Carp, cod, salmon, or maybe pike ? Regardless of which type of fish you plan to eat for Christmas Eve this year, you must make sure that it is properly prepared.
This is the main star of the evening, awaited by the guests, so she should be treated like royalty. It should be perfectly cooked, so be careful not to burn it or turn it too early. Then the meat may turn out to be half-raw inside.
