Ohrid tries to enter Guinness Book of Records with 3.3 tons of fish stew


After Saturday’s blessing of Ohrid Lake on holiday Epiphany, the traditional winter bathing of the fishermen takes place Sunday in Ohrid on the occasion of the holiday John the Baptist.

As previous years Fishermen Day will include music and entertainment programme, hot brandy, wine, fried fishes and three barrels of wine for most skilled swimmers.

This year’s attraction is Ohrid’s attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records by cooking 3 tons and 300 kilograms of fish stew. The fish stew is cooked by teachers and students of secondary catering school "Vanco Pitoseski" in Ohrid.
