Carp recipe. Place Carp into a pot of boiling water. Then place a stone into the same pot of boiling water. When the stone goes soft, throw the carp away and eat the stone.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
I want to see that
Needs a little hot sauce depending on your rock I reckon
@@ThatoneY62over here in America, Asians and colored people love eating carp. People say it's actually good, but I'll just take there word for it 😂
Carp = Bones, more bones than flesh
20:14 we finally get a glimpse of the elusive cameraman!! The unsung hero of the trip
I am enjoying Off Grid more than your usual 4WD videos. Getting to see a bit if Australia rather some difficult hill climb. Keep up the great work.
I enjoy both to be honest. Lots to see and do.
No beers in the shed.
Sauce inside all day every day
@@iansharpe5306 Sauce on the side to dip!!
I look forward to your off grid episodes. You guys go places that the others don’t. You seem to bounce of each other well and the footage is great. I watch most of the other TH-camrs 4wd 24/7. ADU. Triplets. Pioneers etc and you guys are the best
I love these offgrid episodes. 85% of my time is fixing my jeep then breaking something on a 7/10 trail in Utah or Colorado. I then have a 1/2 ton chevy pickup 4x4 with a 1000 lb slide in pop up camper in my 6.5' truck bed. My woman won't sleep in a tent. Camper has a heater, 3 burner stove,seating for 3 at the kitchen table, sets up in 30 seconds, sink, water pump/tank, twin bed, etc. Technical wheeling is sweet but a 1500 mile dirt road adventure enjoying the sites, hiking, fishing, exploring is even better sometimes. Plus the missus will join and I won't be sleeping on the ground in a tent by myself waiting to do another trail repair in the morning. Thanks for the great content!
Strangely enough, one of the things I liked most about this vid was just the fact you included footage of properly dousing the fire before moving on. Fire safety is something we should all be mindful of.
Takes more than 1 bucket
Definitely true!@@waynasfamilyadventures147
Totally In agreement.
The number of unattended fires we've put out in our travels is hideously high, including on K'gari where fires are totally illegal, try explaining that to the ranger when he pulls up.
We've installed a grey water tank on our van and it's ideal for dousing any camp fire we instigate as well as unattended we come across, serves 2 purposes, traps our grey water, douses fires, great concept.
This has to be the best 4wd/overlanding show on youtube now without a doubt. Well done Graham and gang. Loving it!
Absolutely love watching off grid, awesome episode.
I have had carp before, and it was surprisingly good, but you've gotta cook it slightly more than you'd think. I egg washed it, then threw it into a ziplock bag with Panko crumbs, garlic powder, sesame seeds and some good old parmesan foot cheese and shallow fried it in bite sized bits. It was bloody sensational with some seafood sauce (mayo, tomato sauce and garlic powder, thanks for that one mum)
Hahaha, sounds like the spice was nice, and the fish was just something to hold it together.... never tried carp myself, but will give it a try
Biggest problem of carp is they are mud dwellers, hence the flesh (very coarse texture) just tastes of mud, not a nice flavour at all, hence all the spices etc here, they disguise a carps real taste.
I was thinking, if you treated them like snails, take them from their natural environment (muddy river) placed them in clean water for a day or two, like they do snails, (change their feeding environment) then & only then they maybe worthwhile surviving on in desperation, haha.
Have heard of placing entire (gutted) fish through meat grinder, grinding that coarse flesh & bones into fine mince, creating fish cakes, but never been desperate enough to try that either!!!!!!.
I'd take yabbies anyway over carp. Shrimp, better still.
Awesome video as always Graham,Steph and Harley. Off Grid never disappoints always some of the most beautiful and epic adventure that Australia has to offer. And everyone of them is a bucket list items.
Lovely acknowledgment of our first nations people, Graeme.
Great to see Graham and the kids back on the road again 😉👍 great video as always, thank you.
i just want to thank you graham for what you do, your energy and positivity keep me going in the darkest times when dealing with a chronic illness. i dream of coming out on the tracks with you guys. australia is the most beautiful little chunk of rock on this little planet. when im sick and feel like im dying, graham, shauno and the whole 4wd 24-7 team make me feel like im there and part of the family. i just really appreciate everything you guys do and im very happy that you all have so much fun!
I enjoy these more than just running through the trails. Keep up the great work
I really enjoy the way graham starts a stopwatch, does the trailer, then says “what did that take, 45 seconds?” Without ever looking at or stopping the stopwatch
Love the off grid episodes.. so relaxing and filled with adventurous scenery.. Hats off to the behind the scenes camera crew and editors who make this really what it is.. Nice work everyone!
