captpierre Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) So my son is a master at catching carp off the dock here on north Pigeon. Usually they are 15+ lb. Yesterday he catches a 10 lber. Let's see what they taste like. Looked up a bunch of recipes. Tried frying with Fish Crisp, grilling with jerk rub, marinated with soy sauce/lemon juice. I must say it tasted pretty good. Only problem is the bones. Usually with an eye, I cut out a wedge containing the Y bones and we're boneless. Carp don't seem to have Y bones that you can feel on the inside of the fillet. Yet lots of big ones are present all over the place except in the belly meat. Unless there is some way to remove them the carp won't have to worry anymore. Anybody know? Edited August 2, 2017 by captpierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 You could always try pickling them, that makes the bones disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Saw it served Asian style a few times. Carp is cooked in a long Wok while alive and eaten before it dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I like my food good and dead before I eat it, most of us do. I am told Carp are good, I will never know for certain. I can tell you Snake tastes like a mild fish. I didn't ask before I ate it. Snails taste like I thought it would, snails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Clean and season the carp. Place on oak board and broil for 20 minutes at 300 F. Then remove from oven and board. Throw carp in trash and eat the board. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 You forgot the Hickory Chips on the board Art! Gotta mask the taste of the fish when eating the board. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 An Apple or Hickory plank will improve the taste, of the board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) I've seen this done twice, both times deep fried at the table. 1st time was Toronto not Taiwan, the second time was in Osaka, at our table. Great way to clear a table of a bunch of Canadians. The Japanese hosts were mortified by some of the guys reactions. Now if I was going to eat Carp this is the way to do it, mmmmmmmmmmm!!!
