How to marinate carp in the fridge:
- Fillet the fresh silver carp: try to remove all the bones (spine and the ribs), nicely rinse two fillets under running water, pat them with paper towels and my advice will be to leave the skin on.
- Cut the fillet into long small-sized pieces; try to make them equally thick.
- The first step will be to add salt together with all the spices and herbs, nicely mix everything together for every piece to be evenly covered in herbs.
- Add soy sauce and vinegar, mix.
- Slice onion and add into to the bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil in the skillet on the high heat and then add it to silver carp pieces and marinade. Stir once again.
- Сover carp in the bowl with a plate and press it with some weight. Now it is time to leave carp pieces to marinate in a fridge. Silver carp will be ready in 12 hours.
