Carp fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry carp in a frying pan? Prepare all the products listed on the list. In the recipe I used a mirror carp weighing about 1200-1400 grams. If you have frozen fish, then you need to take it out of the freezer in advance and leave it at room temperature until it thaws completely. Peel the carp from the scales, gut and remove the fins.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the fish, dry with paper napkins and cut into pieces of the same width (about 1.5-2 cm each).

3. Step 3:

   

   Add salt to each piece from all sides and sprinkle with your favorite dry spices. I used ground sweet paprika and a pinch of dried basil. You can take a ready-made mixture for fish.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve onto a flat wide plate. Flour may need a little more or less than stated in the recipe. Roll each piece of fish in flour.

6. Step 5:

   

   Heat the refined vegetable oil in a frying pan. Lay out the carp to fry. Cook on a moderate flame for about 5-6 minutes until a crispy, appetizing crust appears.

   Next, turn the fish on its side and fry for another 5-6 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Flip the carp to the other side. Cook again for about five minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   At the end, put the fish on the remaining fourth side and bring it to readiness. In total, the carp was fried for 20-25 minutes. Put the finished pieces on napkins to get rid of excess oil. Serve the carp hot or cold.
