Hm. Carp is considered a trash fish here. I may have to re-assess that,
thanks!


You should, at least once. Folks most places consider them trashfish.



I'm wondering if there is a fillet technique for them.

Fixing carp is easy. Get a large pot. Fill with water, put a half dozen or
so rocks on the bottom. Bring to boil. Add 1 large or several small carp.
Cut up as needed so they fit in pot. Add salt and pepper, not too much. Boil
for about 20 minutes - fish tend to cook fast. Discard carp, remove and eat
rocks.


yeah yeah yeah.....similar to the old put a carp on a cedar plank and
bake for thirty minutes then toss the carp and eat the plank. ;-)

Seriously, if you ever had a proper carp, you would sing a different
song. :-)

Betcha never ate gar either. Easy and better'n you would think.

We have alligator gar around here. I've noted that many fisherman toss
them on the bank.

I've never caught one. Might consider spear fishing for one. I'm not
convinced an average fishing line would hold one with those teeth!
