Kulebyaka with fish - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute the white fish with other firm white fish like cod, halibut, or sea bass. For the smoked fish, consider smoked salmon or smoked mackerel for a different flavor profile.

Yes, Kulebyaka freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil, or place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven.
If you don't want to use pancakes, you can use thinly sliced potatoes or cooked rice as a barrier between the fish layers. This will absorb moisture and prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
