It is better to buy carp for baking it whole at specialized points for the sale of fresh fish, whose employees provide additional or included in the price services for cleaning and gutting fish individuals. Thus, you are guaranteed to get a fresh product, moreover, properly processed and partially prepared for baking. At home, you will only need to rinse the carp, wipe the carcass dry and you can start marinating it.

We heat the pan with sunflower oil, put half of the onion rings in it, and after five minutes and carrots. We fry the vegetables until soft, not forgetting to flavor them in the process with iodized salt and freshly ground mixture different peppers.

Carp as a bright representative river fish, not as popular in cooking as marine, proves the opposite, often being the main ingredient in dishes. One of the confirmations of these words is carp baked in the oven - not the most difficult dish, which has an attractive taste and appearance. Despite this, baked carp is not very simple, not only in cooking, but in the selection of the fish itself. It should immediately be noted an important fact that it is necessary to use a river carp, and not a pond carp bred in captivity. Stagnant waters, coupled with the omnivorous nature of which this fish is famous for, do not affect the taste of the product in the best way. In other words, the fish may just smell bad. Carp in the oven could be considered an easy-to-cook dish, if not for the only significant difficulty - butchering the fish and, as already mentioned, its choice.
The carp recipe in the oven provides for stuffing - removing the entrails and filling with the so-called filling. Stuffed carp is cooked whole, filled with browned vegetables. Typically, some of the most popular vegetables for this purpose are carrots and onions, as well as a number of other ingredients, in this case bell peppers. Carp is traditionally cooked as an independent dish or with potatoes. The most well-known method of preparing this fish, in addition to stuffing, is baking using foil. Carp in foil, also baked in the oven, is perhaps the main competitor of the presented recipe. Delicious carp is obtained in both cases, but in this case, it is also attractive in appearance, which is sometimes an important point. As for appearance, to give freshness, lemon is often added to this dish. With lemon, the dish looks richer and more attractive. In addition, lemon is used not only for appearance, but also as an ingredient that gives the smell to fish.

In this recipe, I will tell you how to cook carp in the oven in the simplest and fastest, but no less in a delicious way. To successfully cook a carp dish, you need to be patient. To achieve an excellent result, I strongly do not recommend using captive-bred carp. Such fish may have an unpleasant taste and smell.

- If you take frozen carp, then look at the texture of the ice. It should be smooth, like frosting. If there are cracks, bumps and other imperfections, the fish was frozen incorrectly;
- Perhaps the fish was frozen by the dry method. This means that there should be no traces of ice at all. Essentially, the fish is as fresh but hard as a rock;
- When pressing down on the carcass, you should see the dent go away in less than a second. If it takes a few seconds for the surface of the fish, then the fish has been frozen more than once;
