Catch, Clean, Cook and Eat Carp | Removing "Muddy" Smell

[@turdbbburgersam4318]

I love this, we as humans most of us throw away so much food it's sad. Alot of things that people think are nasty are really tasty, some people need to realize that a lot of parts like eyeballs, stomach, eggs and others parts are more healthy than your cheese burger you get from any fast food places

[@corneliusoutdoors]

Thanks, buddy. Yes. That is very true. I prefer the head and intestines. How would you cook the eggs. I am very mindful of the cholesterol. So I cook them little by little.

[@georgeparrault9945]

At one time People didn’t throw anything away. People aren’t Hungry if they throw anything away.

[@SpringIsBACK]

Most Westerners will NOT eat fish eyes or fish guts unless truly desperate. (My Filipina wife eats the eyes, though!) It's ok, all the soft parts I don't eat are chowed down by our chickens! Such happy chickens!! Intestines can also be used as bait for catfish. 🙂

Carp are invasive here in Arizona, and most people catch or spear them and throw them away. I love carp and actually made ceviche from them and it was great. BUT, you are the master! I cannot believe how much of the carp you prepare and eat. I am humbled!!!! Great job on this video

[@corneliusoutdoors]

Thank you so much. The same here. I remember the first time I moved to Australia. I was cycling by a lake and I saw pile of carps left to rot. The smell and flies were bad. The park rangers are quite strict now. Most people bin their catch now. Master? Nahhhh. Still learning but yes, I have caught and ate hundreds for the last 5 year. No red meat. No seafood. I used to get gout attacks but now no more. Ceviche 😱😱. I must try to make this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceviche thank you 🙏. I made bottarga recently. It was so so good en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottarga .

I would be careful making raw ceviche, you may expose yourself to parasites.

Wow. You are the first person confirming this. You are welcome but also, thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏.

[@dustinpotter8312]

My first experience with them was in the mid 70's. I took the mud line out but also it seemed below the mud line the belly meat was interlaced with fat. I tried that and tossed that meat. That carp was much bigger than the one in the post. The meat above the mud line was white and excellent.

[@corneliusoutdoors]

@dustinpotter8312 I definitely prefer the meat below the mud line because less bones. I don’t mind the meat above the mud line if the fish is big. The Y bones can be located easily. The biggest I caught so far is 8kg ☺️

[@dustinpotter8312]

@@corneliusoutdoors I suppose one could learn to fillet out the 'y' bones like they do with pike. I don't think I would mess with smaller carp for that reason.

[@corneliusoutdoors]

@dustinpotter8312 yep. I tried many times but I ended destroying the fish 😟. The Y bones are stuck to the meat. I used pliers and the meat followed. Ended up with the meat looking like a minced meat 🤪.

To make the muddy taste goes away, I change the water to rain water or spring water without pollution.Keep the fish without feeding for 2 months before slaughtering..

[@copperheadh1052]

Get a 5 gallon bucket with a scew-on lid. Drill approx 30-40 holes in bucket with .25 inch drill bit. Fill bucket with dry grain such as corn or chicken scratch feed or dry dog food. Screw on the lid, and tie a piece of rope to the handle and place the bucket in your fishing spot. The bucket does not have to be in deep water, just enough to submerge the bucket. Carp love grain and in a few hours they will be all over the area for easy fishing. Use a small, STRONG hook and place a few pieces of canned corn on the hook. Prepare to get your arms tired from catching so many. The bucket will draw fish for several days, depending on the current flow. Check bucket and re-fill as needed. We do this every year and the kids just love it because it is non-stop action and carp are strong fighters.

[@corneliusoutdoors]

Wow wow 🤩. I must try this. I saw this method on the pier. By the beach. This guy fill the bucket with chicken intestines. I shall they it in the creek and lakes. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏

[@pegtop5455]

Wow. I’m speechless. I hope I am not punished for all the food I have waisted in my life by the way I learned to clean fish. I don’t know if I can learn to do what you do. I wish I could take lessons side by side. I know when I was in the Alaska wilderness trying to survive on what I could find to eat, the salmon eggs gave me much needed energy and made me feel amazing, like nothing else I could find to eat. But now I see how much of those fish I wasted. I just didn’t know any better.

[@corneliusoutdoors]

Thanks. I grew up in the rain forest of Borneo. When I was 6, the logging companies destroyed our forest. Crystal clear rivers became muddy. Fishing since then never easy. What ever we caught we eat every part of it. I don’t remember my mom removed the scales. In the soup, the scales are crunchy. My dad will put the bones over slow fire. I remember munching them like chips. Stay blessed, mate!

@corneliusoutdoors thanks, hope you had good Holidays as well. No. We had them fried in, I think traditional Panate from Crumbs, Flour and Egg. And yes, the Eggs where everywhere in the Bag. An escalating 'quite' New Years get-together. A drunk Friend had a whole Bag of fresh Carpeggs and fried them there. I tried some raw also. Provided good Apples, Snacks, for the Mayo, Remoulad, English isn't my 1. Launge. 😂 It was made with fine Onions, Apple, Dill and a lot of Garlic. Apple gives some sweetness to it. It was a very good fit, but not for me this Night. I bagged a lot, near nobody tried them, and took them home with some Dip for later. I think I would handle them same. As well as the Dip cause it was very fitting. Up here, Carp has lost very lot popularity, as festive Meal and so never heard about cooking the eggs, simply cause it never came to mind.

