Growing up and fishing around Canberra the first carp recipe I heard was as follows: Place a fresh carp fillet in a pot of simmering water. Add a small round stone from the river and simmer for 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked.  Remove the carp from the pot and discard.  Serve the hot stone. 

 

 Since then, Iโ€™ve heard a similar joke involving a plank of wood.  Needless to say many Australians donโ€™t think much of carp as a table fish.  A couple of recent experiences however suggests that weโ€™ve been far too quick to dismiss carp as a dinner option. 

 

A favorite among Vietnamese Australians, carp are enthusiastically fished and farmed in Vietnam.  Iโ€™ve just returned from an extended stay in Hanoi and every afternoon the ladies at our local markets sold fresh carp steaks.

Seafood restaurants had aquarium tanks full of carp where you could choose the fish you wanted to eat for dinner.  The steaks were plunged into a simmering hotpot of rich tomato soup and spices. Served with some wilted greens and noodles, Iโ€™m happy to admit it was quite nice, although the soft texture and small bones detracted from the experience.  I guess itโ€™s an acquired taste. 

 

There is another method of preparing carp though, one which guarantees a great tasting meal.  At a recent carp fishing competition in Boorowa, Keith Bell, of K&C fisheries, cooked up some carp for hungry anglers. Keith didnโ€™t hide the fish in a rich curry sauce or strongly flavoured soup.  Instead, he rolled small pieces of carp in flour, salt and pepper, and fried them.  As the locals tried it, eye brows were raised and jaws dropped.  They were delicious.  Before long, he couldnโ€™t keep up with the line of young children asking for second and third helpings.

I wonder if any of my socks made it to freedom.

 

There is a big lake here called Massapequa lake. It's fresh water, but also takes in the run off water from the roads near it. Loads of fish and looks clean, but eating the fish is very bad for a person. The was an old oriental guy throwing a net for carp and keeping them.

 

Netting fish is illegal and there are strict regulations on what can fish, when you can fish, what size you can keep, and how many. I tried to tell the guy, but he wasn't understanding. The poor guy was going to eat them! He probably got tickets too.

 

Huge carp....I was never able to catch one!
