How to Catch, Prepare and Cook Carp

[@adamemerson7522]

Thanks so much for this video. I have spent a lot of recreation time at and around the river from Loxton right through to Tailem Bend and Love the Mighty Murray greatly. Being there gives me a sense of peace and the beautiful scenery is second to none, well in my humble opinion. As I intend on making a river change and finding and making a home near there in the foreseeable future, I thank you once again for your wonderful contribution to the river & community in educating the public on clever methods for using the plentiful supply of carp. It's a really valuable resource that I will be benefitting from. Excellent Work! 5 stars :-D

[@goloszi]

Fantastic instructions, the best I have seen on the net. Thank you, Keith!

[@MadMaxNow]

Looks good. We have a lot of carp in the river across the street from me. I will be eating good this summer.Thank you for the vid. Peace and Freedom.

[@ChooRoo]

Fantastic bloody video mate. Took this advice and it worked perfectly. Will have a video up of our own following this inspiration. Cheers buddy.

[@IsaKocoglu]

I've always wondered, how someone I was made aware of had prepared such a beautiful meal out of what is otherwise known to be something that tasted like mud... Thanks for helping us get a meal on our plates for cheaper ;)

[@FishyMoe]

My understanding was that due to the fact that fish is a bottom feeder is accumulates cyanobacteria which cause geosmin to build up within the flesh. This is responsible for the 'muddy' taste (also seen in yabbies). I was told by a fish farm manager that you can purge the fish in 3 ppm salty brine water (alive) for a week to remove all the muddy taste. This is a traditional dish from where my folks are from (Poland) in winter. Would also explain why it is harvested in winter (no phytoplankton).

People forget that the reason Carp exist in the USA and Australia is that they were introduced as a food source. That being said, I've never tried them, but knowing they are a massive problem here in Australia (they have ruined fresh water fishing in our largest river), it's good to know that they are in fact edible. I might have to try cooking some up in future, cheers for the highly informative video :D

[@gingergpig3878]

+samich91 I know I went camping to the Bogan River the other day and all we caught is useless fat carp and they are also full of bones :/

[@beingabetterman7080]

Thanks samich91 for the comment - Hey Ginger G pig, did you follow the filleting instructions? What went wrong? Well at least we can still keep catching them and help clean up the river. Thanks both of you for the comments. Cheers.

[@theearstohear]

"The eighties were a long time ago!" I hear you, man. Good times.

[@GreatCoveAdventures]

That recipe looks considerably more tasty than the old "carp on a board" recipe we've all heard about. I always throw these critters back when I catch them, but I'm just gonna have to fry up a couple of them and give them a try. Thanks for the good info!

[@johnallnite6700]

(I always throw these critters back) Big fine for throwing them back in the water in Queensland penalties up to $200 000 also apply

[@rickyglaser]

thank you, this is just what i was looking for

[@Eroc1960]

Her in the USA carp are a Nuisance Fish, however you correct in saying they are great to eat. In the Midwest it is hard to find a restaurant that does not serve carp. As long as you know how to prepare them you will not be disappointed. Thanks for the video my friends.

[@BacalaoBrad]

very informative , thanks for sharing

[@tkguyok]

Good video! Thank you for sharing! Back in the 1960's I remember reading an article in the Field & Stream magazine about how to catch, clean, and cook carp. When he was talking about you had to remove the dark strip of meat that it wasn't good to eat. I didn't realize that it was that large of a strip. Yeah, he said that he had family and friends over to eat and they would comment on how good the fish was and would ask him what kind of fish it was and when he would tell them they couldn't believe that it was the lowly carp. Have you ever tried to soak it in water or vinegar water to draw out the blood?

[@tylersantos1748]

good imformative video. needed a good recipe for my recent catch :)

[@hushed9144]

Thanks :3 My Dad Loves Catching Carp

[@FishingInSpain]

Nice vid. Gotta love carp fishing, my local river holds fish into double figures, but they fight harder than their size.

[@bradgillis3701]

how do you prep the skin? great video. you can salvage more good meat if you learn to "score" the carp. scored, breaded in seasoned flour and cornmeal, deep fried with the scored part dropped in down=good eating

[@samich91]

+brad gillis Any chance you can please expand on this, as I'm keen to give it a crack :D

[@jimmyleg5]

What, if anything, do you do with the part of the filet containing the blood line?

[@RedChilliesFoods]

Nice, we are habituated to have this fish in Bangladesh, it is tasty fish, like & subscribed

[@faviou2]

thnaks 4 hthe video the best... i asq... the parts with no bones is the estomag cover and the dorsal part.? thank you.

