The Iroquois were blessed with clear, cool lakes and sparkling streams, and
both served up an abundance of fish. Fish soup, or u'nega'gei, as the
Iroquois called it, was a favorite. One early recipe is described, "Fish of
any kind is boiled in a pot with a quantity of water. It is then removed
and coarse corn siftings stirred in to make a soup of suitable
consistency." When wild onions and greens were available, they were
usually tossed into the soup pot, adding both color and flavor.
