Carp!

[Gellar]

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.

The Kampsville Inn in Kampsville Illinois used to have the best fried buffalo carp. People would travel from miles around. @buckbull is that place still open?

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

Never seen one. But, I mostly fish in the marsh and local lakes. Specs and redfish are mostly what I catch (and hardhead catfish).
