RE: carp
I kill a lot of them bowfishing too, but I usually just give them to the catfish fishermen on the way out. If you want to cook them, those guys tell me they fry them up like crappie or any other white-fleshed fish. I had one guy tell me that he rolls the meat up into balls, batters the balls, and then fries them. Sounded horrible to me, but he swore by it. The meat can be hard to get off of them because they have huge ribs so you'll have to skin them first. Good luck with this, and let us know how they turn out if you actually cook some.
