I have taisted Great Lakes Carp. They suck. Fun to shoot. Fun to bury. They make great rose food.
The key step of preparing the carp is to place it in fresh water for a couple of days.
The fish is a bottom feeder and normally tastes like mud and grass. But after a few days of clean water and no food, they become almost edible. I have my carp cooked with tons of chili and ketchup to drown out the taste.
Guess we know why Obozo supports letting them invade the great lakes.
