Re: [VFB] Carp - recipe

[KRDANCINGFISH]

The trick to carp is to let them swim around in your bathtub for a week, feeding them corn meal. That clears out the mud flavor. The recipe I use is complicated. It's an old russian recipe that consists of grinding the fillets with about 1/3 the weight white fish, mix in a few eggs some grated onion, and matzoh meal or cracker meal to form fist sized pieces. put them in a large baking pan with about 1/2" water, cover with foil, and cook @ 350 about 1 hr. I usually add a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or adobo powder into the mixture. Serve it with horse radish. When the cooking liquid cools in the fridge, it becomes a tasty aspic, and you can eat that too. Jewish folk call it gefilte fish.
