The [[Krasna Sea]] provides the Khots with a large assortment of fish such as büli (a small cod relative) and Krasnian salmon, shellfish like various kinds of sea snail and crabs, and (usually red) algae, which are commonly wrapped around meat and fish for a slight shift in flavour. Algae are also eaten on their own, usually dried or boiled.

	== Food preparation ==		== Food preparation ==
			Boiling is one of the main methods of preparation in Khot culture, usually done in a pölx for small items and a pölüd for larger meals. A common social gathering food is a large stew in which ingredients are continually added as the fire is kept hot for up to several hours. This stew usually includes such things as meat, seafood and cheeses. Dried meat is a common hunting snack, usually made of yak or boar, fried meat and vegetables such as wild onion are readily prepared in törped pans, and while usually thought of as a preservation method rather than proper preparation, smoking is still prolific in their cuisine. Spit-roasting is commonly practiced in larger muraar where whole animals are roasted over an open fire for the entire clan to eat. Grilling over bone grills is a common and quick preparation method suited for smaller meals.

	=== Fermentation ===		=== Fermentation ===
	Fermentation has been practiced by the Khots since its introduction by the western [[Hashans]] in antiquity. Their usual modus operandi regarding such a practice is to keep fermentation vessels at the various boundary stones for various muraar (clans) to take care of as a large community. Once the contents of these vessels are deemed ready enough by one muraar, they are extracted and stored for themselves, usually keeping some for the next muraar in the processional line. Therefore, fermentation vessels can be seen as a symbol of unity among the Khot population. These vessels were labeled with a clay seal inscribed with a symbol representing what was stored inside. Common fermented foods include fish, meat, as well as beverages such as cultured dairy and fruit alcohol.
