Tesco in areas with big polish communities sell carp around Christmas time,I met an old Serbian guy a month or so back who had caught a 25+Lb carp in the Rideau river and ate it,china town in London has tanks with live carp for the Chinese.

I've eaten pike several times , that was prepared and cooked by my friends wife . She'd fillet it , then remove those horrible little bones , then slice it and deep fry it in batter . It was equal to any chip shop cod. I've also eaten plenty of eels , and my share of barbel when I was younger  

I used to bring home perch for another friends wife , but I've never eaten it , and I used to bring back pike up to 3lb , and eels , for another neighbour. 

My mom used to like grayling , but I can't remember how she used to cook it.

The skeleton picked clean will attest to how good it was,going fishing next week for crappies for the freezer.

Perch cleaned and scraped.....then slashed on the flanks and buttered...and grilled....is in my view far tastier than trout

when i was a nipper and got a decent pike...it was cleaned and filleted and soaked in vinegar and salt and water overnight prior to cooking...(used to get rid of that muddy taste)

Wouldn't go down well over here eating a 25lb carp haha. I've never fancied eating it if I'm honest but I can only eat fish aslong as there isn't any bones in even the smallest of bones makes me gip used to love kippers as a kid but can't even eat them now
