Step-by-step cooking of fried crucian carp in a pan so that there are no bones:
1. First you need to clean the fish from the scales. If it is possible to clean the fish immediately upon purchase, do not refuse this service. If your husband is an avid fisherman, then get a special board for cleaning fish, this will greatly facilitate your work.
We remove the insides (you may come across caviar, it can be fried or salted). To cut off the head or not is at your discretion.
Now, carefully, let's share a secret. We take a sharp knife and make diagonal cuts on the fish. You can do it like we do - a cross on a cross or closely spaced cuts in one direction. The cuts will allow the fish to cook well and soften any small bones.
2. Now we rub each fish with seasonings - salt, pepper and a mixture of herbs. Although only salt is enough for crucian carp. If there is a lemon in the fridge, sprinkle the fish with lemon juice. Leave the fish for 10-15 minutes to soak in the seasoning.
3. Dip the fish in flour on both sides.
4. Fry the fish in hot vegetable oil on both sides until a delicious golden brown crust. Over medium heat, this takes 5-7 minutes. You do not need to cover the pan with a lid, otherwise the fish will fall apart.
5. We immediately serve fried carp with a glass of beer. You are guaranteed a pleasant evening!
