I'm not much of a fisherman, but years ago my grandfather mentioned they were gross and had me toss it back.
The reason I'm posting this is because I recently had a talk with my dad about this experience and and a lot of Asian American settlers at the time would stock the lakes with carp... so it's possible that this is true.
Idk, I'm rambling, but I'm wondering what peoples' opinions are on the fish.

When I was a kid (I’m 67 now) I caught a big carp and asked my grandpa if they were good to eat. He smiled wryly and said, “Sure. I’ll give you the recipe. You go out in the field and you get yourself a pile of cow s**t. You stuff the carp with the s**t, wrap it in foil and stick it in a 400 degree oven for half an hour. You take it out, unwrap it, eat the cow s**t and throw away the carp.”
