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

We call carp one of two things:

1) Bugle mouth bass

2) Sewer bass

They aren't edible as far as I'm concerned. Taste like dirt. There is also a fish called a Buffalo that looks a lot like a carp, but is somewhat edible.

some say that if they’re caught in really cold water, they’re OK to eat....

"Taste like dirt"

You gotta put them live in a sink to clean out a while
