Crucian carp on coals in foil with sour cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make crucian carp on coals in foil? Prepare all products according to the list. First of all, take care of the fish. Clean it of scales, remove the entrails, and remove the gills. It is better to take freshly caught crucian carp for the recipe. You can use frozen fish. In this case, remove the crucian carp from the freezer and leave it at room temperature until it is completely thawed.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the marinade. Add sour cream, salt, ground pepper and fish seasoning to a deep small bowl. You can use any spices you like. Mix everything thoroughly.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the crucian carp under running water. Be sure to dry the carcasses with paper towels or a kitchen towel. There should be no excess water left on the fish. Coat the fish on all sides with marinade (and inside too). If desired, place a sprig of fresh herbs in the belly of each crucian carp. You can use dill, parsley or basil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wrap each fish in several layers of foil. Make 3-4 layers, no less, so that when frying the aromatic juice does not run out. Leave the wrapped fish to marinate for 20-30 minutes. You can leave it for longer (then be sure to put it in the refrigerator), but usually half an hour is enough for small crucian carp to marinate well.

5. STEP 5

   

   Light up the grill. Wait until the coals remain in it after the fire. Spread the coals into an even layer. Place the crucian carp on the grill and bake. Cook, turning occasionally. When the fish is ready, remove it from the grill. Cooking time depends on the size of the crucian carp and how intense the heat is in your grill. I baked the fish for about 20-30 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Crucian carp marinated in sour cream, baked in foil over coals, ready! You can serve it to the table!

Interesting. My guests love to catch very small crucian carp, so I’m thinking of wrapping five of them in little bags, if it turns out like portions.
