*** GHETTO SURVIVAL: I just caught two carp and decided to keep them.
Where I live, this Asian carp has been taking over the river connecting two lakes. Apparently there is no limit on how many you can catch and if you don't mind the bones can be eaten.

I decided to balance nature out and catch a couple. Two in 30 minutes. They were pretty big, put up a bit of a fight.

Took them home, cleaned them and marinated them for 30 minutes in a wine/soya/ginger/garlic/chili sauce. Then cut up fresh ginger, garlic, onions and braising them in the oven.

If they taste good enough, I will save some money on meat and eat more muddy carp, mind you I can catch some other fish there like fresh water salmon and rainbow trout.

When the SHTF I know I can at least eat grubby carp now.

+1 survival skill.

EDIT: These are NOT Asian carp... they are Cyprinus carpio carpio which is the common carp and it was a nasty survival experiment.

-1 will to live.

Next time, I will try insect larva instead. Gotta work on mah ghetto survival skills!

An acid will help with the fishy smell and taste. A small amount of vinegar, lemon or lime works well.

if you are going to even entertain the thought of eating carp then you need to put them in tanks, change the water fresh every day for 30 days....

Throw away carp and eat brick. Enjoy.

Well, they definitely have a unpleasant texture to them, and the taste isn't really noticeably bland really but I admit there is a disgusting feeling just eating it. You know you are eating a shitty bottom feeding fish that probably has some nasty toxins and other crap in it.

At least it's not off the shore of Fukushima.

My opinion, this is one disgusting fish to even attempt to eat. Have to force flavor into it and it needed to be cut with soya sauce after cooking before I could even begin to like a flavor I could recognize.

Not the kind of fish I would eat unless survival depended on it, but one has to try what options are available.

I'll wait until the SHTF before I even consider eating another piece of this disgustingly grotesque bottom feeding garbage fish!

My cats however are in for a treat!

They were fairly big, probably close to two pounds. A worm and corn.

Fun to catch but would really need to be desperate to eat them, not my kind of fish when I know far taster fish are out there also.

Had a nice rainbow trout last week and it was awesome.

He's talking about asian carp, which aren't bottom feeders. They eat plankton, algae, insects, and they are a clean fish, very tasty and sought after in asia.

Many people just assume any CARP is dirty nasty fish but this is not the case.

Carp don't eat poo.

They eat plankton, algae, aquatic vegitation and grasses, insects and insect larvae, and mussels.

That's the other problem, high probability the fish have worms although cooking the crap out of them will kill anything parasitic.

You are still likely eating some worm in the meat even if it's dead and that's a gross thought.

However, this was a survival test more then anything. I am testing certain area for edible plants and foods in my local area. Want to be more aware of what options are there if everything goes tits up.

It still wasn't something that I am used to flavor wise, and these are Asian carp for sure, so not the other type that we can catch here which are the grey bottom feeders that I would never eat to save my life.

I really didn't like this fish much but that also could be texture and recipe.

That said, it's on my survival list now just in case. It's an easy to catch food source here thanks to the take over.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

Cyprinus carpio carpio is the species I caught, found a picture of it on that wiki and it certainly eats what he says.

Lots of damn bones, have to descale and white soft flesh. Probably really need a better recipe the one I tried is not convincing me of any future efforts to experiment.

Asian carp are extremely popular in asia. I have had it several times. The flesh is white and somewhat firm. It benefits greatly from brining overnight if it is from a muddy waterway. This is a general hint for any fish from muddy or silty water.
