Silver carp is an inexpensive and healthy fish. Meat is rich in proteins, amino acids and omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. By consuming it regularly, you will reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. This fish is bypassed by some because of its specific smell, but if you cook it skillfully, the smell will disappear. First, choose the right silver carp first. Buy a carcass from 1.5 kg. In such individuals, meat is fatter and less bones. Pay attention to the eyes of the carcass. They should be transparent, without turbidity. Pink clean gills testify to the freshness of the carcass. The scales should be even, clean and shiny.
It is worth noting that the opinion that silverhead is high in calories is erroneous. 100 g of raw carcass contains 85 kcal. Fried steak is slightly higher in calories, but not too high to eliminate it entirely from the diet.
For frying fish, a variety of breadings are used. Silver carp goes well with cheese or egg batter, breadcrumbs, semolina and regular flour. Today I will tell you how to quickly fry silver carp in a pan without any breading.

Step by step cooking of fried silver carp in a pan:
Note: I bought pre-cut steaks. Therefore, I did not clean the fish. If you have the opportunity, then ask the seller to clean the carcass, gut the insides and cut into steaks. If you do it yourself, then remove the gills with the eyes, cut off the fins with the tail, clean the scales and gut the insides. Rinse well under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Do not throw away the fish and tail, these parts will go for fish soup.
1. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat well. The oil must be well heated, otherwise the fish will stick to the bottom, stick and it will be impossible to turn it over to the other side.
2. Place the fish steaks in the pan.
3. Season them with salt.
4. Then pepper.
5. And sprinkle with fish seasoning.
6. Cook the fish over high heat for about a minute. Then screw the temperature down to medium and fry for another 4-5 minutes. Flip the steaks over and cook in the same way. Salt and pepper on the other side is optional. Bring the silver carp to readiness and serve. It turns out to be delicious and tender.
Before serving, you can sprinkle the fish with lemon juice if desired. Serve fried potatoes, boiled rice, or fresh vegetable salad as a side dish.
