I’ve eaten smoked carp, from clean water. Not at all bad.

The state of Oklahoma used to put on fish fries for tourists and when the fish were all cooked together most could not tell what fish they were eating.

Yep. Smoked carp is great.

Carp is good canned with tomato juice and a little onion. It used to be called ‘Iowa salmon’.

Big demand for carp as ‘gefilte fish’, a Jewish thing.

Bony they say about carp. I tend to eat mostly salt water fish. I pretty much fillet everything. As a kid we cooked the whole fish, peeled back the skin then forked the meat off the bone. I got so good at filleting and skinning that that’s all I do of late. But eating cooked fish off the bone is a flavorful taste you don’t get from filleting.
