Folks.........they are dayam GOOD........seriously. I've harvested them and they are tasty.

I talked to a guy that said they are so plentiful that he has no problem wasting fish when cleaning them.

From what I understand, he just takes the "ribs, and the tail piece that is boneless. Look on the net for how to clean them, and you will find a million videos. Here is what I've done and what seems to work.

* from the last fin back on the tail, all that meat is boneless. Take that, and clean all the red meat off. This is FANTASTIC stuff.

* Filet through the bones past the ribcage like you'd filet anything. Then look down the ribcage. on the big ones, you can see the rib bones. cut parallel to those bones.

* No matter how to cut it up or hack it up.......clean off all the red and grey meat. That crap is disgusting ) .

* One guy calls these cuts carp-wings, but I talked to a guy that calls them carp popcicles. He takes those 2 x 2 cuts, and deep fries them. Then he eats them like a popcicle. Says they are FANTASTIC.

Take a few, and try it.

Later,
