if you feel the need to conform to society's norms go right ahead . In certain parts of the country fried chicken goes along with the stereotype you alluded to . anyway what kind of Texan eats chicken . have you ever seen what them things eat!

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I shoot ALOT of carp with my bow......I look forward to the spawn......can shoot a lot in a short perid of time......75-100 per day in some places. I can all of the meat........1 way I prepare it has the carp tasting 100% identical in taste and texture as canned tuna. another way has it coming out like canned salmon.

Bless your heart foxkidd44, but tuna and salmon should be considered rough fish in my opinion. When the wife fixes either one in the house, I need to leave the house. I can't get past the strong, rotten fish odor.
Now if you can make it turn out like rock bass or mahi mahi...

for the carp to taste like tuna........filet the carp....make sure it contains no rib bones....and remove the skin and any reddish colored meat......rinse in cool water ....then cut up into manageable pieces and pack into pint jars.......don't add water. add a few tabelspoons of salt. then let it set on 11 pounds of pressure for 100 minutes.

for it to taste like canned salmon........remove head, guts, fins and scales......then chunk up the carp into 1-2 inch chunks.....pack into jars, pints or quarts.......no water.....a few tabelspoons of salt. then set on 11 pounds of pressure 100 minutes.

simple as that......homemade tuna /canned salmon wayyyyy cheaper than you can buy it at the store. give it a whirl.....and you'll def see for yourself.

I tried some smoked carp because a friend told me they taste just like ham. He was right, they taste just like fishy-tasting ham. I think his taste buds are shot. Or, I didn't drink enough beer.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

I cut up a buffalo I caught yesterday. Got it soaking in a salt brine right now. Tomorrow will get rinsed and put into straight white vinegar to soak a couple days. Will get rinsed then a second time and covered in vinegar with sugar and other spices along with some chopped onion for pickled buffalo.

Most fish snobs look down nose of eating ANY fish anymore......we're supposed to release ALL game fish and eat the chit they import from china and central america

Foxkid in your 2nd recipe, are you leaving the bones in?
I've had mullet canned that way and it was real good, the bones cook up from pressure canning.

I'd eat a lot of these if prepped like you guys do.
I could never get it right, but may try again.

Looks like pickled pike.

I ate many a carp and sucker growing up in the Ozarks. I really miss deep fried red horse. I still eat squirrel whenever I can.

prob is all the rivers around here are so polluted with toxins and heavy metals they arent safe to eat. The big creek behind my place has mercury in it and HUGE carp.
