Has anyone cooked carp and if so what recipe or method did you use? I have only eaten carp once that I know of and it had been cut up into small chunks and pressure canned and then prepared and cooked like salmon patties. I didn’t know it was carp and thought it WAS salmon patties.
The flying silver carp taste great. If one jumps in my boat or runs into it, knocking itself out, I will get it. Cleaning instructions are on U-Tube. The are fairly easy to clean!
I forgot, I fry mine.
Once upon a time,me and a buddy caught a couple decent bass,and a nice carp,We mix all the fillets together,coated and deep fried them.Not knowing which fillets were which,upon tasting we had no trouble telling the carp from the bass.......the bass tasted horriblerotfl
Get a medium sized carp about 5-8 lbs. Remone innards. Season well with salt and pepper.
Can put lemon slices and aromatics in cavity.
Nail it to a clean cedar plank.
Place it on top of your roof for July and August
On Labor Day, take it off of the roof and scrape all the carp off.
Then eat the board.
A nice white wine, or moonshine pairs well.

The carp is the number ONE food fish in the world btw

as far as how to prepare them I don't know , but when the knights of Columbus fish fry runs out of catfish they start frying carp and not a souls ever knows it , until I just let the carp out of the bag anyway :Rofl
About 20 years or so ago we made a couple of trips each summer to Kenosha WI to fish for salmon on Lake Michigan. At the end of the day we would visit the local taverns across from the harbor and they did something I’ve never seen anywhere else. They would harvest carp from the lake, cut their tails off, gut them and hang them to bleed out. After a while they took the scales off, cut the heads off, then they used a band saw and cut them in half along the backbone. Then they seasoned them and smoked them. When you ordered a pitcher of beer they served a half slab with a pickle fork in it and you picked the meat out and put it on a cracker with cheese. In a word it was AWESOME! I’ve never tried to do it because I’ve not fished for carp but if I did this would be on my radar to try to duplicate.
suckers are 10 times better than carp.
When I was about 15 I went ( what they called grabbing ) for suckers. 5 or 6 people would wade up a small creek and when they reached a place where the fish could go no further they would start grabbing them. It was great fun and mind you I never caught one but collectively they wound up with about 15 to twenty fish. They were friends of my aunt and uncle who I was with. I wasn’t there for the fish fry so don’t know how they tasted. Haven’t thought of that in years and years. Thanks for jarring my memory.
My dad had a great recipe involving digging a hole in the ground where you affix the carp on a board, apply seasonings then place the board with fish on coals in the bottom of the hole. Cover with plywood for about two hours. Remove the board with the carp on it and throw it away and eat the board. Dad did not believe in eating carp. (Smile)

Silver carp and whit emur (grass carp) are very good eating. I was raised in North Central Missouri. If you go to a fish fry there you will probably eat german carp netted out of local rivers and creeks. You will be hard pressed to tell it from catfish. They run the fillets through a meat tenderizer to cut all the tiny bones. When they hit the grease the bones disintegrate.
The mind is a powerful thing and enables us to find new solutions to problems, but once set it can hinder us from discovering new things. Happens to me too often fishing. As for the carp, I have only had it the one time and not knowing it to be carp I thought it was salmon patties. My mind didn’t have enough information to tell me I shouldn’t like it. But my other senses told me it was pretty darned good.
I had AC tonight for supper. Had AC last night for supper. Tonight I marinaded some fillets in a recipe primarily used to grill salmon but it turned out well with my AC. I marinaded the fillets for an
around an hour. But in a baking tray in my air fryer. Baked at 360 for 13-15 minutes. Drizzled the marinade over the fillets in the pan before I started cooking. I baked some AC last night using bread crumbs as a batter, added some Parmesan cheese and a little thyme. After putting fillets in tray I poured 1/4 stick
of melted butter over the fillets and cooked at 360 for 13 minutes. Of course you can always deep fry them. A local
Super market IGA here in Paris,TN is selling 2 lb bags and 5 lb bags of frozen boneless AC for $5.99 a lb.

It’s great honestly. Just bread and fry normal. I don’t know how to clean them though. IGA in Paris TN sells fillets.
