1 serving
45 minutes
The recipe is taken from the book by A. Piruzyan "Armenian Culinary Arts" (1960).

Gut the cleaned fish without cutting the belly, through the opening created after removing the gills.
2
Carefully scoop out the insides with a tablespoon and remove the layer of blood from the spinal part.
3
After that, rinse the fish thoroughly and dry it with a towel.

To prevent the fish from deforming while frying, make cuts on the skin in several places with a sharp knife.
