Cooking carp does not take much time. But before you heat-treat the fish, you should think about what kind of dinner you want to end up with. After all, using this product, you can make completely different dishes, including soups and goulash.

Details about fish

Before we tell you how to cook carp at home, we should tell you what this fish actually is.

Carp is a very juicy and delicate-tasting freshwater product, which is ideal for frying, boiling, stewing, baking in the oven, over a fire, for stuffing, as well as preparing aspic, and even cutlets. But in order for a dish using the mentioned fish to be truly tasty, it must be thermally processed in accordance with all technological standards. Moreover, before you learn how to properly cook carp, you should dwell on one important point. Namely, cutting fish.

Main product processing process

Cooking carp on the stove or in the oven requires careful processing of the fish. It should be washed well in slightly cool water, cleaned of scales, and then the dorsal fin should be cut off. Next, you need to open the abdomen with a knife (from the tail to the head) and remove all the insides. This procedure should be carried out very carefully. After all, a damaged gall bladder can cause fish meat to become quite bitter in the future.

After all the described actions, it is necessary to remove the black inner film from the carp, as well as the gills and eyes. Having cleaned the fish of inedible elements, it should be rinsed well again in cold water.

As mentioned above, the preparation of carp can be different. And depending on what you want to make from it, the fish itself is processed in one way or another. So, to create delicious cutlets, carp meat needs to be deboned, and then minced using a blender. If you decide to fry fish, then you should definitely remove the rib bones from it and cut it into pieces across the ridge.

Prepare a delicious and rich soup

A carp recipe may include completely different ingredients. For a rich soup we will need:

• small carp - 1 pc.;
• small white bulbs - 2 pcs.;
• small fresh potatoes - 2 tubers;
• juicy medium carrot - 1 pc.;
• bay leaf, salt and allspice - use to taste;
• long grain rice - 3 large spoons.

Preparing Ingredients

How to cook carp on a stove? We will tell you about this a little below. After all, before you make a delicious rich soup, you should process the above ingredients well. To do this, you need to peel the vegetables and chop them. Potato tubers and onions should be cut into cubes, and carrots should be chopped on a large grater. As for long-grain rice, it must be placed in a sieve and rinsed well until the water is completely transparent. We talked above about how to process carp. To prepare soup, fish that has been cleaned of its entrails and head should not be cut into pieces.

Cooking on the stove

As you can see, the recipe for preparing carp in the form of a rich soup does not involve the use of expensive ingredients. To make this dish, you need to fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Next, the whole processed fish should be dipped into the hot liquid. It needs to be salted and cooked over low heat for about 25 minutes. In the future, the finished carp should be carefully removed and cooled completely. To add to the soup, we only need fish meat. It needs to be separated from bones and skin and divided into fairly large pieces.

After the fish broth is ready, you need to put the potatoes, onions and carrots into it. It should also be seasoned with bay, salt, if required, and pepper. It is recommended to cook these ingredients for about ¼ hour. Next, you need to add washed rice to them. After another 20 minutes, all products should become completely soft. You need to put pieces of fish meat into the broth, boil it, remove it from the stove and let it sit under a closed lid for several minutes.

Proper serving to family members

As you can see, cooking carp at home does not take much time or a large number of ingredients. After the soup is ready, it must be poured into bowls, seasoned with fresh chopped herbs and immediately presented to family members along with bread and sour cream.

Recipe for cooking carp in a frying pan

Carp is an ideal fish for frying in a pan. A dish prepared in this way turns out to be very nourishing, aromatic and tasty. For it we will need:

• large carp - 1 piece;
• light flour - a small glass;
• salt and allspice - use to taste;
• sunflower oil - use as desired.

