Carp has acquired value due to the taste characteristics of its meat: tender, soft, with sweetish undertones. It is used to prepare various dishes, including fish appetizers, salads and first courses. Another equally attractive option is carp marinated in vinegar and onions. This and other similar recipes will be discussed in this article.
Carp meat is rich in vitamins and microelements that are beneficial for the body.
How to choose the right carp
In order to choose a fresh and high-quality product, pay attention to the following points:
- There should be no bloody spots or smudges on the fish carcass (only 2-3 pieces are allowed). Otherwise, their presence will indicate that the fish was sick with something.
- In fresh carp (not frozen or fresh-frozen), the bones should not easily come away from the flesh, and the meat itself should be elastic and dense.
- Pay attention to the eyes. In a fresh carcass they will be convex and transparent. And the scales are wet, with slippery mucus present on the surface.
- The gill color of healthy and fresh fish is bright red or bright pink. They should not be stuck together.
- If you purchase a frozen version of fish, pay attention to the glaze that covers it. If the freezing is correct, the glaze will be smooth and without cracks. If the work was of poor quality, it will be cracked and lumpy.

Marinade for carp
Like most other freshwater fish, carp has a specific muddy smell. To get rid of it, the fish must be marinated. You cannot use vinegar for this; it will soften the carp meat too much, causing the fillet to turn into a shapeless mass. Compositions based on lemon, wine, fruit or vegetable juice, soy sauce, and fermented milk products are much better suited for marinating fish.
It is customary to add a fairly large amount of aromatic herbs and other spicy seasonings to the marinade for carp, which can neutralize the specific smell and make it pleasant. The most commonly used are black and allspice, dill, fennel, lemon zest, onion, and garlic.
You can give examples of marinades suitable for carp, which will be cooked on coals.
With lemon . For a carp weighing 2-2.5 kg you will need a large lemon and 80-100 ml of vegetable oil. Salt, Provencal herbs and ground black pepper are taken to taste, they are rubbed on the prepared carcass or sprinkled on pieces of fish. Then the fish should be poured with a mixture of oil and juice squeezed from lemon, and left for a couple of hours. With soy sauce and ginger . Peel three large onions and use your hands to release their juice. Add a large spoon of grated ginger, 4 garlic cloves passed through a special press and 60-80 ml of soy sauce. Add black and allspice pepper to taste. You can also add a little salt, even though soy sauce itself is salty. Place pieces of carp into the marinade, stir, cover and leave for several hours. The marinade prepared according to this recipe should be enough for 1.5-2 kg of fish. With white wine . For a glass (200 ml) of dry white wine, take the zest grated from one lemon, a few bay leaves broken into pieces, ground black pepper and salt (to taste). Peel and cut 2 large onions into thin half rings. Remember the onion with your hands, mix with pieces of carp. Pour the wine marinade over them and stir. The amount of ingredients indicated in the recipe is enough to marinate a 2-kilogram fish. With fermented milk product . You can use sour cream or unsweetened yogurt as a basis, or, in extreme cases, yogurt or kefir. A fermented milk product for 2-2.5 kg of fish will require 0.4 liters. It needs to be mixed with the juice squeezed from one lemon and grated citrus zest, then add salt, ground white pepper and nutmeg to taste. All that remains is to mix the ingredients and marinate the carp in the resulting mixture.
It is recommended to marinate the carp for 2-3 hours if it is whole. The marinating time for fish cut into pieces can be reduced by two to three times. Carp does not need longer marinating.
