Premium Fresh Whole Carp – 1kg
Is the carp delivered whole or cleaned?
You can choose! We offer it as a traditional whole fish, or you can select our "Scaled & Gutted" or "Bone-In Fillets" options above for a small preparation fee, and our fishmongers will handle it professionally before shipping.
What are "Bone-In Fillets?
A: In this option, our fishmongers completely scale and gut the carp, then cut it crosswise into premium thick fillets (côtelettes). Please note that this option retains the natural central bone structure, which enhances flavor during traditional frying or baking.
Where is your carp sourced from?
We source our carp from strictly monitored, premium freshwater farms known for their clean, fast-flowing waters. This guarantees a pure, rich taste with absolutely no muddy flavor.
Has this carp been frozen?
Never. Just like all Seafood Xpress products, our carp is 100% fresh and chilled, allowing you to cook it immediately at its peak flavor or freeze it safely at home.
What is the best way to cook 1kg whole carp?
Whole carp is spectacular when scored on the sides, stuffed with fresh herbs, lemon, and garlic, and baked on a bed of root vegetables at 180°C until the skin is beautifully golden.
