From Thalia Tsichlakis, AB magazine, Summer 2004. AB is the largest supermarket store in Greece.
This is a great appetizer. The success of the marinated fish lies on the freshness of the ingredients you use for marinating it. Another popular way to marinate little fish is to use vinegar instead of lemon.

Kalitsounia

Cretan Kalitsounia

Difficulty: High

Greek: Kaltsounia Me Kanella

There are various versions of Kaltsounia. Cretan Kaltsounia are also shaped in stars like in the picture. Our effort to shape them like stars was unfortunate as you may notice. the difference from the proposal in the recipe is that instead of making a half moon you roll the circled dough up, down and left , right of the filling and then squize the dough in order to shape a star.
