Ingredients

Carp fish - 2 pcs. 800-900 g each
Onions (large) - 3 pcs.
Wheat flour - 1 stack.
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil (for frying) - 4-5 tbsp. l

Step cooking

Fresh carps (2 pieces of 800-900 grams) clean from scales, gut and rinse. Cut off the head and fins. Cut the carcasses of the carp in portions, 2.5-3 cm wide. If the fish is medium-sized, you can fry it whole without cutting into pieces, and without cutting off the head.
Fold the pieces of carp in a bowl, salt and pepper them, focusing on your taste preferences. Stir the pieces of fish and leave to marinate for 30 minutes, preferably an hour.
While the fish is pickling, peel the onions (3 large onions) and chop them with not very thin quarter rings.
Put a frying pan on the stove and pour vegetable oil for frying (4-5 tablespoons) into it.
Pour flour (about 1 cup) into a plate or a small bowl, slightly salt and mix.
Roll the pickled pieces of carp in a salted flour well, and laying them loosely to each other, put them in a heated frying pan.
Cover the pan and fry over medium heat until golden brown. When the fish is well cooked, open the lid and turn the pieces on the second side. On top of the fish, put the onion chopped into quarter rings and cover again, periodically opening it to mix the onion.
When the carp is reddened on the other side, open the lid and fry the dish with the lid open for another 7-8 minutes: so that the carp dries and its crust becomes crispy, and the onion is cooked until cooked.
Remove the prepared pieces of carp from the pan to the dish, lay the fried onions on top and serve the dish to the table.
