I've never eaten a carp and probably never will, is there anyone out there who has?, what are they like
We used to go hand fishing and catch gunney sacks full of them. Smoked they are quite tasty. Neighbor used to can carp, okay, but I preferred Smoked.

I've caught fresh water carp in the Susquehanna River in Harford Co. Maryland. I was talking to 2 guys who had a few carp and questioned them as to why they are keeping them. The said that they scale and gut them and cut them into pieces. They boil them until the flesh is falling off the bones. They then strain the meat and add Old Bay and a few other spices and make fish cakes out of them. Said they taste just like crab cakes. I had baked fresh water carp cooked in tomato sauce and it was OK. Had it only once. As kids we use to keep them and trade them for ice cream at a Jewish deli. That was a long time ago.

I've seen some really big ones come out of one of the bigger ponds i fish, maybe i'll give it a try, you say Wheaties mixed with a little water? and that will stay on the hook?

One of our group used to do the smoking, took the recipe to the grave as far as I know.

I love smoked fish, i guess i would try smoked carp why not but i'm usually a catch and release guy, unless i'm fishing the saltwater or if i get a bad hookup and there's a slim chance for survival.

I know what you mean some people just don't like sharing stuff. I'll find me a recipe online and then adjust it with the seasonings I like

The fish cakes sound good, sounds like something you could do with bluefish too

Never ate any but caught them a lot and release them. An older man was fishing them and said he grinds them up and make fish patties. Don’t recall what he added to it. 🌴😎🌴
