I know people who won't eat lamb or goat because of the strong taste. Yet, I love both types of meat because they can give food a great flavor. I would consider carp as the 'goat' of fish, in terms of flavor, so either you can deal with it's strong flavors or you can't.
Carp are bottom feeders, so they eat trash from the bottom, the meat taste like fish and fog poop because they eat it daily. That's the earthy mud that you taste. lol
NOTE Many time most fish can taste like the water they are caught out of or the food that they eat. We caught trout out in Ruby Marsh Nevada that were eating mainly Snails and even though the water was clean they tasted like Mud and Snails
Thanks for the video. Carp is a little bit tricky to eat. They have it at the Asian markets. All the time it's got a Grassy muddy smell to it, but there are some recipes out there where people soak it in some sort of marinade and it makes it taste better
Brendon,I'm speaking on behalf of your carp catch and cook. If you catch another one comparable to the size of the one you cooked, try marinating it with your favorite seasonings. Then cook it on your grill with high heat as you would grill salmon or tuna.The seasonings and the smoke from the grill nutruelizes the eathy taste.Make your own dipping sauce and enjoy.
Aussie here. Carp are invasive here and I have heard that joke many times before. The funny thing is people use to say the same thing about Flathead here and now it sells for $45/kilo because everyone realised they taste great. I feel like no edible fish is objectively bad and its all just matter of the publics baseless opinion.
Super cool to see your videos now as a man ,I’ve followed you since you were a young boy! You’ve ALWAYS put out great content. Love to see it thanks for the tips 👊
We fry carp. Scale and fillet. Skin side down..... Hassleback the fillet not going all the way through. Dredge and fry. This method makes the bones small enough to eat without hassle.
Once i meet fisherman middle age guy, he complains about hour nothing bite his bait, i curious what he use for bait, it’s really shock me, he use minnow for bait, he use it like fishing cat fish or something, he throws it and waiting some fish to bite it, so i explain it to him, now he understands how to use minnow.
😂 Feeds each member of his family pieces of a fish and then proudly exclaims how he fished it out of the dirtiest lake in the entire region! Someone please give this man a medal for his dedication to science!
In Germany they are used for Thanksgiving. My grand mother was German and we used carp from the Missouri River caught by commercial fishermen. Bleed it while its heart is still beating.
Edible? Carp is one of the best tasting fish, only bested by crucian carp and catfish. And I don't understand why people keep destroying nice fish by filleting it. It's very simple. Descale it, cut the fins off, then the head, then cut the fish in half along one side of the spine, cutting through ribs as you go, and then portion it. That's all. You then lightly flour it and you pan fry it, getting the skin crispy. And you then eat the meat right off the bone. People go crazy for pork ribs and chicken wings, but for some reason no one ever thinks about fish ribs. Try it, it's lots of fun and tastes better. As for the Y bones, it's easy. The back muscle has two halves to it. Split them up. Now take each half and split it along the length of the fish. The Y bones will all stand out. And you eat it with your hands, not with a fork. Franky, that tiny bit of fish you're left with at the end is the saddest bit of fish I've ever seen in my life. Find yourself a Romanian fisherman and asking him to show you how to prepare and cook carp.
