How to clean Asian (Silvers, Bigheads)Carp brochure. http://www.illinoisbowfishers.com/asiancarpchops.pdf

Great pictorial by Gary Allen, Casey Allen, Paige Allen and Joe Kessler.

This method uses the meaty rib chops. If you've got a big pile of bigheads or silvers, this is a great way to clean them.

It's not just for asian carp, we also clean buffalo and grass carp the same way! were going to fry some up after the fishing fair in grafton saturday. curt mcmurl with usfws wants me to put on demonstrations throughout the day at the fish cleaning station and will have copies of the pamplet available!

Curt told me he printed up a thousand of the pamplets. It's kind of funny because I sent him that same pdf file so he'd print it out for us. You're going to be famous.

I'm bringing a mess of black carp using carptracker's bone-in method to fry up after the fair. The grass carp I brought went fast last year. the black carp I don't like as much, but still good.

Those darn black carp were just too big. I'm feeling bad about giving them to you, after I tried one myself. The small black carp are great - not much difference from grass carp. I'm eating ceviche de carpa herbivora (grass carp ceviche) tonight. YUM!

hey, everyone loved them at the fry a couple weeks ago. Just that I'm used to grassies and silvers.
