Common Carp - Catch and Cook (Frying vs. Catfish & Tilapia!) SHOCKING!!

Catch and Cook the Common Carp. Are these fish worth eating? I head out to catch a Common Carp to fry up, then pit it against Catfish and Tilapia for our judge to decide which is the Carp, and which they like the most.

Excellent show! Loved it. I've eaten Carp for 60 years - fried, pressure-cooked, pickled, made into patties (then fried). It is good. As with any fish, the cleaner and colder the water- the better it tastes. I prefer the smaller ones (like you used).

[@PhilipKim-yo9ej]

how do you pickle the

[@Musicmaster12121]

Hello there from Europe. I was shocked to find out Americans think that carp is a trash fish. We usually prepere them for special occasions, like Christmas eve. When we prepare them we usually dont filet them like you do. Just cut them in U shape and fry them, the head and tail is great for fish stew. :)

[@demetriusevans4139]

I guarantee you that over 90% of the people saying carp is trash and not good to eat have never had one

[@TheOsmodius]

More like 99%

Delicious fish,I'm frm newyork,and have been catching carp for almost 50 yrs,they are good to eat,but as far as the bones go,you have to eat around them,they can't be scored or filleted,so enjoy them as is

[@Jay-tk7ib]

You can run them through a grinder and make balls or patties. That will take care of the small bones. Also eat the rib meat. The rib bones are larger and easier to eat around.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

I am eager to try that out!

[@CJTheAllrounder]

Fantastic job Bo! Hopefully this gets more views!

[@walterrichards1802]

Tennessee waters are full of carp and I have caught many upwards of twenty pounds. They are very strong fighters and usually go absolutely wild when they are close to the bank or the boat. I have eaten them both pan fried and smoked. The bones from a small carp could be a problem but they are large enough in larger fish to cope with easily. I do like them smoked but fried works well also!

[@boobabooba2322]

Such an underrated Creator

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

Thank you! 😊 we’re growing slowly!

I have caught 3 carp this fishing season and prepared them. Its an ok fresh water fish for consumption. I think the reason why historically carp have been the most important fresh water fish for breeding and consumption (Europe) is: 1. There is a lot of meat on a 12 pound carp. Enough to feed a large family and neighbors. 2. The meat doesnt taste like fish. It has its own mild taste, which is not "superb", but most people woiuld agree that its OK. 3. The meat quality on a large carp is very good. Its firm and not mushy at all. Doesnt fall apart and the texture is quite nice eating. This makes it great for food preparation in any sort, such as fried, smoked, grilled or boiled. 4. The meat has high fat content, which makes it a great food source alltogether, when calories are most needed, such as during winter. Its satisfying to eat fish that fills you up.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

Makes sense to me! I thought it was the fat that gave it alot of its flavor, I ended up eating leftovers at lunch for the rest of the week pretty much.

[@VisitaInteriora]

@@moderndayoutdoorsman nice. I still have about 3 pounds of filets in my freezer and I kept the carcasses for soup.

[@demetriusevans4139]

At one time lobster was considered trash and peasant food. 50 years from now carp will be served at 5-star restaurants.

All the little Y-shaped bones make carp true slow food. Eating hastily may get you in trouble. However, that's the only downside of the fish. I'm from Germany and ate carp many times, but it seems to have fallen a bit out of fashion in recent years. However, in southern Germany there still are many farmers who breed and raise carp in ponds over the year. September to november is the traditional harvesting season. I've never encountered one that tastes muddy, but I've seen farmers keep the harvested fish in containers with running water for a couple of days, so you're buying "clean" fish. I've also heard the bathtub story, but I doubt anyone has done that in the past 40 years or so. 😄 Common wisdom is that smaller carp are better than the really big ones, but I can't speak on that. Frying the filet in beer batter is one of the traditional recipes, by the way. But the're also worth baking in one piece in the oven, maybe on a bedding of vegetables. Makes them kind of the turkey of freshwater fish.

[@PapaOutdoors238]

Carp is delicious. I leave the skin on, scaled of course, filleted, score like you did, then score also length wise also. The skin holds it together. Fry it good and crisp and then pick the meat off the skin. The meat will look lik3 little cubes. Very good. The bigger the carp, the better the ribs. Thanks for a good video.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

I’ll have to try that! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@kevingundelach8753]

I remember the first time I caught a carp I remember I was so excited I took it home to show my cousin he just laughed he said that's only about 5 lb we like to catch him at about 20 lb back in Iowa but he cleaned and cooked it up for me and it was delicious

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

That’s awesome!

[@htvlogs80]

There’s no way around the small carp bone, it’s everywhere. From what I heard, it’s better to catch the smaller carp because the bones are so small & thin you can eat it. Again that what I heard from European carp lovers. The smaller the carp the better.

[@danielkorrmann5467]

There is a practice where i am from to cut the meat almost down to the skin to destroy the y bones. Sometimes lemon gets used to rub down the filet to desolve the Bones even more. There is a device for it bot i dont know what its called.