I lived in Dubbo for 16 years. Every other weekend was a trip away. Hunting, fishing, camping, beautiful country, soo many little gems out that way.
Back in the 70s in good old WA, it was sauce inside the pie. 👍
Been there done that y'all, amazing camping. Tried carp while we were there, reckon if I eat shit it might taste better. We bought a lamb from a local farmer, who butchered it for us and we spent a day slow roasting it over an open fire, amazing. We caught yabbies and yellow belly and an amazing big old girl cod, that we let go.
Absolutely love watching you guys, fantastic video thanks
Growing up I we would never keep carp to eat. While in Serbia on the Danube River I had Riblja Corba, also known as Fish Soup a traditional Serbian dish. It was cooked in a cast iron pot over open wood fire, boney but delish! Your videos always rock thank you!!
Funny yarn. September 2008.
My brother & I are doing a vanning venture up the Darling.
There's a disguarded flat screen television leaning against a tree in a campsite on the river.
My brother is a practical joker.
He disappeared to his van, returns with small "A" framed ladder, locates a nice straight prominent tree, up ladder & drives a couple nails in, hangs afore mentioned tele on nails, runs power cord down trunk, returns from his van with a 240v power point, nails it to tree at hip hieght, plugs TV power lead into it. Now he disappears, returns with power lead, stuffs some behind afore mentioned power point, runs that lead down the trunk of the tree into a hole in the ground, back fills hole, cripes he did a good clean job of it.
Whalla, camp site now appears to have Power & TV provided in middle of nowhere.
Looked so bloody funny.
Would have got some attention from passing tourists, a real talking point.
Good to see you so excited Graham. This is a great area of Australia and a great place to spend weeks in.
Bloody awesome guys wish the episodes were longer. Graham needs to release a cook book, can't believe Steph doesn't like sauce on her pie! Can't wait for the next episode 👍
YEW! nother 4wd247 video! Uppa!
Always good when guys post a video
The off-grid hs got o be onw of the best parts of the channel, really enjoy these episodes. Im hoping for an extendwd one over the Xmas period 👍
Great show guys, always a pleasure watching you 3.
Question: Could you Show some more details about handling the everyday activities with a trailer? You know, setup, maintenance, umm what the bathhroom looks like (is there even one??). Thanks!
Carp recipe pretty easy, when winter or no fire ban start fire in fire pit then put carp on stick, cook and smoke over the fire until you think it's cooked.
Love off grid, new hybrid van coming this year and these episodes are showing us where we can go.
6 Months ago, tell me about it!! Stopped me from going via Menidee Lakes but did manage to get through Gundabooka Nat Park to get to Louth! Headed North from there, epic trip, so much to see and do! Even a trip to Bourke cementary to see Fred Hollows Grave, then onto Lightning Ridge. The People, the hospitality, the trip in general just magic. Glad you finally have explored the Darling!
I love your stuff and all the effort everyone puts into it.
Smoked carp- build a trench, put some spare corrugated iron on top. Put the fire on one end, and make a chimney with some more corrugated iron etc. Make sure to bleed to carp and then hang them for a day of smoking. Tastes great!
Incidentally, in Eastern Europe - carp is bought live and kept in a bathtub n clean water for a week before Christmas to be used in Christmas dinner.
If aussies took to carp, I think we’d go a fair way to solve that problem👍 all the best!
Love ur work I could literally sit here for hours watching off
Grid
I love it
I actually enjoy this
More
Than the hard core
Stuff on 4wd 247
awesome show shows how much you just love getting out there keep it up
I take the lid off the pie then put sauce on the pie then dip the lid in the sauce and eat the lid first.
Finally, someone said it, YES!!! that is how you eat a pie lol
Graham, that pie saucing technique is revolutionary! I usually take the top off and then put the sauce on and the top back on, but I'll be doing that from now on!
Master-class Cinematography. Just Awe.
I just asked the misses if she likes her sauce on top, squirted in the hole or would she rather no sauce at all.
Rest assured, I'm sleeping in the dog house tonight 😂
Cheers Graham 🍻
To cook a carp:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Grab a piece of cardboard roughly the size of the carp.
3. Slice along belly pull guts out
4. Place carp on cardboard.
5. Season liberally
6. Pick up cardboard with carp on top and slide both into your oven. Cook for an hour.
7. Pull out carp and cardboard, bury carp in backyard. Eat cardboard.
😂 Love the episode so far guys! Can't wait to visit Australia one day!
