How do you cook Gudgeon? The canal near me is full of them


here is one I found

Gudgeons
Egg, beaten
Breadcrumbs
Flour
Hot Oil
Do not scrape off the scales, but take out the gills and inside and clean
thoroughly
Wipe dry, flour and dip into egg and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Deep fry until a nice brown.
Sufficient: 3 for each person.
Seasonable from March to July.

Time: 3 or 4 minutes.

Should be OK :-)

I'm not sure of the season though - they seem OK from about August to the
end of the river season - never tried them later and it seems only fair to
let them breed in peace.

In general -any- recipe that requires 'goujons' of plaice or sole is a cheap
attempt to copy real gudgeon - so substitute the real thing.

"Genre Cyprin" == "Cyprinid". More reasonably translated to "A small
fish of the carp family...".

Exactly like a gudgeon.
