Carp in sour cream baked in the oven
Description
My uncle is an avid fisherman, so we often receive unexpected gifts at home in the form of 15–20 crucian carp. Thanks to these surprises, I've already tried nearly every recipe for cooking this delicious fish. Here, I'd like to share with you one of the simplest and most frequently used recipes I have—crucian carp baked in sour cream in the oven. It's very straightforward, and you can even add ingredients to suit your taste, for example, baking the fish together with potatoes or vegetables. But now I'd like to present what you could call the classic version of baked crucian carp in sour cream—the way I usually prepare them.
