If you are planning to serve carp in the oven for a festive New Year's or Christmas table, then bake it with tangerines - this unique combination will allow you to saturate the fish with a light citrus note and make its taste divine.

We will clean the acquired or caught carp of scales and entrails, then rip open its abdomen. Be sure to thoroughly rinse and remove the black film from the inside so that it does not add bitterness to our baked dish. We will rinse milk and caviar, if present in fish.

2. Salt and pepper the fish, rub it both inside and outside. You can use other condiments or spices, for example.
