Title: cooking carp
Post by: pinkwool on July 09, 2004, 09:38:30 AM: Any good carp recipies? I do remember you have to soak fillets in milk for at least 1 hour (in the fridge) to get rid of bog smell. After that we usually dipped them into the butter (eggs and flour) and fried in vegetable oil.

Actually, after a quick googling I got a good link for fish recipes Fish Recipes (http://www.fishingnetwork.net/recipes.htm) This one suggests soaking carp fillets in buttermilk. Same idea.

but seriously, i thought that if you were keeping a carp for frying, that you kept it alive in a tank or barrel with circulating clean water and lots of oxygen. supposably the clean water and higher oxy count makes the fish expel toxins through the skin, this self cleansing is supposed to make the meat taste less "boggy"

Cook on low heat (we don't want it to stick). When it is about two-thirds cooked, dump a bunch of sliced up onion on top and around it and sprinkle with some soy sauce and then cover it and let it steam until the onions are tender. Eat. Watch out for those little y-shaped bones in the top half.

If you caught your carp in water you would be afraid to swim in, don't eat it.
