Crucian carp is a well-known freshwater fish. A huge number of dishes are prepared from it, which are famous for excellent taste. The only drawback of this fish is the large number of small bones.

And to enrich the taste of the dish, the fish can be marinated in spices, spices and herbs before being sent to the oven. It is also recommended to make several even cuts on top of the carcass.
One of the main questions that housewives ask when preparing it is - how long does it take to cook crucian carp?
