Ed, you ever try eating them ?
Reason I asked, is I know of a place in Foster where the water is prestine.I like eating fresh local food....
One more fun fact... Most people don't even know that the Blackstone is one of the most renown Carp waters in the entire country.Ed
They are like most any fish it all in how you care and prepare them carp have to be kept cool cleaned as quickly as possible they don't freeze well fillet them out then on the front end of the fillet there is a dark piece of meat that is their lateral line remove that and season and cook it like you like it Ed
I don't remember how it was prepared but do remember it had a unique taste, not bad in any way. Just different.
When I was a kid, my father used to bring home a pond raised carp as part of our Christmas eve dinner. I don't remember how it was prepared but do remember it had a unique taste, not bad in any way. Just different. I was small then (so the fish looked huge)but they would probably be 6-8 lbs live weight. My father was Polish from the old country and told me it was a traditional Christmas meal. This went on for a few years until his source for the pond raised fish dried up. FM