Great episode, love the Darling. Now you make us want to go back 🍻
Loving each episode guys always looking forward to what you or where you be on the cards next safe drive in your travels 😊
Fillet the carp,for one carp about 1/2 kg, mix in a 2 tbs of garlic and ginger paste and about 2 tbs of chilli powder, a dash of salt, and smatter the fillet with the mix, fry in oil, fairly good nosh.
Being from Eastern Europe, we are cooking and eating carp. If cooked correctly, it has the juiciest and sweetest flesh. But you have to be careful with bones. The simplest way is to clean it (gills and all) and rub some salt and pepper all over it, including the belly cavity. Cut the slits across the sides and rub the mixture of grated onion and garlic all over, including the belly cavity. Wrap in a couple of layers of foil and cook it on the coals to BBQ under the lid. The skin might burn slightly if on coals, but the flesh will be amazing.
This is a really cool build, impressive. Can't wait to see it with a full interior. Seating/steering position looks very uncomfortable but might seem that way as I have no mpv reference.
Those sand dunes in Mungo are great to view a incoming thunderstorms from. Mungo is a great spot been there 5 times. The Darling run is a great run.The Murray River nevers disappoints for great camp spots having been frim one end to the other a great river to explore.
Good to finally see some Murray country. Should follow it along through Vic
Nice one guys, good way to start the weekend 😎🤙👍
Said it before, and I'll say it again. Off Grid is awesome!!
Beer ready. Going to be an awesome one
Great vid Graham and crew
Every Episode has been on point....♥♥♥
carp.. oh man, done right it's absolutely a treat, and at that size and grown naturally it's even more delicious and easier to cook and eat.
Here in the US, Missouri specifically we eat sucker fish and carp that we gig! its an 200 year old Ozark tradition! You will fillet the fish like normal, remove the scales leaving the skin on. Then you will score the meat side in 1/8th inch thick cuts but not cutting all the way through, you stop at the skin so it holds it all together. batter in corn meal, salt and pepper and deep fry it until golden brown! doing that lets all the hair bones cook out and you have a great piece of fish, top it off by getting a slice of bread, put the fish on it with pickled banana peppers and tarter sauce!
I'm Brazilian and I love watching videos
We were catching so many one day we decided to get creative and bake one on the fire. Filled it with rice and lemon etc, but was a lot of work to get any decent meat off it due to so many bones. But didn’t taste too bad after eleventy frothys 😅
Keep up the good work, great episode.
Thursdays to do list:
1) Wake up and look forward to a new ep of off grid.
Thank you for the awesome footage of our beautiful country. Not envious one bit.....no, really. 10/10
I got told by some locals, when we got a carp, is to soak it in brown vinegar overnight to get rid of the mud taste, then cook it in foil with slice's of lemon, onion, tomato, salt and pepper,
Awesome Ep Guys
That's an awesome trailer. I need to take a deeper look at that little layout
Werry good episodes.
love the off grid eps
Love the off grid videos, a hell of a lot better than all the vehicle destroying videos shown on you tube, by the way Graham you are right , sauce in the middle.
Used to be sauce on top for me, but Graham, you've converted me. As for Steph, hey girl, letting the side down, LOL.
Great video
Great vid! Sauce on top 😎
Carp :) ! This fish is a traditional dish for Christmas in the Czech Republic. Carp breeding has over 500 years of tradition in our country. However, the ideal size suitable for eating is around 2-4 kg. Carp has quite a lot of bones, so it is better if it is larger in size - the bones are also larger and easier to pick. The traditional Christmas preparation of carp is frying - but there are also better and healthier preparations. Baking in the oven with vegetables is one of my favorites.
Carp recipe. In Germany it's a Christmas meal. The only thing you need to know. You have to water the carp in clear water a couple of days to get the muddy taste out of it. They even use to keep them alive in the bathtub for a few days. After that you can cook it how ever you like your fish.
Freaking great trip lads and las.. 🤠
Graham for the win with sauce on the inside. Steph, I need to reconsider my opinion of you how can you not like tomato sauce??? It’s UnAustralian!!!! Keep up the great work guys
Love Oz. Miss the place. Don't miss the flies!! PTSD flaring up watching you lot waving your arms around 😅
Love from England 🇬🇧
OMG an episode to watch an no coldies in the fridge. Guess I'll have to make like a Pom and drink it warm :) Just can't think of watching this with out a beer in my mit.
We drove through from Brisbane to Pt Noarlunga in South Australia and the floods were crazy.
