Instruction manual

It is best to buy fresh crucian carp, which must be cut as follows: cut off the head of the fish, make a longitudinal section, then remove the entrails. If there is milk or caviar, put them in a separate cup.

Wash the carcasses of the fish well so that the crucians are sure to be clean inside, and then slightly salt the fish. It is best to use sea salt. As spices for fish, paprika, thyme, rosemary, dried garlic, turmeric or coriander are suitable. For flavor, you can add dill. With these spices and salt, grate the carcasses well.

Wash the carrots and grate it on a fine grater. Wash sweet bell pepper, remove the entrails and seeds, cut it into small cubes. Mix the carrots and pepper well, and then stuff the carcass carcasses with this mixture.

Keep in mind that crucian carp are quite bony fish. In order to get rid of this problem, it is necessary to make several parallel incisions along the back of the fish. Thus, in the process of baking, small bones are baked and in the future they will be easy to remove. Sometimes fish can have an unpleasant odor that can be removed with vinegar.
