What kind of animal is it, carp?
This fish belongs to the family of cyprinids. And what are all carps famous for? That's right: a large number of bones and the smell of mud. Although our hero is still better than ordinary carp: there are, of course, bones in it, but they are much smaller. Yes, and there is so much meat on the barrels that this fish was even called a "river pig". Therefore, with proper processing, it produces delicious, juicy, delicate dishes.