[@ESPNsPeacockbassProfessor]

nice purse! goes great with your pink rod haha!

[@Zellig]

great video quality

[@nickfish03]

Great video. I've been researching different carp recipes and cleaning techniques for awhile, and it's hard to find good articles/videos because everyone stereotypes it as a garbage fish.

[@johnallnite6700]

Have a look at this cookbook riversofcarbon.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/carp-recipe-ebook-A5.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2tKH1948ZUM-QPbXs-X3Y1Gq2ykFD-rYvOT9aXDXhUWvEuKyXCmkpxr6M

[@Deltakingca]

great vid those fish put up a fight and they pretty good they way i make them

[@joshuathomsen]

How does one make leather out of the skins?

[@conmanumber1]

Hi heres a tip. Prep up some fillets or cubed carp then sear to 1/2 cook then put aside. In a saucepan gently 1/2 fry crushed ginger and garlic then put aside. Dump into sauce pan 2 or 3 tins of chopped tomatos with a few chopped fresh tomatos then stew to reduce a little. Add a little brown sugar to reduce. When tomato is stewed well cooked then throw in the ginger and garlic to cook off then the fish. Add salt to taste. All elements unmeasured. Serve over rice.

[@baacfishingvlogs3642]

We share the same advocacy. We are promoting selective fishing or angling here in Bicol Philippines. Carp is a local fish delicacy here in our place. But due to massive fishing ,some locals use batteries to electrecute them before catching it, affecting other fish species. I hope you could allow us to link your channel in our channel, too.

[@CheckLike]

I love this video. North America is facing the same dire future. Our succulent native fishes are most likely to be largely out competed. Very sad. But if we learn to cope now we may slow their progress

[@mrsparex]

My aunt told me that joke when I was a teenager... I caught a huge carp once and took it to the market and sold it for $4. (not per pound but the WHOLE fish). At the time I was getting $1 a pound for catfish fillets. The eighties were a long time ago!

[@Francois_Dupont]

what joke?

[@RoomGrow]

Great to see that every part of the fish is used, although I don;t know if I would eat fish gonads on Christmas Day!!

[@One.natation]

thank you for a very will done show;The fish is something that you showed could be utilized in to a very good commodity for the economy.

[@pcmedic100]

we use to catch 40+ ponders coming out of the great lakes. Clean the mud vain out and brine them for a day or so, slowly smoke them in a decent smoker. MMMMmmmm!

[@RandomChannell1]

Can these fish be caught in the Northeastern USA? And/or are they invasive? Thanks for taking the time to read this comment

[@sammarkey8481]

Everywhere in the US.Yes they are "invasive" in that they were introduced as a food source in the late 1800's. They are easy and very fun to catch. 1. Get can of whole kernal corn 2. Throw out 2-3 handfuls in the area you plan to fish. 3. Bass fish somewhere away from your chummed area for 30-45 min 4. Put 5-6 kernals on a #6 bait holder hook with a small splitshot sinker on the line 5. Cast into the chummed area and hold on! DO NOT set your rod down or it WILL get pulled in. 6. CARP ON!

[@Francois_Dupont]

can you tell me if they are carp in any big lake?

[@Francois_Dupont]

@Peter Hanrahan nobody is fishing them here. they dont even know what they are most of the time. i found one that got dumped in the bush on time, and another time i caught a big one and it broke my line after i saw the scale and color of it. i only found out about them myself after searching online about what kind of fish it was.

[@Francois_Dupont]

@Peter Hanrahan Canada

[@Francois_Dupont]

@Peter Hanrahan thank you. i will.

[@michaelshoffner6584]

love that pink rod dude

[@terrymiller111]

Okay.

[@JakesPlace]

dont have to scale it?

[@Esco5555]

can you make a video showing how they create leather out of carp skins?

[@lindseyhodson7906]

Yay! thanks for posting this! I always wondered how to prepare carp. I was afraid to keep them, I didn't want to waist them by messing them up wile flaying them. muahahah >=3

[@Francois_Dupont]

1:22 you say its the histamine that is secreted that make the fish taste "muddy" can i kill it before i freeze it in my cooler? if its not alive anymore it can make histamine is that correct?

[@Francois_Dupont]

@Peter Hanrahan found out the histamine isnt made in the fish from stress, it appear it is the result of the fish rotting because people dont chill them enough in the field. "The production of histamine is directly related to the mishandling of food as a result of storage at incorrect temperatures." www.fsai.ie/faq/histamine_fish.html

[@jonpeterson1468]

de-boning Asian carp(and other carp/sucker) this video is hands down the best method for boneless carp fillets.

