hmm, carp actually doesn't sound so bad after all. most americans think that they are trash fish, i disagree because they are so similar to Koi which as you probably know are treasured in some asian cultures... hmmm just a thought though

I don't think their is any such thing as a trash fish, at least in my opinion - seems like some creatures got a bad wrap and it just gets passed on from one generation to another. If there are any true trash fish I would say it would probably be the hatchery fish, of any species...Just my opinion

I think carp have a bad rep, just like back in the days when lobster was the poor mans food. Later carp will be $$$ by the pound...haha.

It's hard to kill these guys though...with those eyes staring at you...sigh...

yeah, maybe carp will be expensive someday, and i do agree with you troutski, the only "trash" fish would be hatchery fish. well they're not even "trash" fish, they're just a different, i want to say breed but they're not, umm it's like a courty person vs a city slicker, the slicker being the hatchery fish.
or something like that. i'm probably not making much sense. oh well.

I dunno if it's just me, but the willie is def fishier but from the columbia, it's actually tasty. Most people don't like carp cause they don't know how to clean it well(so it doesn't taste fishy), as well as cooking it the right way. But you know asians...cook with any and every kind of fish...haha. But if I cooked for you guys...you'd all think differently! You won't even know you're eating carp!

But anyhoo...I catch it strictly for my dad...cause he loves it...

Howdy Sister FishWomen..........................

if Carp are filleted they don't smell or taste fishy if prepared properly........i was told


i lived in Wisconsin fer a while. Some friends folks made Goulash with carp ( a thick soup with many vegetables )............i was a kid when i lived there. I didn't get a chance to taste it..............


i saw Koi fish for Sale on Craigslist.....................they are EXpensive..................:co nfused:..................

Haha...I actually have kois...and they are about a ft. I suppose their beauty is why they are so valuable. Plus fishes are suppose to mean wealth...so the more you have...the luckier you'll be when it comes to money. That's if you take care of them well and none die.

I think the best way to tell how a fish tastes is grill it...let it sit and then eat it cold. If you wouldn't eat it cold...you wouldn't eat it hot...haha...just my theory...