Ingredient Processing

Before cooking carp in a frying pan, you should thoroughly process all prepared foods. To do this, you need to peel all the vegetables and then chop them. Grate the carrots on a large grater and cut the onions into cubes. As for fish, it should be processed as described above. Next, the carp must be cut into steaks 2 centimeters thick. To give the dish a special aroma and taste, pieces of fish must be seasoned with pepper and salt in advance, and then sprinkled with freshly squeezed lemon juice and left aside for a short period of time (about 30-45 minutes). This procedure will allow you to get rid of the smell of mud that is inherent in this type of fish.

Sautéing vegetables

Many people know how to cook mirror carp. But not everyone knows how to make fried fish as tasty and satisfying as possible. To do this, it should be additionally flavored with fried vegetables. To cook them, you need to put a frying pan on the fire, heat the sunflower oil in it very high, and then put in the carrots and onions. Fry these ingredients until they turn golden brown. Finally, they need to be seasoned with spices, placed on a plate and put aside.

Thermal treatment of fish

Before you cook delicious carp, you need to pour the sunflower oil into the same frying pan again and heat it slightly. Next, you need to pour light flour into a shallow plate and roll the marinated fish steaks in it one by one. After all the described steps, the carp must be fried on both sides over low heat until golden brown. The total time for heat treatment of fish should not exceed 30-35 minutes. For better cooking of the product, it is recommended to periodically cover the pan with a lid.

Properly presented to the dinner table

Now you know how to cook delicious carp in a frying pan. After the fish steaks are well browned, they should be covered with sauteed vegetables and kept under a closed lid for ¼ hour. Next, pieces of carp with onions and carrots must be carefully placed on plates, and mashed potatoes or any other stewed vegetables should be placed next to them. It should be noted that such a dish is not only very tasty and aromatic, but also quite high in calories.

Deliciously baked fish in the oven

Not everyone knows how long to cook carp in the oven. After all, such fish is usually boiled or fried in a frying pan. However, it should be noted that when baked, this product turns out even more tasty, satisfying and nutritious. Especially if you generously grease it with thick sour cream and stuff it with vegetables.

What needs to be done to ensure that you have a satisfying and flavorful baked carp? The following ingredients will help you cook deliciously in the oven:

• the largest carp - 1 piece;
• large white bulbs - 2 pcs.;
• thick sour cream - a small glass;
• juicy medium carrot - 2 pcs.;
• fresh lemon - a small fruit;
• salt and allspice - use to taste.

Preparing the Components

Before baking fish in the oven, it should not only be properly processed, but also marinated. To do this, the carp, cleaned of its entrails, must be rubbed well with pepper and salt, then sprinkled with fresh lemon juice, placed in a container with a lid and left at room temperature for half an hour. At this time, you can start preparing the filling. In this recipe we decided to use only a small amount of vegetables. Although you can use other ingredients. For example, baked carp with buckwheat porridge, mushrooms and even potatoes turns out well.

Thus, carrots and onions should be peeled and then chopped. Both ingredients need to be cut into thin circles and half rings, respectively. You should also chop the rest of the fresh lemon separately. It is advisable to cut it into very thin semicircles.

By the way, before stuffing the carp, many housewives first fry the vegetables in a frying pan with the addition of sunflower oil. We decided to omit this procedure, because finely chopped vegetables will cook well in the oven.

The process of forming a dish

After both the main ingredient and the filling are ready, you should begin directly stuffing the carp. To do this, remove it from the container, place it on a plate, and then generously grease it with thick and rich sour cream. Moreover, the dairy product should be applied both outside and inside. Next, the aromatic fish must be placed on a baking sheet, which must first be lined with thick cooking foil. Having opened the belly of the carp as much as possible, you should alternately place circles of juicy carrots, half rings of white onions and thin slices of lemon into it. Additionally, the ingredients can be seasoned with a little pepper and salt.

