Instructions
Step 1
Clean the carp from the scales and wash. Cut the belly lengthwise and take out the insides, also remove the gills, cut off the fins with scissors, but you can leave it. You do not need to remove the head - baking crucian carp in the oven tastes better as a whole.
Step 2
Crucian carps are bony fish, but there is a small but effective advice on how to make the bones not sharp. Just make a few small cuts along the back and between the ribs, so the bones become brittle and not prickly during the frying process.
Step 3
Crucians usually smell like mud, so not all housewives like to cook them. But if you pour a solution of vinegar or lemon juice on the fish, hold it for a few minutes and wash it, the unpleasant smell will disappear.
Step 4
Take a deep baking sheet. Drizzle with vegetable oil, salt the fish and lay on top in one layer. Chop the onion into rings, finely chop the garlic. Place the onion rings on top of the fish. Mix sour cream with garlic, season with salt and sauce over the fish. It takes about 30 minutes to cook carp in the oven, during which time a beautiful appetizing crust of baked onion and sour cream will appear on top. Remove from oven, carefully transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve.
