Eating Carp

[SkinnyLynnie]

I'm glad to see that some people are brave enough to try carp and smart enough to know that how carp tastes depends a lot on how you cook it. I've eaten some very good tasting carp in China, but the Chinese are masters at cooking spices and sauces. My Scandinavian ancestors in Utah enjoyed eating pickled carp. Carp meat probably tastes good when it's smoked also. I'll have to try that. My experience is that most any fish tastes bad if all you do is put the fillet in a pan and cook it without the proper spices. By the way, my biggest gripe about "outdoorsmen" (next to those who leave handfuls of coiled monofilament line thrown on the shoreline as if it was going to decompose) is about those who feel it's some sort of public service to throw piles of dead carp on the shore. Finally, I suspect that if more people in Utah learned to catch and eat carp, we might not have such a problem with carp overpopulation. Telling everyone that they're inedible is exactly what the carp want us to do (like the Chick Fil-A cows telling us to eat more chicken).
