The cuisine of Murmansk is greatly influenced by the harsh climate of the region and the traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Kola Peninsula, along with the influence of Russian and Northern cuisines. The use of fish and seafood is prominent due to Murmansk's status as a port city and its proximity to the Barents Sea. The food has historically been about sustenance and making use of what is available in the challenging conditions – preserving techniques like salting, smoking, and drying were, therefore, very common.