Baking process in the oven

How to cook carp in sour cream in the oven? To do this, the belly of the fish stuffed with vegetables must be tightly closed, and then once again apply thick sour cream to the surface of the freshwater inhabitant and wrap the fish well in cooking foil. In this position, the package with stuffed carp needs to be placed in the oven. The dish should be baked for 40-50 minutes at a temperature of 195 degrees. After this time, you need to take out the fish, open the foil slightly, and taste it. If the carp is completely cooked and the vegetables have become soft, then the dish can be safely removed from the oven. If it seems to you that the ingredients are still too harsh, then it is recommended to bake them in the same mode for about ¼ hour.

How to present it to invited guests?

After the dish is completely cooked, the package should be removed from the oven. Next, you need to carefully remove the fish from the foil and place it on a large plate. If this dish is intended for a festive table, then it is advisable to place the carp on green lettuce leaves in its entirety. It can also be decorated with a mayonnaise mesh, sprigs of parsley, dill and lemon slices. As a side dish for baked fish, serve boiled rice, buckwheat porridge or mashed potatoes. Although some housewives recommend serving carp to guests only with those vegetables that were baked inside.

Now you know how to quickly and deliciously make a hearty dish for your everyday or holiday table. By the way, when preparing such fish, we recommend using the following tips.

1. Before rubbing the carp with salt and pepper, it is recommended to dry it using regular paper napkins. This way the fish will be better saturated with spices and it will turn out much tastier.
2. If you notice that the carp smells like mud, it is recommended to pre-soak it in white wine or freshly squeezed lemon juice.
3. If you want to fry such fish, then you should know that small carp can be cooked whole, but large ones must be cut into pieces.
4. Small fried carp turns out very tasty if it is first rolled not in wheat flour, but in breadcrumbs.

Baked carp

Recently we were given some beautiful carp! And we wondered what interesting things we could make from these beauties! We decided to bake one in the oven and bake the other! Both the fish in sour cream and the baked carp turned out delicious. Fish pieces in sour cream were enveloped in a thick sauce, juicy, satisfying, very home-made.

But a whole carp with herbs in the belly, cooked in the oven, was perceived as a festive and very refined dish with a delicate taste and aroma. The recipe is very simple, I’ll tell you now.

What you need to bake carp

for 3-4 servings

• Carp – 1.5 kg;
• Olive oil (regular vegetable oil is fine) – 2 tablespoons;
• Turmeric – 1 teaspoon;
• Salt – 1 level tablespoon;
• Ground black pepper – 0.5 teaspoon;
• Lemon - half;
• Parsley, dill, basil - a few sprigs to fill the belly of the fish.

How to bake carp

How to properly clean carp

• Wash the carp in cold water and begin cleaning the fish. I hope you have your tools prepared in advance: a comfortable sharp knife, a special knife for cleaning fish (with a grater), scissors. Nippers won't hurt either - it's difficult to cut off carp's fins, and scissors don't always do the job. If you have a special board with a clamp for cutting fish, then cleaning the carp will go faster and with less energy.

Tools for cleaning fish: large sharp knife, scissors, fish grater, small sharp knife. And the fish is pinned to a long narrow cutting board with a clothespin (look on the left - the tail is clamped with a clamp)

• Remove scales from the fish (remember that they are on both the belly and the back). Cut off (or bite) the fins. Carefully cut the abdomen with scissors and remove the insides without damaging the gallbladder. Carefully remove the gills. Rinse the carp inside and out.
• Cut off the tail, but so that it is beautiful. Now the fish is ready for marinating.

How to reduce the sharpness of carp bones

To prevent fish bones from cracking so much, cut the carp on both sides - diagonally into strips at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other.

The fish barrels should not be cut all the way through. The bones will be cut and will become less dangerous.

Marinate the carp

If you do not have suitable large dishes, you can take a large bag and marinate the carp in it.

• Mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, ground pepper and turmeric (it will give the carp a beautiful golden color). Coat the fish with this mixture inside and out. Marinate for 20 minutes.

