    How to put out capelin with onions in a frying pan? Prepare everything you need for this. If the fish is frozen, then take it out of the freezer in advance so that it thaws at room temperature. Wash and dry the capelin. It is not necessary to clean it. The fish is quite small, it is not convenient to clean it. And after cleaning, it will just fall apart when cooking. Sour cream and milk can be used of any fat content. The higher the fat content of sour cream, the thicker the sauce will be.

You can check whether the oil has warmed up well enough in the pan in a simple way. Lower a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process.

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
