Grilled carp - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of fish for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute carp with other firm white fish like tilapia, cod, or even catfish. Adjust grilling time as needed based on the fish's thickness.

What can I use instead of soy sauce in the marinade?

For a soy sauce alternative, try tamari (if gluten-free) or coconut aminos for a slightly sweeter flavor. You may also need to adjust the saltiness of the marinade.

How long can I marinate the fish?

While 30 minutes is a good minimum, you can marinate the fish for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for a more intense flavor. Avoid marinating for longer as the lemon juice can start to break down the fish.

Store leftover grilled carp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
