So, how does one prepare carp to eat? In this country, you do not go to a restaurant and see "Carp a diem" on the menu.
I recall from when I was a small kid being told people did not eat them. It always seemed such a waste, even as an 11 or 12 year old. IF a fish breeds like carp do, grow as big as carp do, are as easy to catch as carp are, why can't they be used to meet food needs?
This thread revives that 40+ year old memory and I would be glad to have some discussion on what to do w/ carp after you shoot them. I have never seen one hanging on the wall under the moose head next to the lunker walleye with the owner bragging to me that he got that one w/ his tripple action bow from 89 feet through an old apple tree on a 45 pitch hillside or an 8 pound dough ball that stunk to high heaven!
