I was told that they're inedible. Crazy, nasty things will jump in your boat on their own though.

[JohnBrowdie]

do I have to eat ‘em? can’t I just fertilize the lawn with ‘em or something?

[Disambiguator]

Those look like they taste like carp.

[Pinkbell]

There’s no way I could eat it with the head attached. I would try it filleted I guess.

Carp is a trash fish where a come from. It is an indiscriminate bottom-feeder.

Having said that, I suspect it will become a favorite among some professionals answering the ages-old question as to the difference between a lawyer and a carp? One is a slimy, smelly bottom-feeding sucker. The other one is a fish.

I grew up on the Mississippi and have had a lot of carp that was excellent. I’ll take it over cat any day. From what I hear these things are so bony they’re a pain to clean.

Just tell the Cajuns they’re good in gumbo and there’s a kreel limit of two. The carp will be gone in a month. :)

Nothing wrong with eating carp. I’ve eaten many of them. Yes they are bottom feeders, but so are channel cat and nobody turns up their nose at them.

....Asian carp taken from the Illinois River.

I wouldn't eat ANYTHING that came out of the Illinois river, especially an indiscriminate bottom feeder like a carp....

Old carp recipe joke.....

Recipe for carp. First filet the carp. leave skin on and place the carp fillet on a cedar plank. coat the exposed fish side with a marinade made of seasoned salt, lemon juice, some onion and garlic. cover with a tent of aluminum foil and place on a medium temperature grill for about 20-30 minuites depending on size of the fillet. Remove from grill throw away the carp and eat the cedar plank.

The bruthas grind them up, pat them into fish cakes and deep fry them around here. Now if they could come up with an appetizer made from gobies and zebra mussels....

I knew immediately that something about this article was fishy. Mukwanago is a place in Wisconsin, the state of my birth.
During the 1940s, and when this industry began or ended I do not know, native carp were being harvested by seining from a small shallow lake near McFarland and shipped live in tanks to big cities (Chicago, most likely), where, I was told, a certain ethnic group deemed carp a highly desirable comestible item.

I was in China several years ago. I got a pinyin menu in one restaurant where someone had gone through and translated the entrées into Enlish. I don't know if the item was "Fried Carp" or "Fried Crab", but it was written out as "Fried Crap". LOL. Not the easiest country to travel in, but perhaps one of the most hospitable (the food takes a bit of getting used to).

I’ve run into many more that don’t like carp than have tried it.

[Peter from Rutland]

Sounds good to me! *burp*

[kickonly88]

We pass through Mukwanago when we go visit my mom in Delafield. Nice little town.

[dangerdoc]

It’s pretty good smoked.
