O.K. from an old[sorta] river rat. Carp smoked or fried is GREAT!!!! Pigs are ugly and try telling me the don't smell. I don't know when the last time you were at a cow lot but MAN! Scale the fish fillet and cut out the mud vien. That is the really dark meat that runs down the center of the fillet. Then score in 1/8 scores. prepare as desired and you can't find any better. The only people who turn up their nose are those who havn't tried it!