[@tincatinca1571]

America: bruh, who eats carp Literally rest of the world: me

[@bankbeaterzoutdoors6185]

A fellow Kansas outdoors man.... Nice. Lately been restricted to local holes. Lots of carp here but never targeted them. Looks like I may be giving it a go. I'll wait till after watching the video to decide on trying to eat one though lol😅

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

Ha! You bet! And worth a try, just go into it expecting to find bones to pull out. Once you get a hang of it though, its pretty simple, and a good tasting fish! Plus they're a ton of fun to catch!

[@lucasoutdoor0301]

It’s like FishingPlanet 😂

[@lorenmws]

Good video!

[@vicbanks9079]

Good info. Like the open attitude of bro to give it a try. Maybe cook another way. PS Why did you throw the smaller ones back?

[@lorenmws]

Man I wished you made me some

[@CJTheAllrounder]

I’m going to try and get some carp myself in the Western Australian freshwater lakes around here sometime soon

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

Right on! I definitely recommend tearing apart the fish for bones just to be safe, but otherwise, flavor was amazing!

[@eugenesheepman8856]

In Europe carp is good fish to eat , nice video .

[@Esco5555]

there’s methods and tutorials of how to make boneless carp fillets- you loose a decent amount of meat doing it, but with the abundance of them it’s still fine. and always remove the mud vein in the red meat that is what gives it the “muddy” taste

[@brianevans1851]

The best way to clean is to scale the fish leaves on the skin then score in one direction the score the other direction so you have a diamond pattern then season then use corn meal and flour dry batter then deep fry the y bones will cook up for the most part score all the way to the skin carp is a big part of our yearly fish fry

[@buckshot6481]

We used to take a .22 fishing with us. The .22 was for carp.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

Nice! They don’t put up as good of a fight that way- I recommend a rod and reel 😉

[@pastorkristoffer4074]

Hand lining a carp? Bruh

[@baarbacoa]

I've heard that bleeding carp after you catch them enhances the flavor of the fillets by producing the amount of blood.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

Yep, marinating in a milky-water with salt overnight never hurts for any muddy river fish, either!

[@Agentman-ti4vo]

Never had carp but I definitely won’t pass it up if there’s ever an opportunity👍

[@sloexplorergaming3185]

you should come to europe some times here you will have more fighting and a gigant fish, and you will catch them very quick i have caught a 33lb carp in 5 min, so very recomended

[@groundlooper]

This is my favorite video for filleting a carp to so it's boneless: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp6oeIKZob-CbNE. Give that a try. I think you'll be much happier with the result.

[@sampercham118]

Carp is eating everywhere in world 🌎

[@stevensanders4425]

Bend the fillet so the batter gets in the cuts to keep it open when frying. How about trying cornmeal with a touch of salt. With cornmeal the hot oil will penetrate the cuts and fry up the bones better.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

I’ll have to give it a try! Good idea! 👍

[@Alicesupremacists04]

Malaysian angler's phrase: ikan besar besar bas

[@mikemitchell258]

Fry it at a very high temperature. The small bones will dissolve.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

You always hear that, but no one tells you what to do about the big bones 🤪

My dad pickled it. No bones.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

See- that goes to the acidity again. I’m sure it had a very sour taste! 😝 the trick will be getting the acidity to soften those bones… while balancing it out somehow

Gotta try it now 😮‍💨

[@vitor301980]

I thought common carp are naturalized and asian carp/silver carp are the carp causing the problems?

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

That should certainly be the case. They’ve been around nearly as long as the ring-necked pheasant. However, due to their lack in popularity, it doesn’t keep many state agencies from calling them “invasive” like you would call a rose a weed in a tulip garden.

[@vitor301980]

@@moderndayoutdoorsman Also, I have never cleaned a carp but I came across an old, eight years old, video from the Nebraska Game and Park Commision on cleaning and scoring carp. The person giving the presentation said carp are very good eating. Didn’t know if you had watched it?

@@moderndayoutdoorsman Also, my late grandfather, he would be 101 now, told me stories about how his mother would cold can carp and that it was the most delicious fish he had eaten in his life.

[@user-ws2ih6ef1k]

when will you Americans learn there's more to preparing fish than battered and deep fried, broil or baking. Eastern Europe carp is made into soups and stews because of the high fat content. In Asia it's made into salads too. Carp is as clean as the water you catch it from.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

😂 I made it that way because I like eating fish that way, why so judgey?

[@user-ws2ih6ef1k]

didn't mean to judge your way of cooking it but wanted the world to know there's more. I've been defending carp for decades and maybe one of the reasons for the hate is the limited way Americans know how to prepare it.

[@moderndayoutdoorsman]

@@user-ws2ih6ef1k could certainly be. I assume the majority of the hate is due to the unfortunate fact that this is primarily how Americans eat fish, and they have been told pretty consistently for the past 70 years that Bass fishing is the ultimate in fishing and carp are detrimental to the future of bass populations. The combination creates this idea of a “trash fish” that eats bass eggs and doesn’t fry up well.

[@michael_k7356]

Actually, carp filet fried in beer batter is a traditional dish in southern Germany. No specifically american thing. But yes, there are many more options for this fish.
