The flavor of the resulting dish:
Carp fish cutlets have a delicate and mild fish flavor with light spices from onions and herbs. Lemon juice adds freshness and a little sourness giving the dish balance.
The crispy crust on the outside is formed by pan-frying, which adds texture and an appetizing appearance to the cutlets. Inside, they remain juicy and soft. Carp fish cutlets are a great choice for fish lovers or those looking to diversify their diet with healthier and lighter options.
