Marinated silver carp

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to pickle silver carp at home? Prepare your food. Silver carp is a tasty fatty fish; its belly is considered the best part, suitable for preparing many dishes, including pickling. Select a set of spices according to your taste and availability. When buying fish in a store, choose large carcasses; they have fewer small bones and more fat. To ensure the fish is fresh, pay attention to its external qualities.

2. STEP 2

   

   When you press on a fresh fish carcass, the dent will quickly straighten out, the eyes should be free of cloudiness, and the scales should be smooth. Wash the fish, clean it, gut it, cut off the tail, fins and head. Rinse the carcass well again and let the water drain. Cut the fish flesh into pieces no more than 1.5-2 centimeters thick. Place it in a deep container.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the marinade. How to make a marinade? The easiest, fastest, most reliable and delicious way to marinate silver carp is the hot method. Pour filtered water into an enamel pan, add bay leaf, peppercorns, allspice, cloves, and place over medium heat. When the water boils, add sugar and salt, stir until they dissolve. Pour in table vinegar and vegetable oil. Let the marinade boil and turn off the heat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour the boiling marinade over the fish in a bowl and place it under pressure so that the fish is better soaked. Leave the fish in the marinade at room temperature until completely cooled. For pressure, I use an inverted plate on which I place a jar of water.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onions and cut them into halves of rings.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the fish has cooled, transfer it to a glass jar, alternating with onions. Fill the contents of the jar with the marinade in which the fish was marinated, close the jar with a lid and put it in the refrigerator overnight.

7. STEP 7

   

   In the morning you can take a sample of marinated fish. You can store this appetizer in the marinade for up to a week in the refrigerator. Serve it to the table as a separate dish with strong alcoholic drinks, bread and herbs, or with a side dish in the form of mashed potatoes, cereals for lunch or dinner. Bon appetit!