Take the carp and gut and filet it. Put it in a pot with a dash of water. Butter. Lemon. Garlic Capers. Some thyme. Cayenne pepper salt and pepper. Some onion. Make some mash in a separate pot. And serve over the mash with some of the sauce from the lemon and butter.
Edit: and any other sides you like. Corn is a great one.
Cut the top off with a butter knife, put5 a small squirt in the pie. BBQ for chicken pies, tomato for beef.
Stick the top back on and squirt a little up the top as well.
Meat pie open the lids tomato sauce and a slice of cheese put the lid back on.
It's amazing
I randomly stumbled across the tilpa pub in april 2021 when i drove from bundaberg to perth. Flooded and closed highways pushed my maps inland. What a beautiful little place. The publican was more than welcoming and gave me a bit of a run-down about the place and its history. Id love to head back out there one day!
I purposely drove there. The day we went there was a windstorm brewing from the sth west. The road was becoming less apparent as it was being submerged by rolling grasses.
We arrived at Tilpa, taking refuse in the hotel. The wind storm intensified so they closed the doors, the grasses accumulated against the hotel.
Nature called, the toilets are out front of the hotel, I opens the door, grasses up to our hips to traverse thru, toilets inaccessible, ground to roof packed full of grasses, as quick as I cleared a path in, grasses closed in over me, haha, bloody hideous experience, tennis courts over the road, gone, inveloped in grasses 3 - 4 metres high up the surrounding fences, bloody unbelievable.
I return to the bar with prawns from our car fridge, lays them out on the bar to share. The locals won't eat them, tell me if they were yabbies they'd been devoured.
Only taker, the bartender, he's a backpacker, he appreciated my prawns, mind you, I had to head & peal them for him. After a feed & few beers the winds settled, so we ventured outside into a different world, our cars devoured by grasses, then the publican says, "guess we've gotta cancel today's tennis comp", she was serious, a local tennis comp was planned for the afternoon. What an experience we had.
As the saying goes, "you couldn't write about it". Well I just did, awesome experience.
I cooked a carp back when I was a young boy. We cooked it under the ground with coals between 2 slabs of mud. When we pulled back the baked mud, it took the skin etc with it.
sauce on top & inside hell yeah
Fish Lids for the win! Loved seeing the Barramundi Lid team
great carp recipe, scrape the scales off, fillet the fish, spice with fish spice and i bit of salt, then lightly coat in maize meal, in the oven pan, little bit of cooking oil, not deep so fish is covered, bake until fish is done, the tail section have fine bones.
Sauce on top. I’m not ready for that kind of commitment.
steph = unaaustralin ,graham = weird ,Harley = that how you have a pie
nothing wrong with a good steph.. 😂😂
Love the spare radiator hose in the fridge at 30:13 😂
Here in the northern US we have a run of carp up the rivers in the spring. Usually much larger than those. The problem is the bones are quite large. Not good for filleting and frying. We usually smoke them and they are pretty good that way. Just falls apart and the bones just fall right out.
In eastern Germany we do eat carp a lot. I find the best thing to do with it, is smoke it and when you can, eat it when its still warm!
Great minds think alike Graham , I inject the tomato source just like you.👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m with you Steph! No sauce on the pie, the pie is the hero, not the sauce! 😊
Hello from Poland! Carp is a traditional fish for Xmas Eve supper here. Just fried covered in flour. Or dipped in a gelatine jelly 😉 Cheers!
Pickled Carp, like pickled herring, was a childhood favorite.
Ok with the carp, use 500gm of carp fillet, remove the skin, put in 500gm of potato, then 250gm of onion. Mince with hand mincer and mix well. Cook as paddies on bbq.
17:50 or she was burnt to stop scavengers from ripping apart/making off with the body! 🤔 another great trip, thanks to the team for taking us along! Will the routes become available?
Regards to sauce on pies my 7 year old daughter said “none of those I take the lid off and put sauce on the meat then put the lid on and sauce on top”. She loves her tomato sauce
Hey Graham another great segment, we are loving OffGrid questions, on this episode you show an under car shot whilst talking about the great suspension set you put on the Dmax before travelling.. to me it looked like the rear leaf springs are flat whilst towing which I wouldn’t say is correct. Is the Dmax carrying a bit too much weight?
The old way I used to eat pies as a kid was to rip off the top fill her up with tomato sauce then eat the meat out and finish off the pastry (around the age of 10)
You and Shaun had a race before and it was I think around the darling river that y’all did it. I remember a turkey chasing you at a pub too.
"That right there, is some good lookin wood"...said one mate to another...lol
You know, once you make something, so epic it can’t be topped, where are you going to go from there? I will always love you, BTW.
