What is everyone's take on catching and eating carp? or other "trash" fish for example? Me and a co worker were discussing cooking and eating wild meats (he grew up in the city and is fascinated with the concept hunting and eating game) and we got on the subject of fish and he brought up carp and asked if I've ever caught and eaten them. My only reply was that no, I've never used a rod and reel and chased carp, much less caught and eaten any as I was brought up being told they are a garbage fish and there are "better" fish to eat, like walleye and salmon (I grew up on Lake Ontario). But I mentioned how the sport was growing in the region, especially with tourists and some locals, but there was still this mental stigma that kept the majority of us from pursuing them, other than the odd foray into the marsh with bows in the summer.
So what is everyone's opinion? are carp "worthy" tablefare with a false reputation akin to snow geese (aka "Skycarp)?
