Happened to come across this video and it shows how to prepare a couple of small portions of a carp that are apparently edible and taste reasonable.
Might have to try it one day.

Thanks Mav, very interesting. Pretty similar to how I prepare Aussie Salmon by staying away from the bloodline flesh.
It looks like that Carp passed the acid test of the toddler going in for seconds, so I might give it a crack next time I catch one. As they say, don't knock it til you try it - and I'm yet to try it.

Like how he uses a little pink rod for catching carp.. Carp I seem to catch would use that to scratch their arse.
