I was wondering about asians and eating the carp fish.Is it poor people’s food or just anyone might eat them? I pretty much only see asians deliberately fishing for them. I remember a nice acquaintance saying it was good for soup. Maybe Flu or AN can say so?

Last week we caught 4 of them totaling around 25 pounds One was pretty big, around 10 pounds.It really wasn’t convenient to give them to anyone , like it would be if I lived in the city. They ended up getting buried in the vegetable garden.

Carp fish soup is good. Also, deep fried fish with rice is great too.

I was reading that it is not really bad, just super boney. I tried to filet one , that was chore….very tough bones but the meat looked good.

When we eat fish, we don’t filet the fish. We tend to just cook the whole fish in the pot of soup. Either cook the whole thing or chop it up into 3-4 chunks. Then you can pick at the meat as you eat. I prefer eating fishes with tough bones vs small wimpy bones. Much less likely to choke on the bones.

Thanks AN, does the carp make good soup if the chunks have been stored in the freezer or does it have to be fresh?

But if you freeze, it’s up to you to decide whether the meat is still good enough or not (I’m not picky so I think so), but at the very least, you can you to fish itself to make the soup base. Then, if you think the meat isn’t good enough, you can use shrimp as another seafood to go into your soup to eat.

It’s about the loser Asian son in a traditional family who talks like a gangsta and thinks he’s on the verge of an NBA career even though he only plays little kids and how he grows up.

I kinda loved it after a few days of pondering I t!
