I don't know why so many anglers think that carp = crap.
They have lots of meat on them and do make a good eating fish as long as the water they're from is clean, it's all in how you prepare it. After scaling it, you should peel off the skin because that tends to be pretty fatty, sticky, rubbery, and unpalatable, but it comes off very easily. Then I recommend slicing up the carp (filleted or unfilleted, your choice) and marinating it in whole milk in the fridge overnight. |
