Re: Anybody else deal with Asian carp?
i take it most didnt watch the vids lol. its not carp, tastes nothing like carp, is not red meat like carp, and the state biologists have already did tests on the fish and toxins are virtually non existant in them. (that was in the vids i posted before that most seemed to ignored) the fish guide i have shows it can be eaten once a week compared to carp that is one a month and do not eat over 18"
some just have the yuck stuck in there heads. thats fine with me more i get to eat lol. this fish flesh is comparable to crappie or walleye. nothing like common carp. its good its safe. im all over it. yes it really is a redneck dream come true. take all ya want.
this was asian i fried up for a fish fry. there were 13 people there. EVERYONE of them preffered it over catfish. even my 5 year old picky eater liked it as well as my cousins 6 year old daughter.
baked
say what ya want. theres no trying this 12 times to see if ya like it. if you like bass crappie youll like this. its fishiness taste on a 1-10 scale and 1 being not fishy 10 being the worst this stuff is a 1-2 tops. putting catfish about 6.
and YES they do jump without electro shock. i got these with my cousin in the bath shoot just south of havana. they either jumped in the boat or was caught in mid air by me with a dip net. we had a 2008 grizzly tracker with a 40hp 4 stroke. they were jumping all around us. you havent been in a school till you see for yourself.
this fella doesnt have any special equiptment. dought he could afford much more than a 12 pack of schlitz. in the peoria area you might not see it like this with the width of the river and them being spread out. go to bath havana area. and you will find out theres nothing special you need to do but drive your boat and youll be dodging these. they are disturbed but the vibrations of the motor. sertain rpms and motors can cause mor of a disturbance and ive been told the 2 strokes get them going better but my cousins 4 stroke had lots jumping. like this guy. they look weird and have slime like all fish. but nasty??? not on a plate. what there doing to our eco system??? thats nasty. but the more that eat these the more that will dissappear. i think its totally stupid to send them to asia. they should be on american supermarket shelves. but most wont buy it. change the name. once more try it it will be a hit. there had to be the first guy to pinch his nose and eat a raw oyster. and there were thousands saying your stupid and gross. look now. hell try it. if you dont like it spit it out. 99.9% that like fish wont either. thell be asking for some tarter and seconds.
how i wound up trying it was a friend of mines grandfather has a fish fry every fall. and he gets his catfish from a commercial fisherman in hudson il. a couple years ago the guy said im gonna let ya have 10 lbe of this asian carp for folks to try. he told him he could buy all the catfish he wanted but 10 of the asian was all he was letting go. said his costomers at his restraunt loved it. then he procedded to tell me that the family ate the entire 10 lbs of the asian before they even went for the catfish. so i said hell i want to try that. now i too love it.
dont knock something till ya try it. and saying ive eaten carp and didnt like it is like saying i hate beef cause i didnt like lettuce. theres no comparison to these fish and carp. i could call a bird a motorcycle. but that doesnt mean it is. these fish are in no way related to carp. its just the name they were given.
