Preparing Ingredients
When preparing home canned food, the first thing you need to do is prepare the fish.
To do this you need:
- Remove scales from silver carp. In such fish it is large and tightly adjacent to the skin. Therefore, it is better to start the process in the bathroom or outside. If you actively work with a knife, the scales will scatter in all directions, and collecting them will not be easy.
- When the carcasses can be completely cleaned, they should be thoroughly rinsed with cold running water.
- Next, you need to remove the head and tail using a sharp knife.
- The next step is to remove the insides from the carcasses. This should be done very carefully - rip open the belly, starting with the anal fin, and remove all excess.
- Lastly, the prepared silver carp will need to be thoroughly rinsed again.
As for the bones in carcasses, they are not easy to remove. Therefore, cooks often leave these parts in the fish when preparing canned food in a slow cooker or pressure cooker. If you decide to remove them, you will first need to make an incision along the ridge and remove the fillet. Then, carefully remove the remaining bones from the last one with tweezers.
Marinades
Canned silver carp at home is most often prepared in a marinade of oil or tomato sauce. Any of the selected options is necessarily complemented by a variety of spices. It is also permissible to add vegetables to the marinade. Onions, sweet peppers and carrots go best with silver carp. Vegetables should also be cut into large pieces so that they can withstand high temperatures for a long time. If desired, onions and carrots can be supplemented with fresh herbs - dill and/or parsley.
There are also recipes for canned food that are prepared without marinade. In this case, the fish pieces are placed in a jar and sterilized. And the main preservatives in this version of the treat are salt and vinegar. Spices are added to it extremely rarely. Fish can be preserved using this method in broth, jelly, or even its own juice.
It is possible to preserve silver carp in different types in oil. For example, salted, smoked, boiled and dried.

Canned silver carp
Often, when we see fresh packaged fish on sale—large carcasses of silver carp—we hesitate to make such a massive purchase, doubting whether we will be able to eat so much. But you can prepare many dishes from this delicious fish. One of them is canned silver carp in the oven.
Of course, you can make canned food using this recipe from other types of fish, but silver carp will be especially tasty. By opening a jar of this canned food, you can quickly and urgently prepare fish soup, salad, bake a pie, or serve pieces of stew as a side dish or vegetable salad. Canned silver carp is very tasty and filling.
Silver carp is a herbivorous fish, therefore low-fat. Sunflower oil in the recipe adds juiciness. Also, if desired, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste to the bottom of the jar to improve the taste.
Oven recipes
In the oven, the discussed treat can be prepared in different ways. For example, in oil with spices or with the addition of assorted vegetables.
In oil with spices
Almost any oil will do. But it’s most convenient to use sunflower.
Ingredients:
- silver carp fillet, cut into pieces – 2.3-2.5 kg;
- any vegetable oil – 150-160 g;
- laurel – 6 leaves;
- allspice – 8-9 peas;
- spice mixture “For fish” - 3.5-4 tsp;
- salt.
Preparation:
- Pieces of cleaned fish should be placed in a large bowl, sprinkled with salt and selected spices. Be sure to mix all ingredients thoroughly. It will be convenient to do this by hand.
- In this form, the silver carp should be left for approximately 2-2.5 hours so that the pieces are well marinated.
- While the fish is being prepared, you need to take care of the glass jars - wash them thoroughly, dry them, and then place pepper and bay leaves on the bottom of the containers.
- The containers need to be filled very tightly with pickled pieces of silver carp so that there is no free space left.
- Next, the jars are covered with foil, placed on a baking sheet and sent to the oven at 150°.
- When fish juice appears in the containers and begins to boil, the heating temperature should be reduced to 110°. Afterwards the canned food will be cooked for another 60-65 minutes.
- Separately, you will need to bring the vegetable oil to a boil. It is used to fill jars of fish taken out of the oven to the top. After that, under the metal lids, you need to simmer the canned food for another 30-35 minutes.
Rolled up jars with silver carp treats should be rolled up, turned over and left in this form until completely cooled. You will need to store canned food in a cool place.
With assorted vegetables
Vegetables for this treat include carrots and onions.
Fresh herbs will be a tasty addition to them.
Ingredients:
- fish fillet (peeled and cut into pieces) – 900-950 g;
- white onion – 2 heads;
- dill and parsley - 1 sprig each;
- large carrots – 1 pc.;
- beet sugar – 10 g;
- tomato paste – 1/3 cup;
- coarse salt – 20 g;
- vinegar - 1 tbsp. l.;
- cloves and allspice peas - 5 pcs.
For dishes, you should take a clay container, which retains moisture well and allows you to maintain the temperature at the same level. You should also preheat the oven to 200°.
Preparation:
- For vegetable dressing, you need to peel the onion and cut it into small cubes. And then fry in hot oil until soft.
