The Chinese and Germans like to eat carp. I wonder if there
is a way to prepare them that works. I know I want to catch
a few. I might even try eating one.....once anyway.

Our club here just had their carp fest. One of the things we had
after a long day of flailing at carp was carp cakes. Coming from
Maryland, you can understand my trepidation at ingesting a piscatorial
amous bouche coming from a non-Chesapeake bay beast. The carp cake
was AWESOME!
Evidently, the key with carp is to place them in a tub of fresh,
clean, aerated water for 5 days and feed them cornmeal. Then fillet,
strip out the bones and prep as you would for the crab cake.
There's a restaurant here called Joe Tess' Place that specializes in
carp. If any ROFFian is ever in town, I'll take 'em to lunch there.
It'll suprise you.
