I'm glad you tried fried carp. We lived on carp and buffalo fish back in the 1950's and 1960"s. After we learned to filet and score the slabs, they were much better to eat. I'm thinking my Dad scored the pieces much closer together, maybe every 1/8 inch apart. The bones cooked better and basicly disappeared. Might try that sometimes. Great teaching video as usual.
You are correct. Americans will attach themselves to all kinds of things. All based on hearsay. 🤦🏻♀️ just ask how many eat sheep, goat, bison or duck on the regular. All of which are superb. I have had adults refuse to try lots of dishes 😏🫣 while their kids love it 😮 the children are more open that the parent 🤔🤫 🤦🏻♀️ Americans 😂
My grandmother Ladd would have folks in Atchison KS bring her the carp they had caught so she could cook it for them. She would score them and cook them in hot grease and all the small bones would just cook up. Making it a much better eating fish.
I like to catch 15-20 pound carp from the local lake..filet them on spot,sashimi it..and eat with my friends..probably has parasites but we drink 75%-80% moonshine with it,so it kills everything
I just discovered your channel 2 weeks ago. I love everything about it. I watch a lot of these catch and cook shows and you’re my current favorite. I loved the red mushroom episode. I’ve eaten many but I’ve been scared off in recent years. You have me on the fence now. I love them. I think that is very similar to morales and much easier to find.
I have caught plenty of carp over the years but never have eaten them. It's something I want to try myself. Despite that, these fish put up one helluva fight.
For Y bones. Or any type of fish bones. Just keep a plate of buttered white bread on the table. Anyone swallos a bone. Simply take a bite of bread and swallow. The bread will take the bone with it. ( White bread is more gummy and sticky onece chewed and swallowed. So it's a better bread for this specific purpose. But wheat bread can work as well as hush puppies. This was the original purpose of having hush puppies with fish.
I've seen that video he was talking about with all the seasonings. He was NOT stretching the truth one bit! That guy put heaping spoonsful of 10 or 12 different spices and stewed it up in a pan..
Scale in an old washtub. Cover the fish with about 3-4 inches of water. Scale come off but the water keeps the from flying all around the place. If you use fish emulsion in your garden dig a small trench (about the same effort as cleaning up crashlanded flying scales) and pour the scales into the trench. (Siphon off some of the water with a short hose-makes moving the tub easeir) OR hook up your big boiling pot, score the skin of the fish and dip the fish into the water like you were gonna pluck it like a chicken (don't try to cook the skin off just blanch it like a tomato or peach skin). Skin and scales will peel off easily. Deep fry full portion sized pieces. that way you don't create multiple smaller pieces of bone like cutting to bite size. I usually discard the dark and meat below the the dark because of fat. Carp is very good table fare. That said I have never eaten carp below 7 pounds.
Been eating carp for over 50 yrs. Clean good, cut of the fins', toss it in a pressure cooker cook until done.........Fish patties...best eating fish in the world; trash fish my asprin bottle.
I’m with you I saw that RUclips video too and with as much season as they put put on it, you probably could batter fry a turd and eat it and not know it….lol
First of all thanks for showing people how to score fish. I’ve watched other videos with carp and suckers, etc and no one has ever scored their fish then they complain about the bones. I’ve eaten carp many times smoked, pickled and fried just like you did. I like it best fried. Growing up on a farm where my grandparents and parents went through the depression almost any fish was fair game for eating.
Nice video and yes Americans need surprised like this because carp is one of the delicious fish in America, you frying in to much deep oil , next time use less oil and just frying one side in till get that brown color and turn on other side and that's it.
It shouldn't be that surprising that it's a great fish to eat if you know it's history. Back around 1877 the United States imported thousands of common carp as a food fish. Mainly because of the hundreds of thousands of European immigrants who complained to the government about the lack of carp in U.S. waters. We have Buffalo fish which can live over a hundred years. But common carp are a totally different species. There is no such thing as a Buffalo Carp. Anyway, carp in Europe was, and still is in some countries, a celebration fish. For every holiday or special occasions. Carp was the centerpiece of the celebration Meal. It's like how we think about whole Turkey. It's a fascinating story. Just Google the history of the common carp here in the United States. You'll be surprised.
In Asia as well, particularly in southern china carps are farm fishes. In China there are 4 big farm fishes: big head carp, silver carp, grass carp and black carp. They are a lot cheaper than other farmed sea fishes and thus are eaten as a staple.
man it sounds like you cutting into a carrot? lol yeah not many ppl eat carp i think also because of all the bones, jewish ppl like em , even suckers i thought were not edible as me and my dad used to catch them then give em to our in-laws to eat like testing them on guinea pigs hahah but they said they were tasty and now after all these years thx to yt i see many ppl do fish and eat em, so was that milk you soak them in for the breading to adhere?
As far as i know its the immage of poor mans food that got the Carp its trash fish immage. But the romans transported them alive over thousends of miles over land just to eat them. ( They are not native all over europe they got brought to western europe from the ukraine area )
There is a hand cranked maschine you can use to up the bones even more and some people season it with lemonjuice andvput it in the fridge to destroy the bones even more.
Thanks first. But you could please the wife, and save a marriage, by removing the least amount of scales, just where you need to cut, fillet,(by the way, there is a BONELESS FILLET ON THE BELLY!! look at the mussel structure, cut BELOW the fine Y )bone line! Wonderful fish.
hahaha about that guy who put so much spices and curry on the carp, might as well have been on leather shoes and they would still taste good,, now was that the one with catfishncarp where he visits an indian buddy who cooks him the carp back at his place with his wife and baby kid there?
Luke also has another video where he grills carp over a campfire with salt and pepper, because he wants to cook in a way that will allow him to taste more of the carp.
Lol yes it is….it is literally how he did it. And what do you know, they then fried it…sat down as a little family there at the table and successfully ate it, too. Oh my goodness how did it magically work out like that?!? It is as if there is more than one way to do something *GASP*

