in preparing the soup are popular and are usually held as fairs or picknicks along river coast. Visitors are offered to taste the soup for money or for free, the quality is determined by public or commitee and (un)success of competitors is often subject of mutual teasing. The soup is best consumed with riesling wines, dilluted with soda water (combination referred to as špricer in Serbian and Croatian).
