Russia is the world leader in pollock catches, with over 1.9 million tons in 2023, marking a record for the past 15 years. The country is also known for its other white fish species like cod, haddock, and halibut. To celebrate, Moscow is hosting a large-scale gastronomic event, "Moscow on the Wave," from May 24 to June 2. The festival aims to promote domestic fish products, create a culture of fish consumption, and support the fishing industry. The event will feature over 500 product items from various regions of Russia and neighboring countries.
