The whole disturbing part about the carp is this: Do they get tossed back into a lake somewhere for us to catch & eat?I don't necessarily want to know what those fish (any fish) were eating before they were on my plate.
Oh gawd, please tell me nobody here actually eats carp.
I personally have never eaten carp, but I hear that if the fish is cleaned properly it is quite good.
I've eaten carp. It's not my first choice, but it was pretty good.
To me that sounds a lot like saying "If a bum hole is cleaned properly it can be licked".
There is a mudvein in the meat that has to be removed. Once it has been removed there is nothing wrong with the meat. People who have eaten properly cleaned carp say it is quite good.
Do a google search for Carp recipes. There are lots of recipes for that fish so I would have to assume that there are plenty of people who disagree with you two.
