Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry crucian carp with sour cream in a frying pan? First of all, prepare the fish. Crucian carp can be used freshly caught or frozen. If you have frozen fish, you should defrost it at room temperature in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Clean the fish from scales and remove the entrails. Rinse the crucian carp in clean cold water.

Step 3

Step 3
Prepare all other ingredients specified in the recipe. You can use sour cream of any fat content.

Step 4

Step 4
Cut off the heads and tails of crucian carp. If you have small fish, you can fry it whole, but in this case, be sure to remove the gills. If your crucian carp is too large, then cut it into portions. I had palm-sized fish and to make it fit in the pan, I removed the heads and tails.

Step 5

Step 5
Peel the onion, rinse and cut into half rings or a little smaller, as you prefer. Add salt to taste, ground allspice or black pepper to the sour cream and mix everything thoroughly.

Step 6

Step 6
Heat refined vegetable oil in a frying pan with a thick bottom and high edges. Place the crucian carp in the frying pan. Fry on one side until golden brown, then turn the fish over to the other side and fry the same way until golden brown. If all your fish does not fit into the dish at once, then fry it in portions.

Step 7

Step 7
Remove the crucian carp from the pan. Be careful as small fish are fragile and may break into pieces.

Step 8

Step 8
Add the onion to the oil in which the crucian carp were cooked. Stir-fry to desired degree.

Step 9

Step 9
Place the fish on top of the onions.

Step 10

Step 10
Fill with sour cream. Using a spoon, spread the sour cream into an even layer. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the flame to moderate and simmer the crucian carp for about 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of the fish).

Step 11

Step 11
Dry the washed greens with paper napkins and chop finely. For crucian carp in sour cream, dill or young green onions are ideal.

Step 12

Step 12
Serve on its own or in addition to mashed potatoes or fresh vegetables.