- Next, you can pour granulated sugar into the onion and add tomato paste mixed with water. The mass must be mixed very thoroughly and heated for 7-8 minutes, stirring constantly.
- At the next stage, grated raw carrots are placed at the bottom of the clay pot. You need to place pieces of fish on it and pour the sauce prepared in the frying pan in the previous step.
- All that remains is to add salt, all the spices and about ½ tbsp. water. To make the mixture thicker, some housewives use a handful of oatmeal at this stage.
- The container with the fish and other ingredients must be closed and placed in the oven at the temperature set at the very beginning.
- The treat will simmer for 2.5-3 hours.
Before putting the canned food into jars and rolling it up, add vinegar to the mixture and stir. You will need to store the treat in a cool place.
Homemade canned silver carp in the oven
Ingredients
- Silver carp - 4 kg;
- Salt - to taste;
- Ground black pepper - to taste;
- Spices - to taste;
- Vegetable oil - 1.5 tbsp;
- Bay leaf - to taste.
1. Before you start preparing homemade canned fish, you need to prepare the fish itself. You don't need any water for this recipe. Having decided on the fish, you can clearly calculate the time for preparing canned food and what pieces to cut the raw material into. For example, carp, silver carp and crucian carp have very dense bones, so you must first prepare fillets from these fish or simmer them in the oven for a very long time.
Since today we are preparing canned food from silver carp with a live weight of 4 kilograms, the fish was completely filleted. Just like for marinating silver carp, you need to thoroughly clean the husks and entrails, remove the head, fins and the black film inside the belly.2. After you have cleaned and washed the silver carp, the finished fillet needs to be cut into pieces of 3 centimeters, not much smaller than pork meat for homemade stew in the oven.
4. A few nuances on filling jars. From previous articles, you most likely remember that the leanest pieces are placed at the bottom of the container. Therefore, it is advisable that when you cut the fillet, select pieces of the abdominal part of the silver carp in a separate bowl. These same pieces need to be divided equally among all jars.
And you need to place the fattest parts of the fillet at the very top. Also, do not try to compact the pulp in the jars. You need to fill it so that there is still some space between the fish fillets. When the oven warms up and the canned river fish boils, liquid will seem to be circulating in the containers. So it should circulate everywhere, and not just from above.
It is worth salting in layers. That is, measure a teaspoon of salt in a saucer, combine it with a pinch of ground pepper and salt the fish in layers. For 1 half-liter jar there is a teaspoon of salt.5. Seal each jar of silver carp fish stew with foil for the duration of cooking.6. Since we will be cooking in the oven, take a deeper baking sheet.
We suggest you read: Fishing for silver carp
Its height should be at least three fingers. Line the bottom of the baking sheet with soft natural fabric. It can be a cotton towel, linen or terry, but terry is also natural. Synthetic fabric will not withstand high temperatures. We place jars with homemade canned silver carp on the fabric.
Pour cold water into the baking sheet almost to the top. In this form, place the baking sheet in a cold oven and only now turn it on to 150 degrees. We wait 30 minutes until the oven and its contents warm up, and increase the temperature to 200 degrees. We wait another 30 minutes.7. After spending an hour in the oven, the silver carp flesh turned white, but still does not look like homemade canned food or stew.
Enough liquid was also released. Now we need to add 50 milliliters of vegetable oil to each jar. Tip: if too much liquid has been released, take a tablespoon of the excess into a jar where there is not enough liquid. Calculate so that you can fit the butter, and there is also room on top.
Canned silver carp will boil in the oven and you should not allow the oil to boil.8. Rinse the lids with soda from the inside and boil for 10 minutes.9. Already with vegetable oil and newly sealed jars with foil, we send the baking sheet to the oven. We do not change the temperature (200 degrees).
Already with oil, the contents in the jars boil in 30 minutes. You should not skip this moment, since the oil on top will immediately begin to flow out when boiling. Reduce temperature to 150 degrees. That is, so that the contents boil very slowly, much like pork jellied meat. Already after boiling, mark 2.5 hours.
It is after this time that canned silver carp will look something like in the photo. This means that the jars can be taken out of the oven, removed the foil and quickly rolled up with sterile lids. Tip: as you can see, we had enough water in the pan for the entire baking time in the oven. But if in your case the water starts to boil away, you definitely need to top it up.
Just in case, you should have a kettle with boiling water on the stove.10. After seaming, be sure to check the lids for leaks. To do this, turn the jar over onto a plate. Ready-made canned silver carp fish at home does not need to be chilled upside down. It is worth turning over each jar only to check if the liquid is flowing.
In a slow cooker
It is convenient to prepare canned silver carp at home using the popular “kitchen aid”.
Canned silver carp can be prepared in a slow cooker.
