Carp on coals in foil
Description
It's best to cook any fish fresh—caught and then prepared right away. So if you're going fishing, bring along some charcoal and a grill. If you manage to catch a carp, you can prepare it using this excellent recipe. To cook carp over charcoal in foil, take a carp (mine weighed 1.2 kg), a couple of lemons, some cucumbers, onions, and plenty of spices (I usually use just salt and a fish seasoning blend of various herbs).

Step 4
Bury the fish in the coals and cook for about 25 minutes. My carp, weighing 1.2 kg, was fully cooked in this time. If the fish is larger, it will require more cooking time.
