If you like bones. I consider eating Carp the same as eating liver. Why? I your starving then fine, I have tried them both and I guess I have been lucky I have never been that hungry.

Try anything once ( except puffer fish)

I used to catch them in the Milwaukee River just for the fight. Then kill them and leave them for the raccoons and skunks.

They make great trot line bait for blue cats

I used to enjoy shooting them with a bow, but I havent shot one since I learned to catch them on a fly rod.

They’re better sport than targets. Great way to drink a 6 pack when it’s too hot to do anything else. Need to find more to chase with the fly rod.

I’ve eaten them early in the spring. They are actually not bad, takes a lot to get them good though. Taking out bones, cutting out all the dark red fat and blood line.

You got plenty of them (https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/louisiana-carp-removal-program) and anything is edible for a Cajun.

If you only have a 6 pack what do you drink after you leave the boat ramp?

I mean, that is a fair question...

Boat ramp? I’m sitting under a shade tree with a can of corn. Then taking a nap.

But I’ve retired from case races.

My favorite fish to eat. No idea how to clean or cook them, but there’s always been a place or 2 around me that does. I’m going to go in search of carp for lunch or supper tomm just to document it

Nope, fried. There used to be a famous restaurant in Omaha called Joe Tess Place. They were famous for fried carp. Even made it on Diners, drive ins, and dives back in the day. There were a couple, other hole in the wall bars in Omaha that used to make it. Now they’re all closed but there’s a little fish place in my town that still serves it. I’ll put a link to their menu. Scroll down and you’ll see the fried carp. I grew up as a little kid with all my older family members going to Omaha on a big night out to eat carp. I had no idea till I became an adult that it was just a here thing and not normal to the rest of the population lol.
