opps lol dont do it!
Had a dear friend that has now passed away, but he used carp in the place of tuna to make tuna salad. Every year he would steam carp fillets, pull out the Y-shaped bones after steaming, and flake the carp. He would add your usual ingredients boiled eggs, sweet pickle relish and mayo. He would feed people at his church's get-togethers. All the old women would tell him it was the best tuna salad they ever ate. I have made it and it is not bad. Sure isn't abicore white tuna, but not bad. My boss would take carp filets, rub with garlic/onion powder, black pepper, salt, and lemon pepper. Then he would smoke it until firm. It was pretty good, but why cook and eat carp when you can catch crappie.
cook in a pressure cooker and make patties like salmon not bad
Grandpa used to take large white carp, cut out the rib cage and fry them like anyother fish. Meat is real white, firm & flaky. The rib bones are real big so they're no problem. Not bad! :D

Yeah, the Europeans are crazy about carp. What the bass is to America, the carp is to Europe.Quote:
