Years ago, we cleaned some, fried and ate them...I remember a distinct "seaweedy" taste. the filets even smelled that way.However, I have eaten fried carp overseas, and it tasted just fine. ...What did we do wrong? (Granted, these were pretty hefty fish!)

As a kid we stayed with my grandparents while my folks we3re on mission trips (Dad a Baptist minister) My grandpa would make me and my cousin sein a shallow part of the river. Most of the time we would get carp and sometimes gar.
Grandma would gut, scale, take off the head and the fins off and cook them in a giant ole timey pressure cooker. She would pick the meat off the bones and out of the skin and make patties and fry them.
We would chow down. I would mix pepper sauce with catsup and dip the patties. Brings a smile to my face thinking about it.

i once saw a video that guy with blonde spiked hair made , i think its diners and dives or something like that .it was a carp and catfish diner .they had people lining up to eat carp there.this was in Omaha Nebraska
.they interviewed some families and the loved the carp and said they their children were 3rd generation eating there ..i took one home once and fill the inside with pico de gallo and drizzled lemon on top then baked it in the oven ..when it came out i got some saltine cracker and a fork and spread it on a cracker ,pulled the bones out and ate . the meat was surprisingly clean tasting and moist and flaky .it wasnt bad at all Ive eaten at that place with some friends. It was OK. They did split the fish along the spine as mentioned above and meat did peal off pretty easily. I thought the meat was kind of mushy and the red line was as nasty as any other fish with a thick red line.
Retirement best job ever.

In Europe where they originate the carp is very highly sought after. Only here are they considered a "trash fish." I have eaten them and if you get them out of clean water, like a gravel pit, they are very good. Kind of bony but there are ways around that such as scoring or pressure cooking.

nothing. as with any creature they will take on a mild flavor of what they eat. it's the reason i don't eat Texas ducks. they taste like mud and weeds.
I didn't lose him at the boat. I shook him off cause I didn't want my hands to get "fishy"
