If I can't get crucian carp, will goldfish do?

If I can't get crucian carp, will goldfish do?

 

yes if you can not get crucuan then alternative carps will do

 

gibel carp is a fine alternate fish and even looks like and is so close to crucian it is hard to tell difference

 

my concerns with goldfish is the cost and how to source the fish, it would not feel good to buy them from the pet shop

[azrael]

 

This would go well with it.

 

What??? No garlic?

i will have to try the himalayan hot stuff sounds very good

That's kinda "half cooked" pyrogy. Traditionally they are baked in the oven or deep fried after being boiled.
