Clean and fillet the carp fish, removing any bones.

Marinate the fish fillets in olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes.

Chop onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Thread marinated fish, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes onto the skewers alternately.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Baste with additional marinade during cooking for added flavor.

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
