Fish of the Szeged fish soup became protected by the EU!
The European Commission has granted protected geographical indication (PGI) status to the Szeged mirror carp, making it the fourth Hungarian freswater fish type to get EU protection, the ministry of agriculture said on Wednesday.
The Szlvásvárad trout and Balaton fish earlier received PGI status, and the Akasztó carp protected designation of origin (PDO) status. The
PGI title has been granted to the Szeged mirror carp live fish and also to fish meat,
the statement said. Its farming area covers a fishing lake network of 141 lakes, including Lake Feher near Szeged, in southern Hungary, and the natural water catchment area of the southern Great Plains.
