Mirror Carp
Mirror carp is a freshwater fish recognized by its irregular, large reflective scales that resemble polished mirrors, distinguishing it from fully scaled common carp varieties. This oily fish provides a moderate-fat protein source with notable omega-3 fatty acids, though less concentrated than marine fish like salmon. While valued in European cuisine, its numerous small bones require careful preparation through filleting, slow cooking, or traditional methods like baking whole. Wild-caught specimens may accumulate environmental contaminants due to their bottom-feeding habits.
