Due to the small size of capelin, and it reaches a maximum of 22 cm, many housewives do not want to mess with cooking it. Baking in the oven avoids standing near the stove for a long time and cooks a large amount of fish with a crispy crust right away.

Instructions
Step 1
Cooking fish in the oven is very simple. If you wish, you can not even clean it from the insides and not cut off the head, but bake it whole. This method is especially suitable if the capelin is very small in size. If the size of the fish is average and there is free time, then each fish can be gutted and the head removed. After that, the fish is rinsed and laid out to dry on a paper towel or cutting board.
Step 2
While the moisture evaporates from the fish, you need to prepare a plastic bag. The package must be taken dry inside and clean. Flour is placed in the bag, salt and pepper are poured. Stir the crumbling mixture by gently shaking the bag. Baking trays are greased with odorless vegetable oil.
Step 3
The dried fish is placed one by one in the bag, slightly shaking the bag, roll the fish in the flour mixture and spread on a baking sheet. Lay in one row, tightly, but without overlap. In this case, the fish will have crispy tails. Baking trays with fish are placed in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and the fish is baked for about 25-30 minutes.
