Asian carp taste good?

[mhall]

so far we have gotten a 1,000 views so I'm guesing others are intrested in eating these fish it is just going to be the question of who is going to be the first on here to do it.

Riverrat (Chuck) and I have caught a few of these NASTY creatures on the river. They stink, they are slimy, they are completely disgusting and did I mention THEY STINK. They bleed if you look at them funny and THEY STINK. I'm telling you right now if I'm a stuck on a deserted Island with Skunks or those fish to eat, I pick the Skunk.

Pure NASTY and THEY STINK, LOL....

Man, I was thinking of tackling one but now, I don't know......and It is a TON of work to get 1-2 lbs of meat off a 20lb fish.......

I could starve to death before I got one prepared.......but Asian carp wings sure do look good

Most people have never tried carp and if they did they would be to proud to say "it was pretty good". My grandfather fried carp filets all the time when I was growing up. Along with crappie, bass, catfish, etc...We go to Florida every February for two weeks to fish at Lake Kissisimee. Another fish that people get weirded out on is "dog fish" or Chain Pickerel. These fish are tasty also. Are Carp or Chain Pickerel my favorite, heck no. Give me some crappie or walleye and i'm happier than a dog with two peckers. And some filets off a 2-4 pound bass ranks up there mighty close too.

I've actually ate regular common carp before and if prepared correctly it really wasn't that bad. But I AIN'T EATIN THAT NASTY ASIAN THING. It took Chuck three weeks to get the smell out of that boat. That thing made Doug Meyer smell good. It would have knocked a buzzard off an outhouse.

Did I mention they STINK..

I was wondering how long it would take to compare the stink of the carp to Doug. lol

You know someone said in an earlier post that this might be just some plot by kwfd to get us interested in those things. I mean Tim Farmer comparing it to crappie and bluegill? I was surprised at the size of the fish and no more meat than he got off it. I have yet to see one or be in any waters where they are. If they fight anything like a grass carp whow caddie-bar the door!

I hear you about the bleeding. My son and I had a big one jump in the boat about ten tears ago on the Mississippi. It jumped around from the front to the back and blood every wear. Took us an hour to clean it up. We had never heard of these things back then. A memorable experience.

And you all wondered why I got the Hardtop Raider :-)

I was all ways told if it looks like shzit smells like shzit then it is shzit no need to stick it in your mouth and taste it.. But it's killing me and i want to try it. If it is nasty I would let you know. I'm pretty picky when it comes to fish. I eat very little crappie because it is mushy.

I'm very curious myself. You know the people across the ocean really dig eaten carp.

they also eat dog, cat, and cow's rectum. Wanna try that too? I'm not arguing against trying carp but your logic

I'd try the carp in a heartbeat. Either you like it or you don't....simple as that.
