Never said I have ever eaten carp myself, I just provided a link and a recipe for anyone who may want to try it. Personally, no way in hell would I eat them or the fancy snails, no matter what name their tagged with. opcorn:MikePierce170 said:Speak for yourself Raincatcher. The "stigma" that's associated with them is there for good reason. Carp can thrive in nasty toxic waters and are bottom feeders to boot. Eating resident fish like this is ill advised in my opinion. There's a reason they post those signs at boat ramps warning about the bass and carp (among other fish). Unless they were raised in a very controlled environment there's no way in hell I'd eat one. Who am I kidding lol I wouldn't eat one even then. For people that eat them and enjoy it, great. But I won't be running that kind of risk.
