This just doesn't look appetizing.

killing that fish might get you the death penalty there

I was told to bleed by tail, filet out the back straps, cut the back straps into steaks, bread and fry like it was fish. This seems to work on 5-12 lb. carp. My wife and kids said it was good.  ymmv

Ok we always just Breaded and Fried, my wife told me not to score because Crap Bones don't fry up like Suckers. Oh I skin Carp to get to the Mud Vein to cut it out. 

Growing up the bulk of our meat was Carp or Groundhog. I like Buffalo better but they are Native Fish.

Blackend suckers,Carp etc.    Blackend was the key.

I beg to differ

Well at least Carp are a clean fish unlike a Catfish or Spoonbill.

Spoonbill are plankton filter feeders and small insect larva, they are as clean as the water they are in.  Catfish too for the most part.  Suckers, carp, and other bottom feeders tend to accumulate the poisons and heavy metals from the bottom of the streams they feed on and are not as healthy to eat.

I thought the metals were processed through the zoo plankton  to the filter feeders then to the eaters of filter feeders and so on. Aren't carp considered filter  feeders?
