Carp in honey baked in the oven
Description
The table can be beautifully adorned with carp, which can be purchased not only chilled but also live. One excellent way to prepare this wonderful fish is to bake it in the oven. Some might notice that fresh fish occasionally has a muddy odor, which isn't particularly appealing to diners. Let me reassure you—this smell can be easily neutralized with onion, garlic, and herbs. I suggest a fantastic idea: bake the carp in honey on a bed of onions. This will give the finished dish a unique flavor, and you'll also get a special side dish—sweet, tender onions with a delicate fish aroma.
