I haven't tried the carp sushi. I stick to salt water fish for my sushi and sashimi, that use raw fish, except for salmon roe. I guess that might be considered salt/fresh water, huh? Somewhere, I heard there was a parasite problem, at least in this country, eating raw freshwater fish. Any truth to that?
I have, however, eaten carp in miso soup. I've also eaten pressure cooked carp. Carp is really a good tasting fish. To me its somewhere between the extremely light, dry taste of trout and the heavy, oily taste of salt water fish. Definitely better than a largemouth or Northern and closer to Crappie, Walleye and Cats.
I find it amusing how johnincolorado is so selective in what he reads or hears, or at least follows through from his reading or listening. He says carp tastes bad, but after you challenged him on that point, he said he's heard pressure cooked carp is good, but hasn't tried it. While bitching how water users are drawing down the levels in our reservoirs, John passes along, as gospel, that the water user caused fluctuating water levels in Chatfield cause fish, including walleye, to be "off their feed" yet when challenged by EricCo who says he has great luck on Walleye at Chatfield regardless, johnincolorado lets out he's read that the small mouth and crappie are biting great there but that he hasn't even fished Chatfield! One, by the way, drives up to Chatfield from John's home in Brighton, not down as he indicates.
Last year John was bitching about all the fires and low water in this state and how bad the fishing was. I'm not sure if he actually went out, but last year ranked high with me as a good, if not one of the best years I've had stream fishing for trout.
Another posting of his, complained mightily about Colorado's horrendous West Nile plague. Even though he inferred he was worried to death that his daughter and granddaughter might get infected, he was surprised when someone mentioned the propane "powered" mosquito control systems and wanted more information even though I've seen them well stocked around here (which is close to his Brighton) at Lowe's, Wal-Mart, and Home Depot. Though he professes to cruise the Web a lot, he apparently, even with all his fears, didn't type "mosquito control" into a search engine. Doing that would have brought up many alternatives including the propane "powered" units which he hadn't heard of.
His postings are usually extremely negative about Colorado, but he has occasionally boasts of our fishing. In one such posting, I found hilarious how he cautioned readers to "come and fish, but don't stay" and how visitors were fine, but hangers-on weren't. He failed to reveal he came to fish and stayed. He visited us from his Texas and hung-on, exactly like he's telling others not to do!!
These are just a few examples of what I've found offensive in his postings for over a year now. He continues to pollute what should be clean waters of fishing BBS's with his negative attitudes, questionable "expert" statements, half-truths, and drivel -- mostly about Colorado -- which really tic this third generation Coloradan off.