[@borzas]

fertilizer? man, that part is what the BEST soup in the world is made out of. fishermen's soup from Serbia or Hungary. also, the part with the many little bones is also usable, you just have to leave skin on (with the scales and mucus removed) and make small cuts from the other side in right down to the skin like 3-4 millimeters apart and deep fry the fillet after dredging in flour.

[@newdelhianglers9468]

very good

[@jimmiewebster1297]

The white meat with Y bones in it can be cut into one inch pieces, pressure canned, and it tastes exactly like tuna. It's magic....the bones seem to disappear. Of course, you have to catch the carp in clean water. The red meat, I use as catfish bait.

[@papaoldie2334]

Would I be able to eat koi? We have heaps where I live and I was wondering if I could eat one

[@gesman5000]

OG Luke No koi has chemicals to give it beautiful coloration and as such it is recommended that you refrain from eating them. Anyway why would you eat an ornamental fish.

[@SneakyBadAssOG]

Czechoslovakia :D Not anymore since 1992. We split to Czech Republic and Slovakia. Update your Google map app. But true, we making soup from it. It taste great :)

[@michaels5381]

actually since 1993! :)

[@TransHerring]

very nice thank you

[@94swagga]

My dogs will love this recipe lol

[@tigertiger642]

I feel sorry for your dogs

[@joeyc1826]

Oscar Swallow 😂😂😂

[@erickadw1]

I caught a 12lb carp in a lake area near my sister's house. My mom and I go fishing there quite often. A guy was there observing our fishing as well as a crowd of kids. Anyway, the guy told me to throw the fish back because it was not good for eating. I asked if why was the fish inedible? His response was only that the fish eats the grass and muck at the bottom of the lake. I thought so what? It wasn't like the fish was poisonous! I've eaten carp before & thought it was delicious too!

[@brucelansing6890]

I always hung my carp up and cut the tail.That way they bled out and did not have the blood line.

[@MrBlimpology]

nice rod bro

[@mrsparex]

My aunt told me that joke and it always stuck with me

[@terpherpson2264]

Its a favorite of mine also

[@Yakplanet_tv]

The best carp I've ever caught looked like magic carp from Pokemon big lips and red/gold

[@raymondo716]

Thanks...very educational. I caught 2 lovely carp recently but didn't know about the ice slurry, so I think I'll find some local pelicans (Goolwa) & hand them over to them.

[@Just1Spark]

Thank you

[@see-see7372]

Really into the bucket

[@FourFingersofDeath]

Thanks.

[@Jeremyschannel1]

I think in the midwest they serve Buffalo Carp, which aren't really carp at all. The fish in this video are common carp. Not completely sure, though. Check out the wikipedia entry for Ictiobus or Buffalo fish.

[@marklong2528]

the whole carp will taste good if hungry

[@joeyc1826]

mark long Very true,

[@sammarkey8481]

Because someone told them that they are trash fish, and they can't think for themselves so they just buy into it. As soon as someone is on TV catching them and it is cool to like it, they will.

[@GraysonofEpic]

It's not torture, the fish simply fall asleep. Its similar to going under anesthesia.

[@BornRandy62]

if you clean the fish well remove the blood line and smoke the entire thing at at least 150 degrees for 2 or more hours you will find that the smallish bones disolve and can be shewed thru with no issues at all. Sheep Nose can be prepared the same way. I have had people tell me they would rather eat smoked sheep nose than Walleye fillets

[@Yossarian0011]

So strange to see it from Central Europe how people taste carps and they are afraid of the experience. Here we eat carp oftenly, even its on the table at christmas because we dont have sea and carp soup or fried carp is the most common fishfood what we have.

[@benmoro]

back home, no one eats carp. But when they do, they marinate it in vinegar at least 48 hours in the fridge.

[@pacogames2271]

I never thought you could eat carp. Is it dangerous, cause now I want to go catch some carp.

[@mozzmanau]

+PACOgames lol no

[@cjfilmproductions]

Americans don't eat carp because it is a bony fish .

[@RandomChannell1]

No, not really. I know that their are many invasive (and dangerous) silver carp, bullhead carp, Asian silver carp, or whatever your preference to call these fishies in the Midwest and South. I do not know if their are any good carp to fish/eat in the Northeastern states, and whether or not they are invasive, and go the way of the goby (killed when caught). I think their are some wild goldfish (Bred from Prussian carp, I think), possibly some bottom feeder carps.

