The CARP, it’s a freshwater fish. There is a pond and a river, it is much better than Rio. It’s originally from Asia. In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, carp is a traditional dish of “Christmas Eve” day. Common carp can measure 1.20 m. and weigh up to 9 kg.
Their meat has many nutrients although it is heavy for the organism.

It is observed in its firm texture, fresh smell, not ammonia. The scales on your skin form like a mesh.
If you buy the fish either frozen or not, you have to be careful not to lose the “cold chain”, which is why you must buy at the last moment before leaving the supermarket and if possible place it in a thermal bag for transport. When you get to your destination put it in the freezer.
Immediately put in the refrigerator, if you are going to refrigerate to consume maximum the other day. Marinate or season.
