Before baking carp, it must be marinated. To do this, in a deep bowl, mix olive oil, juice of two lemons, finely chopped marjoram and basil. Add salt with pepper to taste. We lower the carp into the marinade and leave the dish in the fridge for three hours. After that, we heat the oven to 200 degrees.

Bake the carp for 40-45 minutes and serve immediately on the table from the oven.

And finally I want to give some useful advice:

• When choosing a carp, pay special attention to the gills (they must be bright red) and the eyes of the fish, which can not be cloudy or whitened. It is also important that the scales are smooth and free of mucus.
• If you are preparing carp for a child, then pre-cut all the bones, because the baby can easily choke.
• Never serve river fish half-baked, as in it, unlike the sea, there may be parasites.
