I just found this video. I’ve eaten carp all my life. My dad’s parents are from Czech. He taught me how they cooked it back in the old country. My favorite way is get about a 5-10 pounder. Fillet n cut out mud vein. Leave in big chunks. Roast w whole tomatoes cabbage garlic onion n some basic other Italian seasoning. Cook on low for several hours. Bones become like canned salmon soft n easily eaten. Meat tastes like mild beef. Great w mashed potatoes or homemade black bread.

I knew a old guy years ago that would catch carp and he had a flowing well with a big steel tank to collect the water. He would put the carp in it and feed them canned corn for about a week, then clean and cook them. They tasted as mild as bluegill or perch, the corn cleaned the mud taste out of them.

It 100% matters where you got the carp from. If they feed by filtering through silt and mud, they aren't going to taste very good. Carp that mostly feed easily in gravely, rocky areas taste much better.

Carp is eaten quite a bit in Europe during the holidays. Very traditional meal for many. Over in Wisconsin they make lots of smoked or dried Carp and even jerky. Great vid!

I’ve grown up eating carp, it doesn’t taste bad at all, I honestly think it tastes better then trout. The only problem with carp is the amount of bones in it. Carp is an awesome fish for like soups and if you are able to fillet the fish then it’s super flaky and delicous

Carp is one of those fish that taste like their habitat imo. If you fishing in a muddy lake, it's gonna taste like mud. If it's caught in a clean lake or stream it's gonna be a lovely fish.

I'm Romanian, and carp is the most popular fish here. It is commonly found on the menu at most seafood restaurants, usually served fried with a garlic sauce and polenta. You can also find it in most Eastern European countries.

Carp were farmed for food by monks during the middle ages, and in some countries in Eastern Europe they eat carp for Christmas dinner. Top tip - You can make any unpaletable fish taste better if you smoke it.

Ate carp a ton when in Vietnam. Dish fish hold up well to a longer cook time. Especially coated and doubled fried like chicken. Some of the best dishes I have has was a guy who would just cook tons of this every money with the first fry. Come back with the 2nd fry when it was ordered. Then would use a wok to cover in the sauces he had. The best was a singapore crab chili sauce, a coconut curry, and one that tasted just like general tsos

Never been a fan of eating carp but catching em is sooooo much fun! They put up such a good fight on lighter line. Biggest carp I've caught was 25 pounds on 12 pound mono line. That big momma took me 1 hour and 30 min to bring in.

Best part of this video is how close this family is. All sat around and ate this sus fish

In Hungary, that carp (especially the variant with very few scales) is THE fish, for traditional fish meals, most importantly fish soup. It's the only fish most supermarkets offer live from a tank (now they must kill it before selling) and most people cook soup from it during the holdiay season.

Really enjoyed this episode. It was a little different, with the cooking aspect as well as involving your awesome siblings. It would be nice to see more like this.

Carp was originally brought over from Europe to be an abundant food source. Then we discovered walleye lol
-
"I've had catfish that taste worse than that." That's a sin to say in my family buddy. 🤣
-
Enjoyed your video. Very good description of the taste of carp from various members of your family. What a lovely close family of brother and sisters.
-
My grandma tells me, that cooking carp is simple if you want it to taste good. They threw the meat in a pressure cooker, which separates the bones, and she compares it to the taste of salmon. So this is not a trashy fish in anyway by far.
-
You should definitely make more catch and cooks, they are really interesting!
-
Interesting and informative. I've eaten carp done as whole crispy fish Chinese style, and had it smoked (sable fish) from a deli. In the middle ages, Carp was a common species in farmed fish ponds.
-
If coming from a muddy river or lake, I like to let the carp sit in fresh clear in a bucket. Odds are anyways where I fish, it's going to still be alive and I can put it in my big trough at home and let it swim in the clear water. Clear water carp is amazing
