Ever tried carp? Even supposedly “well prepared” carp?

It’s nasty, oily, fishy, boney and tough as a shoe. These are bottom feeders, and particularly in the Great Lakes that is not such a good thing, since they are what they eat.

This fish is the marine equivalent of road kill. If it were such a frackin’ delicacy, there would be no need for any Gubmint agency to try and convince people of it...


I completely agree with you.

I truly enjoy eating freshwater rainbows and browns along with pickerel, bass and whitefish. I regularly feast on Alaska salmon, tuna and many other salt water fish. I even enjoy sushi.

And I've eaten Asian Carp prepared in different recipes prepared in different ways. In my opinion, its a trash fish because its oily, boney and smelly as well as poor tasting. It is not suitable for human food unless someone somewhere comes up with a fish recipe that makes it taste good.
