The process of processing freshfish

Before you start cooking fried crucian carp in a pan, they should be carefully processed. To do this, the fish must be washed well, cleaned of scales, and then gutted and cut off excess fins. After that, they need to be rinsed again in cold water.

Usually, in order to prepare the dish "fried crucians", the marinade is not used. But we will carry out this procedure, since with it the dish will turn out to be more juicy and tasty.

All ingredients should be mixed by hand, rubbing thoroughly into the fish, and then covered with a lid or handkerchief and left aside for about 1 hour. During this time, the main ingredient will absorb spices, become more tender, juicy and tasty.

Heat treatment

To make fried crucians crispy and covered with an appetizing crust, they should be cooked only in a hot frying pan. To do this, you need to take a large saucepan, pour odorless vegetable oil into it (so that it covers the surface of the dish by 1 centimeter), and then heat it up strongly until a light haze appears. After that, each soaked fish needs to be dipped on both sides in sifted flour, where powdered paprika was previously poured. Next, the product should be put in hot oil, and after two minutes of frying, reduce the heat tominimum value and cook in this position until golden and crispy. Do the same with the other side of the fish.

How to serve properly

Fried crucian fish with proper heat treatment should turn out crispy and very tasty. It is advisable to serve such a quick dish to family members along with fatty sour cream, tomato sauce or some kind of side dish (for example, pasta, mashed potatoes or boiled cereals). However, it should be noted that some cooks prefer to use this product without additional ingredients.
