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.
