Step by step cooking of fried silver carp caviar in a pan, recipe with photo:
1. Before cooking, remove the bags (films) that contain caviar. To do this, gently grind the caviar through a sieve with a hole diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the eggs. Or gently grind the caviar through a grater so that the eggs do not burst.
Note: If you smell the river scent, get rid of it. To do this, before frying, marinate the silver carp in a lime, lemon, orange marinade. Citrus fruits are good at removing the smell of fish. In addition to the fact that the caviar will absolutely stop smelling like mud, it will become even more tender and juicy. This can be done both with caviar cleaned from the film, and in it.
2. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat well. Turn the heat to moderate and send the fish to the skillet.
3. Season it with fish seasoning. But as far as spices are concerned, you can use whatever spices you prefer.
4. Salt and pepper the caviar.
5. Stir the caviar and reduce heat to medium. Fry it for no longer than 10 minutes, because it prepares very quickly. And prolonged frying will make it drier.
