Awrighty - now just hold on there a darn minute oh FishMaster. Last time I posted "carp recipes" you came back with the old adage - nail it to a board, throw it on the fire, then chuck the fish and eat the board!
I know of more than Asians that'd pickle a carp. And I've swore (ok threatened) some fish-mates I'd smoke a carp, and not tell 'em, and they'd love it. Sounds like you've been there, done that. Ends up being a conveyance for spice and smoke flavor, heck I could probably spice up some shoe leather at tell 'em it's Jerky

Hey - protein is protein, right? That's why we grow herbs and buy spices - for the flavor enhancement. If you do a lil' googling - you will find a plethora of carp-prep ideas out around the world. As has been mentioned - Europeans look on Carp with a whole different set of eyes than us 'Mericans.
Plus carp is not just one kind of fish. There are various different kinds of carp, and I'm sure various different flavors the bring to the table, or the catfish hook!
