How to fry crucian, step by step cooking

A simple and quick recipe for cooking fish without any overseas frills, the ingredients are available to everyone.
1. Remove the scales from the fish, starting from the tail and moving gradually towards the head.
2. Gently cut the abdomen so as not to pierce the gallbladder with a knife and take out the insides. If we fry the fish with the head, then we cut out the gills. We wash the carcass from the outside and inside the abdomen. Be sure to remove the black film from the inner wall of the abdomen.
3. In order for the crucian carp to be well fried, we make shallow cuts on the sides of the carcass. Then we rub them on all sides with salt. Leave for 5 minutes, so that the meat is well salted.
4. Pour flour into a plate and roll the fish in it.
5. In a pan, heat the oil and spread the prepared crucians. Fry for about 5 minutes until a brown crust forms.
