Description

Kobyai crucian carp is traditionally prepared in Yakutia. In European Russia, Kobyai crucian carp is available exclusively in frozen form, so it needs to be thawed for about a day at a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius.

Ingredients

Vegetable Oil - 1 tablespoon
Crucian Carp - 3 pieces
Wheat Flour - 3.5 oz
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Clean the defrosted fish by removing the innards and scales. Make several crosswise cuts on the body; this will help to burn away the small bones, which the Kobyai crucian carp also has in abundance.

Step 2

Coat the crucians in flour and fry them in vegetable oil until golden brown. In a non-stick skillet, you can fry them without oil, as the fish will release enough of its own fat. Season with salt and pepper.
