Picture the scene: you select mackerel or carp or eel from a traditional smoking rack, lay it on a paper plate with a slice of rye bread, and eat with your hands while watching the lagoon glow orange at sunset. This is the best spot in Neringa to feast on the region's famous smoked fish – accompany it with cold beer or pint of kvas.
