Step by step cooking fried carp in a pan, recipe with photo:
1. The easiest way when buying fish is to immediately peel it off, cut off the fins and gut the insides. This service is not expensive, so I recommend using it. Otherwise, do it yourself at home, while gutting it very carefully so as not to rupture the gallbladder. If this happens, sprinkle the abdomen with salt, and after a while rinse with running water.
After bringing the carp home or cleaning the carcass yourself, wash it, remove the inner film, dry it with a paper towel and cut into slices from 1.5 to 3 cm thick.
2. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat well. Turn the heat on a little more than medium and add the fish pieces. Season them with salt, black pepper and fish seasoning.
