Russian cuisine has long been distinguished by a variety of fishdishes, because in the territory of a huge state there were always a lot of big and small reservoirs that abounded in fish. Another reason for this diversity was the large number of fasts faithfully observed by Orthodox Christians, during which meat dishes were strictly forbidden, and the use of fish was permitted by the canons of the Orthodox Church.
Speaking of fish dishes, it is necessary to note one feature that characterizes Russian national cuisine: simple peasants rarely fried fish. 
Most often it was allowed, boiled and baked. The reason for this - the design features of the Russian oven, which in those days used to prepare all dishes.
Much has changed since that time: Russian stoves can now be found only in the Russian outback, rarely those who keep posts, but the tradition of baking fish has remained. The dishes baked in the oven are less greasy, and therefore more useful.