One of the biggest problems we have today is that people believe everything they hear. Carp is not trashy or nasty. It's just fish.

Started bleeding by cutting the gills a couple of years ago. Makes a huge difference, even on pan fish!
"The other carp are just going crazy!". Yea. DON'T TAKE PHIL!!!
i love the carps and suckers.
The one's that stand on the corner hanging around the liquor store is probably better than the ones that come out of fresh water.
Man, you have a nice place on the river! Living the dream. God bless!
Thanks 👍
Looking forward to the pressure canning video. Really am enjoying your videos!
You can boil it, bake it, fry it, saute it, or you can try to feed to a dog or cat, but they will get angry and attack you.
My grandmother Ladd would have folks in Atchison KS bring her the carp they had caught so she could cook it for them. She would score them and cook them in hot grease and all the small bones would just cook up. Making it a much better eating fish.
Been throwing these back. Gotta try this myself! Looking forward to the pressure cooking video.
Good catch n cook! I enjoy the non gamefish videos, aint no bad fish just gotta know what to do with um.
You got that right!
I am the ninth child in my. Family that grew up near the Neosho River in Kansas. We 17:51 ate a lot of carp as a children. Good eats!
I like to catch 15-20 pound carp from the local lake..filet them on spot,sashimi it..and eat with my friends..probably has parasites but we drink 75%-80% moonshine with it,so it kills everything
Good size carp. Fillet, batter and deep fry is one way oriental people cook them. I think it’s a flaky white meat.👍👍👍🌶️🌶️
We used to cook carp like French fries 🍟😊
That young man , has a gold mine of information sitting there with him , grand pa
Great video. Canned carp is also great. They make carp candy up north here in WI
So refreshing to cook fish normally and not put so much seasoning on it !
😂😂Hello from Switzerland. Where are you living? It's a very beautiful place. See you in a next vidéo 📹 😊
Live in Southwest Missouri US

Holy cow is that why they always served white bread with buffalo ribs when I visited Branson?
Love the videos! Keep them coming!