Czechs eat carp at Christmas and New Years and buy them a week ahead and keep them in the bathtub (alive) to get rid some of the muddy taste by putting them in clean water. Not sure how it works. I ate a ton of carp when I lived there and it was so-so at best. Only way it was GOOD was with a shit-ton of garlic. you can eat dirt if there is enough garlic in it, I swear.

[@corneliusoutdoors]

Garlic and ginger. Yes. 👍🏽. They have bloodline along the side of their body where Water displacement happens . Keeping them alive in the bathtub is definitely working but it is not allowed in most parts of Australia. Do you remember how you handled the bones?

Both I think. Especially the darker meat along the bloodline. That’s where water displacement happens. If the surrounding water is muddy swampy, the meat smells the same and tastes bad too. By letting the cooked meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes also helps remove the smell signifying .

Hi, when it is already dead like that would removing the blood line make a difference anymore? Since there is no circulation of the blood to other parts of fillet anymore?

Good question. Restaurants usually remove the entire red/dark meat along the blood lines too. Commonly done in salmon and tuna. I hate carp and tilapia smell the most but after removing the blood lines, I prefer these fishes more than barramundi for example. The blood lines must be the culprits.

Are carp same with koi?

[@corneliusoutdoors]

Hi 👋. They are not the same. Koi are very ornament 😊. Very fragile, soft, more slippery and not as “wild”. Koi are domesticated version of the common carp. I don’t think I will ever eat koi 🫠

[@enriqueoliva6988]

@@corneliusoutdoors Hi Cornelius,so they are in the same family,carp are the wild ones and koi are the domesticated carp cousin breed to be colorful ornament to decorate artificial man made pond.Koi can get real expensive and collected by rich people.

That’s right. I know of a company shipping koi to Japan. Let the koi live in Japan for a few weeks and sold all over the world as Japanese koi. 🤫

Amazing video. I come from a place where carp is a traditional food but I never learnt how to prepare it. This will make me eat the fish again. Did you let the fish swim in bath for 1 week to clean out the mud vein?

[@corneliusoutdoors]

Thank you so much 😊. Nah… there is no need for that. Just remember, however you cook it, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before you eat it. Just like your steaks 🥩. Rest for 5 minutes then enjoy. Also , over cooked is better than undercooked. Looking forward to hearing from you when you eat one. Thank you for the support.

[@iampercy]

That would be illegal in Australia, I think. The fish must be dead ASAP.

I found removal of that long strand interesting. I cooked a butterflied 27 inch carp in a smoker with the scales left on and the fish was great but the mud line part didnt taste that good. I do want to try it again and maybe ill refer back to this video.

[@corneliusoutdoors]

Thank you for your nice comment. Yes, it will surely make a difference. I remember my Dad will remove glands from the cheeks of catfish before cooking. We don't have catfish down here in Victoria, Australia. So I have not tried that. Also, let me know if have tried removing the bloodline. ... Butterflied carp for smoking? I should try that too. I usually smoked them whole or chopped.

[@PlasticRocket2]

Haven't heard of removing glands from catfish, people here in the states dont eat them head on normally. The smoked carp recipe was loosely based on a iraq carp recipe called masgouf. It was great that way but def had a noticeable strong fish flavor that i just think wouldnt have been there without that mudline which i left in.

Thank you. If u fish for carp. No super expensive gears. Just a line and a hook. Use corn kernels. Put up to 5 or 7 kernels on the hook. Throw the line. Sprinkle some kernels around the spot where u dropped the hook and wait. Wait for them to make their rounds. All base on timing. If u happened to set everything just before the arrive you get bite in minutes. Also no noise or movement. Stay a few metres away and just wait. Good luck 🤞

Are there carps in Canada 🇨🇦? How ever you prepare the fish, let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. A simple drizzle of garlic oil (prepared fresh ) makes a lot of difference. Drizzle over steamed carp, over fried carp, over pan fried carp and even over baked carp. I hope you will enjoy eating these beautiful fish

Me too. I struggle to eat carp at the beginning. Done a lot of research online. It is important to remove it but not as important as how you cook it. I don’t even bother to remove the bloodline now. Most important is to let the dish rest before you eat it. Try it 👍🏽

@ Tried it many times. Can’t get over the taste. Tried all sorts of things to get rid of the grassy taste and they have all been wild carp. They are an ok freshwater sporting fishing fish but that’s where I draw the line. Prefer freshwater rainbow or brown trout to carp any day.

Depends how you cooked it. Omelettes with chicken eggs was good. It add to the texture. Mixed with thick batter and deep fried was good too. I also dropped clumps of fresh eggs into noodle soup or just any soup, was so so good. But just too much. The eggs make up almost 40% of the fish.
