Wolfdog91 7,265 Posted March 27, 2024 Report Share Posted March 27, 2024 Carp , like anything,take someone who knows what where doing to prepare it . If you someone who just salt,pepper and lemon wedge everything and expect it to taste anything but bland or muddy......yeah no. Smoked carp that's been cleaned properly is amazing . Did a herb crushed and stuff one too a while back . Over a bed of white rice wish we had more carp where we live I'd like to try it again. Was about like this little less flashy though. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t know loads but the few I do are very straight shooting and direct which I quite like no frills or spills just say it as it is, we had a different caretaker here a while back that was a bit of an arrogant prick only talk when it suited him bla bla bla, one morning he decided to say good morning to one of the polish girls she told him to go f**k himself and walked off when I spoke to her she said he only talks when it suites him and manners are taught in her country from childhood so he’s out, you either like me or not no middle ground so yes I can see were your coming from 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
