Great video! Next time James, you might consider cutting the head off and cut the body into two pieces and use a flat rock. It will be easier to manage. By cooking it on a flat rock you might even stuff the inside with some green onions, etc and then tie them shut with some twine. It might be interesting to sandwich it on spit sticks and cook it just above the coals on forked sticks.
Once again dude great video. I'm primarily watching your videos because you come from a different environment and a different time frame than I and so far my interest in your videos are paying off . Keep um coming dude !
I have eaten fish considered trash fish, and fish is fish to me. Catfish is a trash fish as well to many folks, but its also loved. lol. Thanks for the vid man, ATB.
It is good to see that you find carp ok to eat. I have never tried it but some chefs in NSW, Australia consider it an OK fish to eat and as you pointed out carp have a lot of bones and it might be somewhat bland and so needs some spices as you point out. I have never tasted carp myself. I someone in San Diego say that carp is killing the local native fish. The same thing is happening in rivers in NSW, Australia where the carp are muddying the river waters and causing damage to the river system and the native fish stocks are dwindling. An industry exists utilising this carp to make a fish fertiliser, "Charlie Carp", is the leading fish fertiliser in Australia and I use it as a fertiliser in my garden. The rivers in my state of Western Australia don't have carp as far as I know, but given the chance I would definitely try it. In Chinese culture serving carp is a symbol of prosperity and it is customary to serve the whole fish last at banquets
in Indonesia, carp's head is considered a delicacy. It really delicious with "gulai" soup (like curry but without curry leaf). Really good stuff. And fried catfish is staple in here. Very delicious if you marinate it with water and generous amount of salt.
I love your Snake Eater references. Also I am moving to AZ soon, and have been day dreaming of the adventures I will have in the most biodiverse place on earth. Thanks brother
if you love our snake eater refrences be sure to check out this video ,wehre i dress up ass snake adn cook a rattlesnake lol ruclips.net/video/WdvLLei1xew/видео.html
we in Germany eat a lot of carp, i´m a carpangler myself. In a pool or some muddy pond, these fish taste muddy, but catch them in a river, they taste clean most of the time. if you want to get rid of the muddy taste, just "water" them. you put them in a clean water barrel or watever, alive! let them swim for one or two days and they don´t taste that muddy anymore. we eat them mostly with a breadcrumb coating and fried in a pan or deep fry it.
@@JunkyardFox Hi, just take the scales of and clean everything out like you did. we have mirror carps here, they only have a few scales on the body, yours looked more like a wild carp or a common carp. you can filet it or just quarter it, salt and pepper, swipe it through flour, then mixed up egg and then breadcrumps and just frie it up Best wishes Robert
I've had carp a few times, mixed and cooked in a baked pie dish with potato, sour cream and onion (good) and smoked... not as good but ok, never tried roasting it lol. You know for cleaning heavy skinned and scaled critters I have often thought of buying a pair of EMT shears, a good pair goes for less than 10 bucks and they cut about anything and are pretty light weight.
Great Video. Thank you. I have never considered eating a Carp, but now am very willing to try. A little lemon and Who Doesn't carry some spices in their vehicles.
Cool video! I just found your videos and have watched several….you bring a different view than most other folks…really making me think about my own survival kits. Thanks James!!!
Good video James. My recipe for muddy fish is cook in milk, that will get rid off the muddy taste. Add garlic and fresh dill to the milk. If you try it tell me what you think of it. Take care.
Carp is often misjudged about their taste by the water they're found in, I'm told. In northern Utah, if they're caught from a clear lake or stream you've got a yummy meal. I've only eaten them and not caught them. My boys love catching them. Pretty good. The bigger the better, as far as bones go. Less likely to swallow bones from a large carp.
Desert fox 🦊 you are okay good south ing soft music. Myself I injoy the desert sounds mix a little soft flute music in it once in awhile . Cooking ok Cary a little tin foil, use your fork an spoon you had .
I haven’t watched your videos in a while but the overall audio is fantastic. Great catch, I’ve never caught carp but I’ve seen some huge ones by the shore on cold mornings.
I wish I was as knowledgeable about fish as you are. I'm from Minnesota and we have so many fish and lakes obviously, it's a huge skill I lack - kind of embarrassing! For a Minnesotan fish are survival food 101. Suppose this is the year I'll learn!
one step at a time buddy! if you have a freiend that can take you to a good spot, or ggogle a local lake, then just get a simple 25 dollar rod and some worms, im sure theres a ton of trout and bass in your region
@@JunkyardFox yeah my city alone has 3 lakes and hundreds of small ponds, and 3 rivers. Fish everywhere. What I see people catching the most are Northern, Bass, Sturgeon, or Perch.
Hey great video, I went and bought the ONTARIO MARINE RAIDER BOWIE and took it in the backyard for some heavy chopping and chipped the blade from the tip to about an inch down the blade !!! They are using a 1080 carbon steel now instead of 1095 carbon steel.I don't know if it is the steel or a bad grind? What do you think?
Catfish is huge in Texas, and it's a bottomfeeder and bland as hell. Carp can't be less flavorful. Enough seasoning will make anything edible haha. Also, shouldn't you spit it, even if you lay it right on the coals? You wouldn't burn your hands that way :)
Carp....A true Asian cuisine! Evertime I pull one of those or a tilapia out I get bombarded by the Asians on the dock and give them away. Nice cookout! Atb Sean
I'll tell you the best way to prepare carp. Get an oak board, lay carp on board along with lettuce and tomato and whatever else you like, bake at 350° for 30 mins. Take the board out, throw away the carp and eat the board! 👍
Good video sir wonder if you could put natural plants from the desert inside as seasoning such as sage prickly pear or maybe some of those cattails roots and chiltepin
Carp and catfish get a bad rap because they are bottom feeders but for me fish is fish some have more bones. Pigeon is another food source that gets a bad rap but tastes delicious same as dove.
yeah people are weird, theyll eat absolute garbage from taco bell, which contains the nutritional content of cardboard but oh my god, they wont eat a fish lol
Great video! Really enjoyed it! If I may make a suggestion though. Safety tip, never cut towards yourself. When you were cutting the fish open, you were angling the knife towards your hand and cutting in that direction. All it takes is that knife to slip and nick your wrist and that's it. So please be more careful next time. But again, great video!!!
Hey JunkYard Fox, really enjoy watching your videos. I am from Texas myself. El Paso area to be precise. I got to know man, where do you go fishing exactly. I would love to try out those fishing spots where you film your videos.
If you can catch bigger ones... what i call bullgill, they are delicious flaky white meat. Some of the best tasting fish.. usually they are too small and so most use them for bait.
@@JunkyardFox cool! Any interest in doing more of a lesson/guide service for me and my little brother? Probably less work than planning an actual class, and happy to pay cash. If you are interested let me know how to get in touch.
I've been hunting carp since I was a teenager because they're a non game species in Texas so I'm able to legally pole spear them underwater. The only downside to Carp is that pesky extra set of ribs that are difficult to eat around without getting tiny bones in your mouth. I want to experiment with pressure cooking them to see if I can simply cook it whole, softening the bones. Anyone else have experience pressure cooking a whole fish?

