Some of what us Yanks do for fun. My neighbors usually divvy them up for fertilizer for their gardens, but we shoot so many thru the course of the summer that another freind has a private pond with bluegills and bass in it.
Heres how we recycle carp. Standard pallet with about 1 foot of 2x4 wire around it and the pallet on a block of styrofoam. Pile in the dead carp, after about a day or so of warm weather the thing begins like foaming maggotts and they're falling in the water. The bluegills and bass are eating live food for most of the summer (extremly fast growth rate) cause we shoot every chance we get. So now we've turned what I consider an absolute trash fish into tasty Bluegills. Myself in the green flannel and my friend Matt Lybeck in the white shirt Ken

Ken you have found a couple of good uses for carp. I have never gotten into shooting the things because I didn't know what to do with them. Used to shoot a lot of spade fish while fishing off shore, but we ate them. In the South they say you can fry anything and make it taste pretty good, but it doesn't work with carp!
 
You do know how to cook carp, don'tcha?

take the bottom of a broiler pan.....put a clean piece of cedar shake shingle in the pan,,,,,place a cleaned and scaled carp on the cedar....salt and pepper and maybe a little lemon juice, garlic, or onion.

Set the oven to bake at 375 degrees and pre-heat....place the pan in the oven and cook 20 minutes for each pound of carp.....take it out of the oven.....remove the carp......eat the cedar shingle.....:D

Seriously, I've eaten pickled carp and it was darn good...especially as an hor'de orderve (I butchered that spelling)....and washed down with real cold beer, or gin or vodka martini on ice.:thumbup:

Think about it pickled carp....home made turtle soup so thick you could almost eat it with a fork, morels fried in lard in an iron skillet, maybe a salad,
maybe fried potatoes, homemade hot apple pie done by my wife's Grandmother Canada.......GOD does occasionally put Heaven on Earth....a meal like that with family proves the HE does!

I started bow fishing carp(again) a week ago. Great fun! Your idea of recycling is by far the best one i have seen yet. They make the maters big and juicy too. :D
 
John I think you got the order wrong about the pickled carp. You drink a six-pack, 2 or 3 gin & tonics, and 3 or 4 vodkas on a little ice then try the carp, while someone holds a gun on you. Then you hold the gun on him and make him try it. Same plan works for mud fish or bowfin. :D Use the carp to feed the bream, then eat the bream.:thumbup:
