    I’ve grown up eating carp, it doesn’t taste bad at all, I honestly think it tastes better then trout. The only problem with carp is the amount of bones in it. Carp is an awesome fish for like soups and if you are able to fillet the fish then it’s super flaky and delicous

    I just found this video. I’ve eaten carp all my life. My dad’s parents are from Czech. He taught me how they cooked it back in the old country. My favorite way is get about a 5-10 pounder. Fillet n cut out mud vein. Leave in big chunks. Roast w whole tomatoes cabbage garlic onion n some basic other Italian seasoning. Cook on low for several hours. Bones become like canned salmon soft n easily eaten. Meat tastes like mild beef. Great w mashed potatoes or homemade black bread.

    I knew a old guy years ago that would catch carp and he had a flowing well with a big steel tank to collect the water. He would put the carp in it and feed them canned corn for about a week, then clean and cook them. They tasted as mild as bluegill or perch, the corn cleaned the mud taste out of them.

    It 100% matters where you got the carp from. If they feed by filtering through silt and mud, they aren't going to taste very good. Carp that mostly feed easily in gravely, rocky areas taste much better.

    My grandma tells me, that cooking carp is simple if you want it to taste good. They threw the meat in a pressure cooker, which separates the bones, and she compares it to the taste of salmon. So this is not a trashy fish in anyway by far.

    Carp is one of those fish that taste like their habitat imo. If you fishing in a muddy lake, it's gonna taste like mud. If it's caught in a clean lake or stream it's gonna be a lovely fish.

    Carp is eaten quite a bit in Europe during the holidays. Very traditional meal for many. Over in Wisconsin they make lots of smoked or dried Carp and even jerky. Great vid!

    "I've had catfish that taste worse than that." That's a sin to say in my family buddy. 🤣

    Carp were farmed for food by monks during the middle ages, and in some countries in Eastern Europe they eat carp for Christmas dinner. Top tip - You can make any unpaletable fish taste better if you smoke it.

    Ate carp a ton when in Vietnam. Dish fish hold up well to a longer cook time. Especially coated and doubled fried like chicken. Some of the best dishes I have has was a guy who would just cook tons of this every money with the first fry. Come back with the 2nd fry when it was ordered. Then would use a wok to cover in the sauces he had. The best was a singapore crab chili sauce, a coconut curry, and one that tasted just like general tsos

    Never been a fan of eating carp but catching em is sooooo much fun! They put up such a good fight on lighter line. Biggest carp I've caught was 25 pounds on 12 pound mono line. That big momma took me 1 hour and 30 min to bring in.

    I'm Romanian, and carp is the most popular fish here. It is commonly found on the menu at most seafood restaurants, usually served fried with a garlic sauce and polenta. You can also find it in most Eastern European countries.

    Really enjoyed this episode. It was a little different, with the cooking aspect as well as involving your awesome siblings. It would be nice to see more like this.

    In Hungary, that carp (especially the variant with very few scales) is THE fish, for traditional fish meals, most importantly fish soup. It's the only fish most supermarkets offer live from a tank (now they must kill it before selling) and most people cook soup from it during the holdiay season.

    If coming from a muddy river or lake, I like to let the carp sit in fresh clear in a bucket. Odds are anyways where I fish, it's going to still be alive and I can put it in my big trough at home and let it swim in the clear water. Clear water carp is amazing

    Carp is a very good fish to eat. Its according to where the fish comes from. Rivers and streams are the better choice for eating. When you go to bleed the carp pop the gills while the fish is alive to bleed it out for best results. After you fillet the fish put the fillets in a bowl and add a small amount of salt water and vinegar. Let soak for several hours. Blackened is very good, but also beer batter is great too. Love from the ole hillbilly Kenny, peace!
