Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew capelin with onions in a frying pan? Prepare everything you need for this. If the fish is frozen, take it out of the freezer in advance so that it defrosts at room temperature. Wash the capelin and dry it. There is no need to clean it. The fish is quite small, it is not convenient to clean it. And after cleaning, it will simply fall apart during cooking. Sour cream and milk can be used at any fat content. The higher the fat content of the sour cream, the thicker the sauce will be.
