Fish should be included in the diet of any person, otherwise food cannot be called complete. It is an important product for our health and should be consumed regularly, at least once a week. Carp is a type of fish that is very popular among culinary specialists, even though it contains abundance of small bones. Its meat is very tasty and healthy, and if cooked correctly, it will make a great dish.
But in order for the baked carp to be really tasty, it should be bought chilled, or better live, but by no means frozen. A frozen carcass loses a significant part of its taste and aroma. The gills of the fish should be from scarlet to burgundy, but neither gray or black. There should be no dullness in the eyes. And, of course, the smell - carp always smells good.
You can cook carp yourself, or you can immediately cook it with a side dish, for example, with potatoes or vegetables. In addition, according to the same recipe, you can cook any other fish: pike perch, silver carp, sturgeon, cod, etc. Before baking the fish, it is advisable to marinate it, of course, if you have a little free time. Thanks to this, the finished dish will better absorb the taste and aroma of spices. For the marinade, you can take any spices and herbs that you like.

Cooking baked carp in the oven
1. Peel carp of carp. It is best to do this in water, so the husks will not spray all over the kitchen. I find it most convenient to draw water into the kitchen sink, but you can also use a large basin. Then carefully open the belly of each carcass so as not to cut the gallbladder, remove all the insides and rinse well.
2. Dry the fish carcasses with a paper towel and make transverse cuts 1 cm apart.
3. Now prepare all the necessary spices: mayonnaise, tartar sauce, soy sauce, fish seasoning, salt and black pepper.
4. Combine all the spices in a large bowl and stir well together so that they are all evenly distributed.
5. Brush each carp with cooked marinade and place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Leave it to lie down for 20 minutes so that the fish is well saturated with all the spices. If you want to cook a side dish right away, you can peel the potatoes, cut them into 4-6 pieces and put them between the fish carcasses. Potatoes, if desired, can also be marinated in the same sauce.
6. During this time, preheat the oven to 200 degrees, then send the fish to bake for 45 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees. Put the finished fish on a dish and serve with a fresh vegetable salad.