[@violinmASTERZZZZZZ]

carp is sweet!

[@pingpang7817]

gonad soup! sounds delicious

[@FourFingersofDeath]

How do you use the remains of the fish for the garden, etc without driving the neighbours insane? lol

[@kandyburra]

My guess would be to slightly bury it

[@tommyk4242]

I need me some carp boots lol

[@jameshendrix1227]

Bill what are cabbies? Live in Florida in US. That a crab

[@barnsnoble7066]

I think it's a crawfish

[@beingabetterman7080]

+Barns Noble They are called 'yabbies' and are a small river 'crayfish / lobster' type crustacean.

[@DarkSparkCannabis]

i swear the next person that says that joke to me on the boat is getting thrown overboard.

[@sammarkey8481]

Yup I'd rather catch a 5 pound carp than a 5 pound bass any day, except maybe a 5 pound striper.

[@RohtoUser]

People lack of knowledge on oragnic food and animals leaves me dumbfounded. Carps are over populating because noone catches them, and when they do they dont even know how to prepare it, but its a fish so do what you would do to any other fish to the carp lol

[@zander5068]

RohtoUser No they are an invasive species that just flourishes in Australian environments. Plenty of people catching them and all of them are getting killed.

[@OhioDivers]

catfish are bottom feeders. and are delicious.

[@ilganis]

when good prepared carp fillets tasted well..

[@mattwalker5129]

Nice to see how the Unabomber relaxes nowadays.

[@zaneyzaney4430]

Smoked carp is how we cook it.

[@sammarkey8481]

All fish taste better in the cooler months.

[@ziongite]

Actually the most humane way to kill an animal is a hard strike on the head, this instantly knocks it unconscious, and because the strike way hard, inside the brain it bleeds and the animal never wakes back up, it thus has an instant death. Freezing an animal alive isn't humane, it's a slow death. You want to strike it quite hard with a metal rod a slight distant behind the eyes, this destroys the brain almost instantly. Then you throw it into the Esky. BTW it's not covered in this video, but you can eat the rest of the fillet also via deep frying it, deep frying makes the bones go soft and edible, allowing you to eat the rest of the fillet.

[@MrSamidrissi]

because fish have shoulders that's why

[@Tewrobert]

Carp, Buffalo, Spoonbill, Alligator Gar, Grass Gar........all good if you know how to fix them........You never lived until you had gar balls and gravy and I do not mean the testicles either......Going to be a day when we may be damn glad to have some Carp..

[@willyishere]

The way he says fillet tho

[@nickdillon4952]

William Neaime That's how the rest of the English speaking world says it (like the English, who invented that shit you know). You say it wrong when you try to make a French word out of it.

[@willyishere]

Nick Dillon lol thnx

[@juliusboy001]

The best part you are not eating, the skin !!!!

[@dookiekong007]

people who say carps taste like mud just don't know how to cook fish.

[@steveboone5480]

A whole fish gone just to get a 2 and a half inch filet?!!

[@natstev8392]

I like the idea of using icy water after to humanely kill the fish, but I’m not sure if the one he used was dead, because I noticed once he commenced cutting into the fish the mouth was constantly moving. 😩

[@benc1978]

His filleting skills are a bit average!

[@AnnaAnnaYes]

I Agree.i know a Korean man who gets way more meat out of the Carp he catches

[@BigDH28]

I died! hahaha Thanks :)

[@KnavemireWedge]

carps are bottom feeders... you want to eat algae? but I do like sushi

[@sammarkey8481]

put it in a 5 gallon bucket, cover with water and seal. Set AWAY from house and let is sir for a couple months. Filter out the solids and pour on your garden before watering.

[@nana8nanashi]

Did you miss what Michelle Crossley said at beginning? They need less carp in their rivers, not more...

[@TheWildBunch99]

im i the only one who read the title as "how to cook crap" XD

[@mrsparex]

LOL... I guess the joke isn't as original as I hoped for! LOL

[@Dontbmaddcuzubadd]

nt in fillet

[@theearstohear]

Now THAT'S funny.

[@mrsparex]

HOW TO COOK CARP Nail carp to wooden board... broil at 400 degrees (3 hours).... take the carp off board...throw fish away then eat the board...

[@chattown7900]

i thought you batter fish in meal.....

[@Cronox]

Karp po Grecku +++++++++++++++++++++

[@6thStreetKidz]

Four fingers you could just bury it in your garden
