Carp in the oven on a bed of onions
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Some people are not particularly fond of river or lake fish, but that's a mistake. Many types of such fish are considered commercial species and have proven excellent in cooking. The crucian carp is no exception. It can be fried, stewed, used to make soup, salted—the uses are not limited to these. I suggest baking crucian carp in the oven on a bed of onions, which will absorb the fish juices, becoming tender and aromatic, perfectly complementing the fish. For baking, it's best to use large crucian carp. Choose herbs and spices to your taste. The finished dish is ready to be served.