That's what a curry is. Lots of spices.
recently found your channel and love the content! Keep up the good work.
Welcome aboard!

Dang. I just caught one about 6-7 lbs. yep shoulda kept it
Love your videos, just bought a pound prowler 8 and going to do some crappy fishing. Have not fished in so long.
Basically you’re eating a large goldfish.
Been eating carp for over 50 yrs. Clean good, cut of the fins', toss it in a pressure cooker cook until done.........Fish patties...best eating fish in the world; trash fish my asprin bottle.
👍 thanks for doing your reviews and keep them coming please.
I caught my first one of the year yesterday
I’m with you I saw that RUclips video too and with as much season as they put put on it, you probably could batter fry a turd and eat it and not know it….lol
Nice catch , good video!
My daughter's favorite fish to eat. Great video

Carp is my favorite fish to eat
My too,but here in north America looks me that they don't like good fish!

So interesting. Thank you.
Very entertaining awesome video 🎉🎉🎉
Glad you enjoyed
This is a long shot but is that the James River? I used to live in the area and it looks familar.
While station in Germany I ate carp baloney fried and not bad
In Azerbaijan and other countries around that area.. They raise and eat carp as a staple in thier diet
In Asia as well, particularly in southern china carps are farm fishes. In China there are 4 big farm fishes: big head carp, silver carp, grass carp and black carp. They are a lot cheaper than other farmed sea fishes and thus are eaten as a staple.
Best way is to skip scalling, and just skin the carp. Both sides. Then let's see what you do next.
man it sounds like you cutting into a carrot? lol yeah not many ppl eat carp i think also because of all the bones, jewish ppl like em , even suckers i thought were not edible as me and my dad used to catch them then give em to our in-laws to eat like testing them on guinea pigs hahah but they said they were tasty and now after all these years thx to yt i see many ppl do fish and eat em, so was that milk you soak them in for the breading to adhere?
Yes. I like to put them in milk. It seems to make breading cling better.
@@meandyououtside k thx
Why don't you cut steps into the bank so you would not have a hard time getting the fish you catch .
I do have steps just a little bit further downstream. Thanks for watching.
As far as i know its the immage of poor mans food that got the Carp its trash fish immage. But the romans transported them alive over thousends of miles over land just to eat them. ( They are not native all over europe they got brought to western europe from the ukraine area )
There is a hand cranked maschine you can use to up the bones even more and some people season it with lemonjuice andvput it in the fridge to destroy the bones even more.
What do you use for your beading mix?
I love Zatarains. Best ever. By the gallon at Sam's or you can get it online. Put fillets in milk first.
Show how to bleed a fish
What is the purpose ?
You can watch a previous video "Bleed or not to Bleed Catfish" Thank you for watching.
Thanks first. But you could please the wife, and save a marriage, by removing the least amount of scales, just where you need to cut, fillet,(by the way, there is a BONELESS FILLET ON THE BELLY!! look at the mussel structure, cut BELOW the fine Y )bone line! Wonderful fish.

@@BryanWhite77 luke is the guy with catfishncarp ch?
@@ARCSTREAMS Yes.
Can you remove all the skin.and just cook it like you would catfish ?
Yes. Check out the video "Carp vs. Catfish".
This is not how you clean and cut up a carp.
You may be right....But it was still good.
Thanks for watching.
Lol yes it is….it is literally how he did it. And what do you know, they then fried it…sat down as a little family there at the table and successfully ate it, too.
Oh my goodness how did it magically work out like that?!? It is as if there is more than one way to do something *GASP*
I like the belly meat u didn't eat
Carp is very bland, but if you like it, great 😃
You gotta season it.