Bake carp in the oven

• Line a baking dish with baking paper. To make it lie better, you can first slightly crumple it. If you don't have paper, use foil. A foil or paper liner will make it easier to remove the finished fish. But if you don’t have anything, you can simply grease a baking dish with oil (butter or vegetable).
• Stuff the belly of the carp with sprigs of greenery.
• Transfer the carp to a baking dish. Place the carp to bake in the oven, preheated to a temperature of 150 degrees C. The delicious smell of the finished fish dish and a golden crust (not too tanned!) will indicate the readiness of the carp.
• It is better to transfer the finished carp to a plate together (I almost said: one holds the hands, the other holds the tail)... in fact, you need to do this: let the fish cool a little. Then transfer it using two spatulas to a serving dish. Afterwards, remove the greens from the belly and throw them away (they were only for the smell).

A large golden carp will decorate your table! The smell is wonderful, the taste is also very good!

But, be careful. There are a lot of bones in this fish, you need to eat it slowly, without being distracted by trifles. And your main news this evening will be carp. Delicious.

Bon appetit!

Methods for cooking carp in the oven are now a dime a dozen! But we carefully weighed all the factors and still decided to create for you the recipes that people like the most.

We will cook carp with vegetables, in sour cream, in foil and in Arabic style. There are only four recipes, but everyone can choose their own. For example, in sour cream - this is more for children, because they need tender meat. In foil - this is a classic, which may be suitable for those on a diet. Asian carp for those who love something spicy. Well, the option with vegetables is suitable for everyone.

To prepare delicious carp and serve it beautifully on the table, you definitely need to know how to choose the right, good, high-quality fish.

To avoid mistakes, we decided to write you a whole list of rules by which you will have to choose a fish. This applies to both store-bought products and market products.

1. First of all, attention should be paid to the color of the fins. They must be red, in no case gray, green or black;
2. There should be no stains or traces of blood on the carcass. If there are two or three stains, this is an acceptable norm. If moreover, the fish is sick;
3. If you take frozen carp, then look at the texture of the ice. It should be smooth like icing. If there are cracks, bumps and other imperfections, the fish was frozen incorrectly;
4. Perhaps the fish was frozen using the dry method. This means that there should be no traces of ice at all. Essentially, the fish is as fresh as a fish, but hard as a rock;
5. When pressing on the carcass, you should see the dent go away in less than a second. If it takes a few seconds for the surface of the fish to do this, then the fish has been frozen more than once;
6. Fresh fish can also be quickly identified by the eyes. It is for this reason that many recommend buying a carcass with the head. Even if you overpay, you will be confident in the freshness of the purchased product. So, fresh fish's eyes are bulging and clear. When left standing, they become flat and cloudy;
7. The scales of fresh fish are smooth and glide a little. But the mucus layer should be small. Large layer - old fish;
8. The carp's gills should never be stuck together;
9. The surface of the mascara should be an even color, without sharp transitions to other shades.

Now that you are almost a master in choosing fresh carp, you can begin to study our recipes, namely the lists of ingredients and cooking methods.

When you gut the fish, be very careful not to touch the gall bladder. It is better not to touch it, otherwise it will spoil the fish with its bitter taste. The bile will flow out and be absorbed by the fish very quickly. If this does happen, then the places where the bile got in should be rubbed with salt and left for a while so that the salt takes everything away.

In order for the fish to form a beautiful, appetizing, golden-brown crust, it needs to be dried as best as possible with dry napkins and only then rubbed with spices and vegetable oils. If you don’t wipe the fish, the water will push everything away and a crust won’t form.

If you do not want to stuff the fish, but want it to be golden brown on the inside, then you need to secure everything with toothpicks. By the way, if you have stuffed fish, then it is also better to secure the filling with toothpicks so that nothing leaks out/falls out.

To enhance the flavor of the fish, use lemon juice or white wine. It is these two products that improve the taste of carp.

What else besides vegetables can you stuff fish with? These could be mushrooms, nuts, citrus fruits or even sweet fruits/berries. Whatever you fill the carcass with, it will turn out incredibly tasty!
