My grandmother would have made us eat that thing! So I would have thrown it back…
That’s right. Granny didn’t need to see the fish. Lol
Bighead carp is actually very good table fare.
White meat, nice and flaky, mild flavor. Delicious battered and fried.
They do have bones in strange places compared to the fish species that most North American anglers would be familiar with, but butchering them is easy enough once you’ve done a few.