@@tomcatt1824 same here.
Probably cause in the wild u need as much food as possible
One day spices will be worth more than gold. I ALWAYS have a spice kit on me. I carry spices in my edc bag, 8-10 different ones. Let the haters hate.😊
These catch and cook videos are great, please do more :)

As a Mexican it would be great with lemon , Salsa and some tortillas =)
As a white guy, that sounds pretty good.

Great stuff, glad you tackled the magicarp. It really isn’t bad
Also the kansbol is amazing

Kansbol is the best knife for game prep or camp cooking!
Carp has the same bad rap as Pigeons do, eventhough they're in the Dove family! Great video, thanks.
I agree with you.

best game ever!

Oh yeah I’m sure if your area has wild edibles, you can make a feast out of this
im planning a trip to az soon to visit my lil brother n do some survival camping any areas u can suggest for good fishing
im in west texas, buddy.
I’m local in El Paso, I don’t know if you do meet and greets, or maybe day survival outing. Like a junkyard fox community
perhaps we can, im super busy with videos and projects this month but its a possibility for the future

i try fishing on the west side, past sunland park where the river is, if not then ill try ascarate lake when i know theyve recently stocked
Ive yanked in some pretty big carp.. 20+lbs but never ate one before. I too am a catfish guy but i also love trout and bluegill

Ive found that most of the claims people have about wild foods are false. You are right, most times they have never tried it.
