    Step 1.

    How to fry fish on a fire and which one is better to use? It is recommended to cook fatty, fleshy fish with a small amount of bones on the grill.

It is better to use fresh fish for cooking over a fire.

You can also take a fish from the freeze (it should be thawed at room temperature beforehand and only then pickled).
Bon appetit!

For this recipe, it is better to take not frozen, but fresh fish, otherwise the finished fish risks getting dry.

Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.
