I’m aware that they are decent table fare. I’ve pressure canned lots of it using very similar method [USER=15527]@Master Carper[/USER] mentioned. It’s nearly identical to canned tuna and we make tuna salad sandwiches with it or salmon patty style sandwiches with it. That being said…I normally catch enough crappie/whitebass/catfish/bluegill/etc that I don’t always feel inclined to eat the carp. I’ve used them a bunch for garden fertilizer. These 2 carp were actually kept alive and then released into a pond of my neighbors because he wanted a few in there. I don’t waste them and dump them on the bank like bowfishermen do. I don’t release them either though… personally I believe they need to be thinned from our waters and very few people target them</blockquote>
