Char in the oven
Enjoy the most tender fish meat from the Northern latitudes. Char is a fish from the salmon family; this type of fish is an inhabitant of northern latitudes. It differs from other species of the salmon family by the presence of very small scales; we can say that there are practically no scales. This is very convenient from a cooking point of view. Moreover, after baking or frying, the skin of this fish turns out tender and crispy. Char prefers to live in clean, oxygenated water and therefore its meat has excellent taste. After cooking, the meat is tender and has less fat content than, for example, salmon.
Fish can be baked, salted, fried, and it makes excellent fish soup. And smoked char is considered a delicacy among gourmets.
When cooking, do not get carried away with spices and additional additives to improve the taste. When baked without additional additives, the meat of this fish turns out tasty and tender.

I practically bake mackerel and saury in foil in the same way; the only spices I use are ground black pepper and salt. I also insert lemon into the carcass, and sometimes I pour lemon juice over the finished fish! Sometimes I put onion slices in foil! This is delicious!

I completely agree with you, baked fish is simply delicious. Char is different from mackerel; after all, the fish is red.
