I just saw this show for the first time "Bottom Feeders".It said they caught carp to take to New York so that they could be eaten.What do you do with carp(buffalo)?
We just shot them as trash fish in bow fishing tournaments.

Had a acquaintance years ago who was asked by his landlady, if he ever caught carp on his fishing trips.
He gave me an aside, and said that he was dumbfounded as he threw them up on banks after catching.
So the next trip, he gave the woman two carp. She returned later with fish cakes, cooked by the woman.
They were delicious. In the future he had someone to give the carp.

Just because we don't know, doesn't mean other people don't know.

I believe they are\were popular in Jewish cuisine. From what I hear they show up in a few of thje local Chinese buffets to.

Sounds good to me,thanks for the info.

Carp are pretty decent when smoked as well

They just get a bad wrap cause they destroy water ecosystems. They are quit good.

I use to catch them when I was a kid and take them and sell them to the fisheries when I was a kid for $0.32 a pound. They would then sell them to whoever wanted them. The carp had to be over 32# or they didn't want them. There was an old lady that loved getting them from me too.

I could have gota good buck for this one.

so any GOOD recipes?

My sons friend drops them off at the back door of a Chinese buffet, no I'm not kidding.
