I have only tried capelin salted, smoked or canned. I wanted to cook something from it myself. I found a couple of suitable recipes on the site. The simplest of them is capelin baked in the oven in oil. In fact, the cooking process is, well, very simple! Defrosting this small fish takes little time; just fill it with cold water and wait 15-20 minutes. After that I left the fish to dry. Then I added salt, added vegetable oil and stirred. I decided not to add spices in order to feel the natural taste) Next, according to the recipe, I placed it on a greased sheet of foil and baked for 20 minutes at 180°. Everything is easy and simple! During cooking, capelin smells very strongly, it is better to open the window and turn on the hood. After baking, the fish changed color from silver to golden. And they turned out very tasty! The capelin reminded me of blue whiting in its meat consistency and taste. I liked the recipe and will make it again.
