Spotted In Belgium

[craigdritchie]

Looking for a place to eat in Brugges, Belgium, and found this place, Den Gouden Karpel ("the good carp").

 

 

I didn't order carp (at least not on purpose), but the rest of the menu was really good. Excellent fish and lobster chowder. I skipped the calamari though ... it looked too much like deep fried carp lips.

 

MJL, you would love this place!

Can I set up my rod pod and bite alarms in the kitchen to catch my dinner?

Abasolutely! The restaurant is located near a canal, where there were a bunch of people set up with rod stands, catapaults, the whole works. They take carp fishing seriously there.

 

And nope, the restaurant doesn't likely get its fish that way. It's almost 100% C&R from what I gather.

I was in Ostend Belgium once or twice while in the Navy, but I sure as heck didn't dine on any carp LOL
