Stuffed fish
Description
Do you like stuffed fish? Then I recommend preparing carp using this recipe. It will be even more delicious if you manage to make the stuffing using three types of fish. In this case, the bighead carp fillet serves as an addition to the stuffing. You can bake this fish, but I decided to prepare it in a canned style. The result exceeded all my expectations.

2. The fish was cleaned for me right away, so I only had to wash it and cut it into pieces. Each piece should be no thicker than one centimeter.

3. Carefully, using a sharp knife, cut out the meat from each piece on the back side and place it into a separate container. Add the grass carp fillet or any other fish (that's what I had). Add onion and, if desired, bread crumbs, although this is not necessary (a similar mince can also be used for making meatballs).
